ORIGINS
Since his game-winning shot that brought the National Championship to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, setting a new standard for performance and style, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Ever evolving, ever at the pinnacle of imagination, the Air Jordan line is the ultimate in basketball footwear.

MAXIMUM RESPONSE
Nike's new innovative Flight Plate technology maximizes the responsiveness of the Nike Zoom cushioning.
An aggressive and rigid Pebax ® moderator plate works with the Nike Zoom units in the heel and forefoot to disperse compression force evenly across the foot, resulting in instant response and maximum energy efficiency.
LIGHTWEIGHT SUPPORT
This shoe's Dynamic Fit system includes straps that wrap up from the midsole and integrate with the laces for lightweight support that moves with the foot.
ELITE LOOK
An eight-inch, stretch-synthetic zip sleeve adds support while lending an elite and modern look.
FEATURED TECHNOLOGY
NIKE ZOOM
Nike Zoom cushioning is part of the Nike Air family, and—like its siblings—it’s lightweight and durable. Because Nike Zoom cushioning is incredibly thin, it brings the foot closer to the ground and enhances stability, especially during quick cuts and multi-directional movements. After impact, the tightly stretched fibers inside the pressurized air unit quickly bounce back into shape, providing a super-responsive feel and improved awareness of the surface you’re playing on.
