Nike golf brings Air Jordan i retro high to the links

More than 30 years after the debut of the #airjordan I, #nike #golf is introducing the iconic silhouette to the course.
“MJ introduced his provocative style of play to professional basketball in 1984, and the #airjordan I shocked the world at the same time,” says Gentry Humphrey, VP #nike #golf Footwear. “Interestingly, Michael started to take up the game of #golf in 1984, the exact same year #nike started to develop the #airjordan I.”
Entering Jordan’s rookie year, #nike looked for a way to create a shoe that could match his other-worldly talents on the court while also defying the status quo.
“The #airjordan I was the first sneaker that really pushed the limits on what was acceptable,” recalls Michael Jordan. “It’s like being a young kid, when his parents say he can’t do something but he wants to do it. I felt like I wanted to be different.”
This limited offering features a few notable changes from the original basketball shoe, including extra padding to provide additional comfort and support around the ankle, Jumpman logo on the tongue, #nike Free-inspired outsole with soft spikes and a fully waterproof upper.
The #airjordan I #golf shoe will be available in two colorways (white/black/varsity red and white/metallic silver) beginning Feb. 10 at #nike.com and select retailers for a suggested retail price of $200.
