Introducing the 8/13 Air Jordan 1 High Seafoam

The Air Jordan 1 is the sneaker that started it all, marking the beginning of the most iconic lineage of sneakers in history. In many ways, it's responsible for launching modern-day sneaker culture as a whole—and it almost didn't happen.

History of Air Jordan 1

As the story goes, the year was 1984, and Chicago Bulls' rookie Michael Jordan was a hot commodity for endorsement deals, with sneakers naturally being paramount.

Jordan had just come off a stellar college basketball season at the University of North Carolina. He wore Converse and was a personal fan of Adidas, so he took meetings with both companies, but they never reached a deal. It seems strange today, but at the time, Michael Jordan hated Nike—so much so that he refused to take a meeting with them.

He was persuaded by his mother, Deloris Jordan, to visit the Nike campus in Oregon and listen to their pitch. His plan was to go through the motions to appease his parents and agent but he ultimately left with a contract unlike any other.

Rather than walking in the shadows of established athletes like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird (which may have been the case had he signed elsewhere), Michael Jordan shone in the Nike limelight. He was paid more than any other athlete with a sneaker endorsement at the time. Nike made him the face of its growing presence in basketball, and gave him his own sneaker line—called Air Jordan.

Jordan 1 Retro High OG Seafoam 2021

Nearly 40 years after the Air Jordan 1 High debuted in 1985, the line remains relevant as it prepares to release a women's sage-inspired colorway in August of 2021. The Air Jordan 1 Seafoam’s upper is entirely leather with a smooth white base and perforations on the toe box. It features light green overlays and off-white laces lined with healing orange trim. On the shoe's collar is the Air Jordan wings logo in white, and below lies the Nike Swoosh in sage green. There is also a Nike logo on a pale green tab affixed to the upper part of the tongue. The sneakers wrap up with a white midsole and green outsole of rubber.
