Air Jordan power rankings: Which shoe is tops as the brand celebrates 40 years?
SHARE

As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan signature shoe, it’s only fitting to rank the top 10 iterations of this iconic footwear. The beauty of creating such a list lies in the subjectivity of personal preferences, as there is no definitive right or wrong ranking. However, opinions are bound to differ among enthusiasts and fans alike.

The Air Jordan brand has evolved far beyond its basketball origins. It now boasts a roster of signature athletes like Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum, transcending the boundaries of sports to become a fashion statement in its own right. Gone are the days when pairing Jordans with a suit would be considered casual – in today’s world, it’s a style statement embraced by many.

One cannot overlook the influence of Spike Lee, who introduced the Air Jordan to the masses through his character Mars Blackmon in Nike commercials. Additionally, the shoe gained further prominence when Will Smith sported it in the opening scene of the hit sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan line drew inspiration from a World War II fighter plane, evident in the shark-tooth design on the midsoles.

Among the top 10 iterations, the Jordan 7 stands out for its association with the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, where Jordan led Team USA to a gold medal victory over Croatia. This shoe, devoid of the Nike Swoosh, prominently featured the Jumpman logo, solidifying its identity as a quintessential Jordan creation. Notable moments like Jordan’s appearance in the “Jam” music video add to the shoe’s legacy.

The Jordan 5 marked a departure from conventional designs with its crisscrossed straps, velcro closures, and unique paint-style patterns. Worn during Jordan’s third championship win against the Phoenix Suns, this shoe encapsulates the essence of a historic era in basketball. Not to mention, it was the shoe that garnered attention in Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing.”

Moving up the list, the Jordan 3 holds a special place as the first shoe designed by Tinker Hatfield. This iteration witnessed Jordan’s victory over Dominique Wilkins in the 1988 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, further solidifying its iconic status. The elephant print and Jumpman logo on the shoe remain timeless features that resonate with sneaker enthusiasts worldwide.

Finally, the Jordan 11 reigns supreme as a true classic in the Air Jordan lineup. The Concord and Space Jam versions stand out as iconic releases worn by Jordan during pivotal moments in his career. These shoes, versatile enough to complement formal attire like suits and tuxedos, have become a must-have for sneakerheads and fashion aficionados alike.

As we reflect on 40 years of Air Jordan history, it’s evident that each iteration holds a unique place in the hearts of fans and collectors alike. The legacy of Air Jordans continues to evolve, transcending generations and solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon.
