About the Jordan 1 High Zoom Comfort in Stadium Green

The Air Jordan 1 is the sneaker that started it all, marking the beginning of the most iconic lineage of sneakers in history. In many ways, it's responsible for launching modern-day sneaker 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 sneakers 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 sneaker endorsement at the time. Nike made him the face of its growing presence in basketball, and gave him his own sneaker line—called Air Jordan.

Jordan 1 High Zoom Comfort Stadium Green 2021

A reimagining of the OG Jordan 1 silhouette, these Jordan Comfort Stadium Greens show off a fresh high top that's outfitted with extra support and cushioning inside. Dark green covers the upper with textile material while white comes through in sections around the Nike Swoosh on either side of the foot. With a matching green outsole, a white rubber outsole includes small stitching details, and the sole itself features bright lime green with Nike Zoom technology. On the top of the tongue is a black and green Nike branding tag, and the Jordan Wings logo shows on the side of the ankle while high stretch black laces tie up the front.
