Released in 1986, the Air Jordan 1 was the first silhouette designed for the one and only Michael Jordan. Its original blacked out colourway conflicted with NBA’s league colour rules, and consequently, the sneaker was immediately banned. This didn’t stop MJ from donning the trainers though, which subsequently led to the basketball star being issued with a hefty fine. Nike decided to pay the fine for each on-court appearance, and Michael Jordan went on to make Jordan one of the most hyped brands around.
