Today is Michael Jordan’s birthday and while there are plenty of ways to celebrate MJ’s legacy, one can’t mention Jordan without his fantastic sneaker legacy.
The Air Jordan line has become as iconic as the legend himself. Who can think about Jordan’s rookie year without seeing the Air Jordan 1s or MJ’s first championship without the 6s?
Fittingly, Bleacher Report has taken the time to make a video detailing the evolution of the Air Jordan model just in time for Jordan’s 52nd birthday. What makes the clip particularly entertaining is that each model has a small “story” to go with it, indicating what historic moment took place in Michael Jordan’s career while he was wearing each model (and what is most memorable about each model which followed Jordan’s last retirement). It is a trip down memory lane which is well worth your time whether you’re a basketball fan or a sneakerhead.
