Nike basketball shoes

It was in the eighties when Nike Company came out with some new and innovative shoe designs created for the sports that have always been a major supporter of Nike. During such period, Nike also made a major headline by negotiating a contract with basketball superstar Michael Jordan, a contract that would turn out to be the start of a long and enduring relationship between the two.

The next two decades saw Nike carrying out a line of Air Jordan shoes of different models and styles, even after Michael's retirement from the National Basketball Association.

   
The Uniqueness of Nike Basketball Shoes

The two important features that set the Nike basketball shoes apart from other brands are in the shoe designs and the quality of the shoes itself. Basketball involves vigorous and complicated moves such as jumping, running, blocking, side movements, and shooting.

This also puts so much wear and tear on the shoes. Nike basketball shoes helps prevent injuries on the player's lower body by allowing quick moves and ease of body weight transfer. Nike shoes are designed to take in all the extreme force and pressure brought about by the player's moves.

The most important feature of the Nike basketball shoes is the Nike Air technology. Such technology created a design that allows extra air to the shoe sole, which means better and more convenient cushion for the feet. All Nike Air Jordan basketball shoes had air cushioning technology, especially in the later lines.

The technology works with pump installed on the shoe tongue. Pressing the pump will alter the firmness of the fit of the Nike shoes, with the degree of firmness depending on the user's preference and required comfort.

The Nike Air Jordan Basketball Shoes

The earliest Nike Air Jordan basketball shoes were released amidst much fanfare and even controversy in 1985. The original Air Jordan model carried the winged basketball print that became popularly known as one of Air Jordan's two brand logos. The winged basketball is found on the first three models of the Air Jordan shoes, either on the ankle part or on the shoe tongue.

The fourth version of the Air Jordan in 1987 had the logo of a basketball player on the position of going for a slam dunk called the jumpman. Such logo is found on sides, sole or tongue of the shoes, depending on the model of Air Jordan. Most upscale and top shops sell the Air Jordan shoes at prices ranging from $100 to about $400.
