This year is the 35th year anniversary of Michael Jordan’s “Air Jordan” sneaker line was first released. The Air Jordan sneaker line has not only revolutionized the sneaker game but in the fashion game in general. When discussing the greatest shoes of all-time, Air Jordans will always be brought up in the discussion. What make the shoes so much more iconic, beyond the look of the shoes is the iconic moments made in them by the namesake of the brand…NBA legend Michael Jordan. From scoring 63 against the Boston Celtics in the 1986 NBA Playoffs to the 1992 Olympic Dream Team all the way to his “Last Shot” with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan has so many iconic moments that have led to the shoes being held in much higher regard. Picking the top 10 Jordan sneaker models was tough but somehow some way I was able to do it.
