NIKE, 1985

Size US 9.5

It all started in 1985, when Michael Jordan and Nike combined forces for the inaugural Air Jordan sneaker. This moment marked the birth of the collectible sneaker market. Popularity spread, and before long the masses began wearing basketball shoes as a fashion statement off the court. Since then, the Air Jordan phenomenon has exploded, taking on a life of its own. More than thirty-seven years later, the Jordan brand is amongst the most relevant on the market, with new releases selling out within seconds to generations of fans.

This mint condition, Original 1985 Air Jordan 1 Chicago is a "Grail" for any collection. This original pair is extremely special, as it features two beautiful Michael Jordan signatures on the collars, accompanied with the original box and accessories. The signatures have been authenticated by JSA. Christie’s and SAAS are proud to bring this special collector’s item to market.
