Discount Air Jordan Shoes

The Air Jordan brand is one of the most successful shoe lines ever created. The brand was created by Nike in 1985 for arguably the best basketball player of all time, Micheal Jordan. Since 1985, Air Jordan has released a new model of their Air Jordan sneaker each year. The 1st release of Air Jordan shoes (also known as 'Jordans') were known as the Air Jordan I. The styles go numerically from 1 to 23 (I to XXIII) and continue with 2009 and 2010. Micheal Jordan wore the # 23 for part of his basketball career, which was the reason why the models go up to 23 and then continue numerically in a different format. All of the models and styles of shoes have their own unique characteristics which make them all very sought after footwear. Every Air Jordan Shoe model has its own interesting facts.
