The Air Jordan 1 silhouette, first released in 1985, marked a turning point in both basketball footwear and sneaker culture. Designed by Peter Moore, the Air Jordan 1 was a revolutionary design, incorporating bold colorways that defied NBA uniform regulations, setting the stage for the brand’s iconic history.
Michael Jordan’s groundbreaking success, paired with Nike’s strategic marketing, turned the AJ1 into more than just a basketball shoe—it became a cultural symbol. Over the years, the Air Jordan 1 has seen countless re-releases and variations, becoming one of the most sought-after and recognizable sneakers in the world.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG "Rookie of the Year" fits true to size for most wearers. If you have a standard foot width, going with your regular size should offer a comfortable, secure fit. For those with narrower feet, consider going a half size down for a snugger feel, while those with wider feet may want to opt for their true size or even a half size up if they prefer a little more room.
Keep in mind that the Air Jordan 1 offers classic styling, but its cushioning isn’t as plush as some more modern sneakers, so it may take some time to break in. Be sure to take that into account for maximum comfort during wear.
