A Brief History of the Air Jordans
Work your way through sneaker history, and you'll find that some shoes had more mystique than others. The shoes that stand apart from the rest are undoubtedly Air Jordans. Interestingly, Nike hoped they'd sell enough Air Jordan sneakers when they were released to generate $3 million in new sales. These popular sneakers outdid those expectations and then some, with these classic sneakers generating $3 million every five hours. They're popular sneakers for sneakerheads, but it's still a valuable lesson to learn the history behind these iconic shoes.

Air Jordans have a reputation for being the most popular shoes of all time. The hype reaches way beyond basketball fans and shoe collectors. These shoes are branded with the name of Michael Jordan, the legendary basketball player, which explains their wild success. The very first Air Jordans were produced exclusively for Michael Jordan in late 1984 and then released for the public the next year. Since then, so many different models have been designed that shoe collectors have their hands full hunting them all down.
