Introduced in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 was Michael Jordan's inaugural signature shoe with Nike, crafted by Peter Moore and drawing inspiration from other iconic Nike models like the 'Air Force 1' and 'Dunk High'. While it shared similarities with these sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 stood out with its distinctive logo featuring a basketball and wings, a perfect symbol for 'Air Jordan'. The shoe's original 1985 retail price was $69.99.
