Ask any hypebeast which exact pair of shoes they visualize when they hear the word “sneakers” and there’s a very good chance it’ll be hightop Air Jordan 1s (probably in the famed OG Chicago colorway). Debuting on the court in ’84 and released to the general public 35 years ago on April 1, 1985, the Jordan 1s single-handedly created sneaker culture. That’s no exaggeration. Must-cop colorways, store exclusives, a robust aftermarket with jaw-dropping prices… it all started here, with this sneaker silhouette.
