Jordan 1 Retro High Shadow
The OG Shadow is one of the best Air Jordans of all time, and it has only been available to the public three times in the brand’s 30-year history. The shoes have a leather upper in black and grey, and the original “Nike Air” branding can be found on the tongue tags and the insoles.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Shattered Backboard
This Air Jordan 1 “shattered backboard” is one of the most sought-after colorways because it was inspired by Michael Jordan’s orange and black jersey from the exhibition game in Italy in 1986, in which he famously broke a backboard. You’ll need more than $2,000 AUD for a deadstock pair.
Year: 2015
Animal hides are used for the upper.
Color Scheme: Black/White Starfish Vanilla
Jordan New Beginnings Pack Retro High 1 & Nike Air Ship
The New Beginnings pack is the pinnacle of authentic retro Air Jordans, paying homage to the groundbreaking Air Ship design that earned His Airness early criticism. A white and red Air Jordan 1 High, similar to the 1984 white/red Air Ship PE, was included in this set, along with an authentic looking hangtag from the original release. Our pick for the best sneaker to wear to a convention because it will spark plenty of conversation.
Year: 2020
Both the shirt and the shorts are white with red trim.
Jordan Retro 4 Black Cat
This variation on the classic Air Jordan 4 comes in a black and light graphite colour scheme, evoking Michael Jordan’s infamous “Black Cat” moniker. This theme is developed further in Jordan 13. The upper is completely black, with only the Jumpman Flight tongue tags revealing any grey. In case you were wondering, this is Joe La Puma, host of the show Sneaker Shopping, favourite Jordan of all time.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Royal
The Royal Blue Jordans are legendary in basketball lore because they are Mike’s favourite colorway of the Jordan brand. Though Michael Jordan never actually played in this throwback colorway, the photograph of him wearing the shoes by Chuck Kohn in 1985 became an instant classic. There have been three more releases of these blue Jordans since 1985, solidifying their place as one of the most iconic pairs of Air Jordans.
A total of four decades’ worth of releases: 1985, 2001, 2013, and 2017

Style: Black/Varsity Royal/White
