Jordan 1 Retro Phat Low Polka Dot Black White
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 Promo Black/University Red/White 2016 Sample
These Jordan Retro 1 Low Phat sneakers were released originally on April 1, 2009. This colorway features a black and white color scheme that captures the look of the 2000s. The polka dot pattern stands out sharply against the black. A black Swoosh with a white outline adds even more contrast to this high-contrast shoe. The extended tongue features the classic Jumpman logo right in the center. The chunky black laces look a little lighter than the black on the rest of the shoe from some angles. A gummy white outsole grips the court and the pavement. Stippling on the tip of the outsole adds a bit of traction to the shoe as well.
