Air Jordans: 1984-2012 (AJ I, II, III, IV)

Air Jordan I - "Notorious" (1984): The shoe that started it all. The original black and red version was barred by the NBA for "non-regulation colors." 

Air Jordan II - "Italian Stallion" (1987): Jordan won his first dunk title in these shoes

Air Jordan III - "Gotta Be The Shoes" (1988): This was the shoe that sparked Mars Blackmon (played by Spike Lee) to declare, "It's gotta be the shoes." Jordan won his first MVP award wearing these shoes

Air Jordan IV - "Taking Flight" (1989): Cleveland Cavaliers fans must rue these shoes; Jordan wore these when he hit "The Shot" to beat them in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
