Fake Jordans will often have some shoelace tabs that are looser than others. Look for high quality stitching. Inspect the shoes carefully for neat and professional looking stitching. Everything should look evenly spaced, with no unfinished edges or frayed threads.

The Air Jordan 1 faced a backlash from the NBA after Jordan donned the black and red sneakers during a preseason game in 1984. The NBA sent a letter to Nike, stating “the red and black Nike basketball shoes...” violated league policy, incurring a $5,000 per game fine.

Worn in game 2 of Jordan's 1998 "Last Dance" season finals, this Air Jordan 13 might just be one of the most famous shoes in sporting history. Auctioned at Sotheby's this year, this pair fetched a whopping $2.2 million at auction, making them the most expensive pair or Air Jordans of all time.

Air Jordan is a line of basketball shoes produced by Nike, Inc. Related apparel and accessories are marketed under the Jordan Brand. The silhouette of Michael Jordan served as inspiration to create the "Jumpman" logo.
