Nike Air Jordan 1 ‘Legends of Summer’

The Nike “Air Jordan” is one of the most iconic designs in the history of both streetwear and basketball, and is a key part of the origin of the Air Jordan brand for Nike. Designed by Peter Moore, Air Jordan 1s were worn by Michael Jordan in 1984 and 1985.

The original Air Jordan 1s were so popular and successful that Nike continued to make new signature Air Jordans each season. This tradition continued beyond Michael’s retirement, and Nike is currently on the Air Jordan 37. From the day it launched, Air Jordans have always represented the pinnacle of sneaker design. The shoes are unmatched when it comes to quality, craftsmanship, materials, innovation, performance and, of course, style.

In 2013, while on the “Legends of Summer” tour with Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake wore a series of exclusive Air Jordans that many hoped would be given a wide release. However, they only were given out exclusively to friends and family of the artists, making them extremely sought after by collectors.

The “Legends of Summer” collection consisted of different variations of the Air Jordan 1 that each boasted a variety of premium materials, including patent leather and snakeskin. This particular pair is made of black and University Red leather with metallic red and chrome details.
