Jordan 1 Trek Cool Grey Seems to Be the Way
The Air Jordan 1 is the trainer that started it all, marking the beginning of the most iconic lineage of trainers in history. In many ways, it's responsible for launching modern-day trainer culture as a whole - and it almost didn't happen.
History of Air Jordan 1
As the story goes, the year was 1984, and Chicago Bulls' rookie Michael Jordan was a hot commodity for endorsement deals, with trainers naturally being paramount.
Jordan had just come off a stellar college basketball season at the University of North Carolina. He wore Converse and was a personal fan of Adidas, so he took meetings with both companies, but they never reached a deal. It seems strange today, but at the time, Michael Jordan hated Nike - so much so that he refused to take a meeting with them.
He was persuaded by his mother, Deloris Jordan, to visit the Nike campus in Oregon and listen to their pitch. His plan was to go through the motions to appease his parents and agent but he ultimately left with a contract unlike any other.
Rather than walking in the shadows of established athletes like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird (which may have been the case had he signed elsewhere), Michael Jordan shone in the Nike limelight. He was paid more than any other athlete with a trainer endorsement at the time. Nike made him the face of its growing presence in basketball, and gave him his own trainer line - called Air Jordan.
The Air Jordan 1 Trek Cool Grey high-tops have a balanced amount of Cool Grey and Gamma Blue panels with Black and Gym Red highlights. The Jordan 1 grey panels cover the mudguard, lace liners, and dual wraps around the heel. A black Jumpman logo is on the lower heel panel. Gamma Blue covers the entire sole except for a thin Gym Red line wrapping the edge of the heel. Outlined in black stitching on the side panels is a Gamma Blue Swoosh. An image of the Jumpman logo over a city-scape background is on the front of the tongue. This new Jordan 1 colourway gives the classic design a contemporary look.
