NModern sneaker culture had its roots in the air; that ism the original Air Jordan that released in 1985. Nike, and subsequently the Jordan Brand, has honored this iconic silhouette numerous times since with releases of the Retro 1. This first pair of Air Jordan wa the only one in the series to feature the familiar Nike swoosh logo. And predating the Jumpman logo, the OG shoe featured the wings logo- a basketball with wings stretching from both sides and “Air Jordan” printed above the ball. Nike filed the wings logo as a trademark on May 7, 1985.
