Air Jordan Logo

Air Jordan is an American brand of sports clothes and footwear produced by Nike. It was made as a sign of thankfulness and appreciation to Michael Jordan for his contribution to the publicity of basketball across the world. So, the brand was not ever associated directly with Jordan.

Meaning and History

There’re several opinions on how Air Jordan got this name. One of them reflects that the initial ‘Air’ part was added up because Nike developed the Air technology that was supposed to help your feet feel more fluent. All this was the nod of respect to the ‘air’ style which Michael used to play with.
