My Favorite Nike Air Jordan active wear sneakers

This is it, folks. This is the one. My all time personal favorite Jordan sneaker. It catapulted the Air Jordan from just another signature line to a pop cultural phenomenon worth mythologizing, lining up for, debating over, and writing lists like thi...
Jordan 3 Retro White Cement Reimagined
The Air Jordan 1’s are the sneaker of style, of Nike, of MJ—in a single high-top sneaker. This is the black-and-red colorway that the NBA deemed illegal, leading Nike to pay Jordan’s fines, literally every sneaker to follow to drop in its own “bred” ...
Jordan 1 Retro High OG Chicago Lost and Found
The pinnacle of his sneaker line during the 1990’s—without question—is the Air Jordan XI. Like all great Jordans, the XI is a seamless marriage of neck-snapping style and elite performance. Even now, that gleaming, tuxedo-aping patent leather is asto...
Jordan 11 Retro Playoffs Bred (2019)
Supposedly the Jordan VI’s designer,Tinker Hatfield was inspired by Jordan’s Porsche 911 while designing these sneakers. Which seems...wrong, because the 911 is sleek and bulbous and a paragon of timeless design, and the Air Jordan VI is all hard ang...
Jordan 6 Retro Low Infrared White
The Jordan IV’s became the first Js to get a global release, coinciding with designer Tinker Hatfield really coming into his own and flexing his muscles: experimenting with mesh and molded plastics, and using nubuck leather on a basketball shoe for t...
Jordan 4 Retro Bred Reimagined
Following up the showstopping XIs was no easy task, but Tinker managed it by adjusting the dials on looks (swapping out the flashy patent for subtle pebbled leather and cascading quilted panels) and performance (the XII is still considered one of the...
Jordan 12 Retro Flu Game (2003)
Thanks to Will Smith and a little show called The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, these might be the first shoes you picture when you close your eyes and think “Air Jordan.” The V carried over a couple of elements from the IV—namely, the plastic mesh on the...
Jordan 5 Retro Satin Bred
Long before NBA stars were style gods, or anyone had even considered the idea of wearing sneakers with a suit, the Air Jordan II attempted to bridge the worlds of sportswear and high fashion. It did so by minimizing the Nike branding, wrapping its un...
Jordan 2 Retro OG Chicago (2022)
Visually, the VIIs are nearly identical to the VIs: same geometric panelling on the uppers, same jagged edges along the midsole. But make no mistake—this shoe has a legacy entirely its own. For one thing, this was the first Air Jordan to be released ...
Jordan 7 Retro Olympic (2012)
I. 1998, wheb Michael Jordan definitely doesn’t push off Bryon Russell in the Finals, he wore these. The XIVs earned their place with a Ferrari-indebted design that looks fast even on this page. Those little dino claws up front, that tech-y tongue at...
Jordan 14 Retro Last Shot (2018)
This was the shoe Jordan wore for long chunks of the 1997-1998 season—his last one as a Bull, and the centerpiece of The Last Dance. By that point, Jordan was a global icon. And the 13—luxe, textured, vaguely organic—is the shoe of a very wealthy bas...
Jordan 13 Retro Bred (2013)
Bizarrely, the XVI isn’t the first Jordan to play with the idea of spats, those shoe coverings that haven’t been seen since the 1940s. (That’d be the XI.) But the XVI is the first to make those spats removable—silly, maybe, but the latest, most notab...
Jordan 16 Retro Midnight Navy (2016)
