February 13, 2013 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

Sports Illustrated joins in the celebration of Michael Jordan’s 50th birthday with its 50th cover featuring the former Chicago Bulls star. Interestingly, SI notes that Jordan — now owner of the Charlotte Bobcats — again declined the magazine’s requests for an interview, as he has done ever since SI made light of his attempt to play baseball following his first retirement in 1993.

2001 Air Jordan 1 (I) – Black / Varsity Red / Royal Blue DS

December 27, 2012 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

The Air Jordan 1 (I) – Black / Varsity Red are the definition of “Old Skool”. Originally released in March of 1985, they retailed for a measly $64.99, a price that we would all love to see today next to a pair of Air Jordans. These were the start of a beautiful era. They have been the inspiration for many shoes, as others have created shoes which featured many similarities to these. They were even banned because according to Jordan, “They didn’t have any white in them”, and he was even fined every time he laced them up. So not only are these pretty to look at, but they were part of a small movement, and are highly adored by Jordan fans.

Air Jordan XI “Breds” 1996-2001-2012

December 22, 2012 | Category: Ward 1 Sneakers

MJ wore the AJ11 Breds while leading the Bulls to an unparalleled 72-10 record and 4th NBA Championship. If you notice, these XIs didn’t require a special box, but a simple black/red Nike box of that era. Another tidbit of info regarding the Bred XI is that Japan got a separate release of these, which came with slightly altered serial numbers on the tag as well as a black tissue paper.
