The BIGGEST Problem With Jordan 1s

The Jordan 1 has been one of the most iconic models that Nike has released ever since. Popularized by Michael Jordan himself, many people wanted to get their hands on the shoe due to their desires to play and jump as high as the Chicago Bulls legend. However, J1s found itself going beyond the hardwood as the sneaker quickly became a part of American pop culture and a celebrated piece in streetwear today.

Since its release in April 1985, the Jordan 1 model has stood the test of time as it still remains to be a highly coveted shoe many decades later. In an interview with Dillon, the owner of a newly-opened sneaker store in San Diego named Off The Bench, he thinks that Nike has been mixing it up too much that it lessens the appreciation that people have for the model.

Certainly enough, Jordan 1s will always be remembered for its famed Chicago, UNC, and Royal Blue colorways. However, as Dillion mentioned, the brand eventually rolled the sneaker in newer color combinations like the Retro Japan Pack, XQ, Hare, and Shattered Backboard.

The J1 model was also released in limited edition collaborations with labels like Off-White, Levi’s, Fragment, and Quai 54. Partnerships with popular icons such as skateboarder Lance Mountain, stylist Aleali May, and rapper Travis Scott also graced the famed Jordan silhouette in recent years.
