Nike Air Jordan 5

2009-08-14T06:35:00.000-07:00

The Nike Air Jordan 5 sneaker was a huge hit when it was first released. Not only did it have the styling and appeal that everyone liked, but Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls kept building their popularity during this time as well. So, basically it became a win-win situation for Michael Jordan and for Nike Air as well.

During the season, Michael Jordan led the league in scoring AGAIN, as well as steals. Phil Jackson had come on as head coach and this was the very beginning of what would be an incredible sports dynasty. The Jordan 5 sneaker was designed in a breakthrough fashion and this helped to set it apart from any other shoe that was on the market at the time.

Later on, Nike would also make this shoe available as a Retro Nike model and available in a multitude of color options. Supposedly, the shoe's design was somewhat based on the World War 2 Mustang fighter planes.

As with any other Michael Jordan shoe, the Air Jordan 5 is very heavily counterfeited and buyers should be aware that if the price they are paying seems to be way too good to be true, the chances are pretty good that they are not getting the official Nike branded version.

The Nike Air Jordan 5 was a continued success and helped to make the Air Jordan line a staple in the Nike arsenal of shoes. This helped to keep Nike ahead of Reebok which was its chief competitor at the time. The Nike Air Jordan 5 is a must have for the serious collector of Nike shoes, especially the Air Jordan line.

Nike Air Jordan 4

2009-08-10T20:44:00.000-07:00

The release of the Nike Air Jordan 4 continued on with both the innovation and design by Nike as well as Michael Jordan's continued domination as the number one shoe endorser in the world. This was a very popular model when it was released and I can remember how excited people were to get a pair of these shoes.

Today, these sneakers have been re-released several times as Retro models and they continue to sell extremely well. The Air Jordan 4 can now be found in an abundance of color schemes and they are an excellent court shoe as well as going well with whatever outfit that you may be wearing.

These shoes continued to be featured in commercials with both Spike Lee and Michael Jordan which only helped to boost their popularity even more.

If you find an original pair of these Nike Air Jordan 4 shoes, they are worth a lot of money. Some of the Retro models were released in limited quantities, so they too, can bring a hefty price tag if you are even lucky enough to find a pair.

These shoes are heavily counterfeited and mass produced today and sold on the internet. If the price is under $ 100, you can pretty much count on them being fake. Take caution when purchasing a pair of Nike Air Jordan sneakers as you want to keep in mind that you are probably not buying the real thing.

Nike Air Jordan 3

2009-08-10T19:41:00.000-07:00

This is the shoe that really started the Nationwide phenomenon with Jordan sneakers as the Nike commercial with Spike Lee playing Mars Blackmon debuted along with these shoes. Remember the whole, "It's gotta be the shoes!" thing?

These shoes were extremely popular when they first came out. Even as a young kid, I can remember that everyone wanted a pair of these shoes and the ones who did get a pair, were especially lucky.

The Nike Air Jordan 3 featured the Jumpman logo for the first time and it also included the visible air bubble that Nike became known for throughout the late 1980's and early 1990's. This was a shoe that pretty much created the entire buzz where everyone waited to see what the new Air Jordan would look like.

If you can get your hands on a pair of these, then you definitely should as they are the sneakers that put Michael Jordan as the hands down number one celebrity endorser for shoes.

As always, there are many counterfeit models that are being sold and presented as the authentic Nike Air Jordan 3 sneakers, but be aware. If they are being sold at a low price like $ 60 or something, you have to really wonder.

Nike Air Jordan 2

2009-08-10T19:37:00.000-07:00

The Nike Air Jordan 2 is well over 20 years old but it still continues to be a hot design and very in demand today. Michael Jordan wore this shoe when he won his first slam dunk contest and also averaged 37.1 PPG. This was an extremely popular shoe in its day and is still in high demand, provif\ding that you have an authentic pair.

There are many places that now sell knock off versions of the Air Jordan 2; however, the original and authentic Nike is the one that is in the most demand of all. After all, you want to have the authentic versions if you have a complete collection of Air Jordan or of any Retro Air Nikes in your closet.

The color schemes are very popular with the white and red being the ones that are most associated with what Michael Jordan actually wore during the season.

Finding an authentic pair of Nike Air Jordan 2 sneakers is a very special thing and if you do, be sure to hold on to them as they are very likely to stay at a high cost.

Just as with anything else on the internet, you want to make sure that you buy from someone with a good reputation and not fall for the many sites that sell the knock off versions.

Nike Air Jordan 1

2009-08-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

The Nike Air Jordan 1 would probably be considered UGLY by today's standards. However, when the Nike Air Jordan 1 shoe first came out, no one knew that this would be the shoe to propel Nike to almost total domination of the basketball shoe market. The classic black and red shoe brings back the memories of when Michael Jordan first stepped onto the scene and grabbed a hold of everyone's attention.

Today, you can get retro Nike Air Jordan 1 shoes in multiple colors. Although they still are pretty ugly by today's standards, they do bring back the nostalgia of the mid 1980's. The Nike Air Jordan 1 is a definitely a CLASSIC must have for anyone that loves Nike shoes.

Nike AJF 4

2009-08-10T13:31:00.000-07:00

The Nike Air Jordan Fusions have continued to be among the most popular shoes that are currently out on the market today. Whether or not you want to just have a classic shoe for style, or you want to be able to kick back and remember the old school, the Nike AJF 4 will give you what you want.

You can find them in multiple colors, though personally I like the white with the Carolina blue the best. However, these are not the best shoes if you are going to get in on a real game of basketball. These are more to look fresh with a pair of shorts and a fitted hat to match. The Nike AJF 4 is a hot choice right now.

Nike Air Jordan

2009-08-10T13:16:00.000-07:00

Nike Air Jordan remains as the most popular line of shoe that is out there today. It's hard to imagine that a shoe that first came out over 20 years ago still dominates the shoe market. Nike shoes in general stay head and shoulders above the rest of the shoe makers that are out there.

As a kid, the Nike Air Jordan was the one shoe that EVERYONE wanted to have even if they did not like the Bulls or Michael Jordan. With their overall marketing strategy seeming to have taken over the shoe industry long ago, it doesn't seem like Nike shoes will EVER go out of style and the Air Jordan shoes will continue to be a best seller even when Michael Jordan is an old man.

Nike Air Flight

2009-08-10T13:09:00.000-07:00

I can still remember the first pair of Nike Shoes that I ever wore. They were a white on white Air Flight shoe from around the year 1988. There's nothing like a nice pair of Nike Shoes, especially Nike Air Flight when you were a kid. They made you feel like you really could go out and play ball just like the NBA players did.

Of course, just because you had a pair of Nike Air Flight shoes does not mean that you were going to start dunking on anyone. But, they sure did make you feel like you could. It's kind of cool that now they keep releasing retro Nike shoes so that you can still go out and get a pair just like you had back in the day.
