On this day, November 17, 1984, the world got its first look at the iconic Air Jordans, which would go on sale the following April for $65. Endorsed by the rising NBA star Michael Jordan, these shoes quickly became a cultural phenomenon, blending sports with street style in a way that forever changed the sneaker industry. From then on, Air Jordans weren’t just basketball shoes; they became a symbol of style and status.

Did you own a pair of the original Air Jordans? Or maybe you still have a pair?
