In 1985 Nike released the Air Jordan 1, designed by Peter Moore, culminating the beggining of Michael Jordan�s career and sneaker line. Following its initial run in the 80s, the Jordan 1 jumpstarted the retro era in 1994, following Jordan's retirement from basketball. It wasn't until 2008 that Jordan Brand started re-releasing the Jordan 1 with its original high cut silhouette. Since then, the Jordan 1 High has had a relatively consistent presence in the market and is a must have for most sneakerheads.
