Probably the most iconic piece of footwear in human history, these are the original Nike Air Jordan I's, the shoes that started it all. The Air Jordan I was released in 1984 sporting a red-black colorway which the NBA immediately banned. As a result Nike then created the red-white colorway (in 1985) which the NBA "allowed" however Jordan was to be fined $5,000 for every game that he wore them. The story goes that Nike then decided to pay the fines for Jordan which amounted to over $400k+ that season. Nike released the sneaker line with the modest goal of making $3 million in the first three years. In the first year alone the shoes generated over $126 million in revenue. Today the Air Jordan brand is widely recognized as the most successful shoe/sneaker line in the history of fashion. Please see images for details regarding condition.
