As the most influential sneaker in contemporary times, I believe everyone is familiar with the appearance of Air Jordan 1, especially the eye-catching “Wings” Logo on the side. But did you know that the original Air Jordan 1 samples did not have this design?
Recently, a pair of Air Jordan 1 “Bred” sample shoes were unveiled at the Gray Flannel auction, giving us a glimpse of different versions of Air Jordan 1.
Although it has a similar shoe shape and color scheme to the current Air Jordan 1 “Bred”, the side pattern is not the “Wings” logo, but replaced with “AIR JORDAN” in black font; the tongue label does not have the word AIR, but only It is composed of NIKE and Swoosh Logo. Interestingly, the two shoes are not the same size. The left foot is size 13 and the right foot is size 13.5. It is said that they were customized according to Michael Jordan’s needs at the time. In addition, the shoe model code is also printed inside the collar as proof.
According to the seller: “This pair of Air Jordan 1 prototype samples was obtained in 1984. I received it from the coach of the University of Portland basketball team. At that time, Nike gave it to him and wanted him to experiment with different styles of Jordans on some players. Basketball shoes. I have kept them for 40 years and never displayed them.”
This pair of Air Jordan 1 “Bred” sample shoes will be auctioned at Gray Flannel Auctions on May 20, with a starting bid of $25,000.
