Michael Jordan Sneakers

Just as Michael Jordan left an indelible stamp on the game of basketball, his Nike line of Michael Jordan sneakers has changed the face of athletic footwear as we know it. When the first pair of Air Jordan sneakers, as Michael’s brand line is known, came out in 1984, most basketball shoes were a monochromatic white or black. In homage to Michael’s team, the Chicago Bulls, the Air Jordan shoes sported a combination of red, white, and black. Throughout the years, the styles of have changed and Nike has introduced many new colors into their Air Jordan line, but the allure of Michael Jordan sneakers has never paled.

The main line of Air Jordans starts with I and goes all the way up to XX3, Nike’s latest line of shoes. Every year, there have been design and style improvements to the new shoes. The XX3 are no exception. With this shoe, Nike has made a number of innovations that reduce their carbon footprint and bring recycled material into their products. We certainly hope that they keep it up in all their shoes in the future. For example, they have cut down on their adhesive use so that there are fewer emissions. Also, the sole of made from recycled rubber. There are rumors circulating that this may be the last official Air Jordan release.

However, Nike still makes a lot of other shoes in the Jordan line. These shoes can be used for basketball, but are more specifically designed for baseball, football, cross-training, and casual use. The last is nod to the fact that most people who buy Michael Jordan sneakers are no more than dilettante basketball players who prefer Jordan’s signature style. The Jordan Fusions combine elements of past Air Jordan and Air Force 1 releases to give you an overall comfortable shoe. The Air Jordan Sixty Plus commemorates the shoes Michael Jordan wore during games where he scored sixty or more points. Finally, the Jordan Phly are a retro throwback to the days when basketball was played in no-support canvas high tops. Of course, these Michael Jordan sneakers still have the same amazing cushioning technology as the rest of the line.
