MEN'S NIKE AIR SHIP PE SP BASKETBALL / LIFESTYLE SHOE - "The Original Air Jordan" STYLE #: DX4976-107 SIZE: MEN'S 16 COLOR: WHITE-UNIVERSITY GOLD-WHITE CONDITION: NEW IN BOX The Nike Air Ship is a key part of the Air Jordan brand genesis. When Michael joined the NBA, the Air Jordan 1 was still not ready for him. He preferred sneakers that were lower to the ground, where he could feel the court beneath his feet. In the process of creating the Air Jordan 1, Nike supplied Jordan a limited number of Nike Air Ships – some of which had “Air Jordan” or “Nike Air” printed on the heels. This pair, featuring just “Air” is an unusual variation. The “Air Ship” – designed by Bruce Kilgore – was originally released in 1984, and was the first basketball shoe worn by Michael Jordan as an NBA professional.
