Air Jordans now cost between US$100 and US$200 when there is a new release, if not more, but they were only US$65 when the first Nike Air Jordan 1s were released in the mid-1980s. The sneakers were designed by Peter C. Moore to Michael Jordan in his glory days with the Chicago Bulls.
The Air Jordan 1s were first released between 1985 and 1986. Then there were more “Retro” releases in 1994, early 2000s and 2007, with new releases even now.
The Air Jordan 1 was so successful that Nike released the IIs in 1986, with very little pause between releases. Original Air Jordan 1s from the 1980s are worth over half a million dollars today. Replicas are worth between 200 and 400 dollars.
