He earned his nickname by the heights he reached and what he could do with a basketball when he got there. But Michael Jordanβs most enduring legacy may just be the long line of Air Jordan shoes that help us remember his every feat.
Built to Last, for Lasting Comfort
Once built to exacting specifications to give the gameβs greatest player every advantage on professional basketball courts, Air Jordan sneakers enjoy a more laid-back lifestyle these days.
The original drops of Air Jordan models were so popular that Nike began re-releasing some of the most popular silhouettes in 1994. Then the Swoosh spun off the Jumpman to a brand of its own in 1997, and Jordan Retros have taken over sneakerhead culture by storm.
The Air Jordan Retro 1 High OG is a direct connection to the one you can see on those early posters. The prominent Swoosh on the midfoot, high top, and MJβs original Wings logo on the ankle collar are like you're wearing legendary moments of the past.
The Jordan AJ 1 Mid is a slightly lower takedown of that original, available in womenβs sizes as well as menβs.
Retros abound from a variety of eras. The Retro 3 is easily recognizable for the bold elephant print introduced to the sneaker world.
The Retro 5 features a βshark toothβ design on the lateral (outer) midsole, derived from World War II fighter planes.
And the Retro 13 channels MJβs on-court βBlack Catβ persona with a quilted upper and an outsole that resembles a sure-grip paw.
Get a Foothold and Finish Strong
However you build your look from the ground up, finish strong with Jordan clothing from Foot Locker. From pullovers to full-zip styles, T-shirts and fleece hoodies give you layers to love. Menβs Jordan basketball shoes are just the start of an active, court-ready look. Jordan shorts offer a variety. Diamond shorts feature the same diamond logo that you see on the outer leg of MJβs game shorts. Other colorblocked options include mashups of his teamΒ colors. Still, others go simple but noticeable with a single allover color and an unmistakable Jumpman logo.
