Air Jordan

Jordan Brand and numbered Air Jordan models

Jordan is one of three brands under NIKE, Inc., alongside Nike and Converse. Each Air Jordan model is numbered, and the first, Air Jordan 1, debuted in 1985.

Tinker Hatfield designed, among others, the Air Jordan 3, 5, and 11, and the Air Jordan 3 was his first design in the line.

Are Jordans comfortable?

How comfortable Jordans are depends on the model, because their cushioning systems differ. The Air Jordan 1 uses Nike Air technology, with a closed Air-Sole unit in the Low version. The Air Jordan 3 Retro has Air-Sole units in the heel and forefoot, while the Air Jordan 5 Retro has a visible Air unit under the heel and a closed Air unit in the forefoot.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro has a full-length Air-Sole unit and a padded tongue and collar. W the Air Jordan 4 RM, a new take on the AJ4 for everyday wear, features Max Air in the heel.

Air Jordan models in the collection

Air Jordan 1 is the largest group in the range. W the collection Air Jordan 1 includes Low, Mid, and High versions, women’s line models, and Travis Scott pairs, distinguished by their signature reversed Swoosh.

W the collection Air Jordan 4 includes, among others, Black Cat, White Cement, Military Blue, Bred Reimagined, and SB and RM versions.

Air Jordan 5 From 1990, it was the first Jordan Brand signature model with a translucent sole.

Air Jordan sizing

How do Air Jordan 4s fit?

For a standard foot shape, the Air Jordan 4 Retro usually fits true to size, but Nike's size guide recommends going half a size up for people with wider feet. W Men's sizing, the model also fits true to size, but many people find it narrower in the forefoot, around the metatarsal area. With a C or D width, you may want to consider going up half a size.

W Women's sizing, the AJ4 Retro also usually fits true to size, although the forefoot can feel tighter than in some other sneakers. The exceptions are the Air Jordan 4 Retro SB and Reimagined versions, for which the size guide recommends your usual size for both standard and wide feet.

For the Air Jordan 1, Nike usually doesn't provide this kind of guidance on product pages. If you're not sure which size to choose, contact us before ordering.
