The Daily Jordan: Air Jordan 1 “Letterman”

With 30 years elapsed since Michael Jordan started his historic run as an international sports superstar, Jordan Brand hit pause to honor the milestone with key Air Jordan 1 releases. The famed red, black and white “Chicago” came back in 2015 as a universal favorite, but so did a new orange, white and black “Shattered Backboard” edition shouting the time MJ did just that on an overseas Nike trip. Air Jordan 1 “David Letterman” tracks more to that theme, unearthing the memory of Mike’s appearance on Late Night with David Letterman in 1986. It’s one of the earliest national TV appearances for the young Chicago Bulls star, and of course he got a chance to plug his Air Jordan 1 signature sneakers. His red and blue track suit provides the colors for this retro release, and Jordan Brand even added the touch of “On Air” insoles. You can shop pairs now at Stadium Goods.
