3s, 4s, 5s, and 6s. 1s are always and for ever be the first, but 3s through 6s, all first original color ways, Nike Air on the back are really the ones that set the foundation for sneaker collection. But it will always be 1s - 14s all og color ways, especially for OG heads is the real standard.

If it weren't for 3's you wouldn't even have any other Jordans.

Almost didn't get the 3s back in the day too! Jordan was close to leaving Nike after the 2s flopped😪. I love the white cement 11 low ie w/Cobalt Jumpman.

The AJ3 moved the goal post forward, but the AJ4 moved it further for overall impact with innovative design idea and execution that was carried over a number of AJ's along the line. You can say the AJ4 completed the task in offering balance of form and function that the AJ3's was meant to achieve since it was already way behind schedule when Tinker Hatfield was put on board to come out with the AJ3. Personally I'd go for the AJ3's for comfort but the AJ4 has a number of very interesting design detail that gives it that extra Wow! factor, plus it's reasonably comfortable. ( a.AJ4, b.AJ3, c.AJ1, d.AJ11 )

For 11s it’s only 3 OG colorways and when i say OG i mean that the public had a chance to buy them Bred 11s Columbia 11s Concords Space jams were exclusively for Mike in 96 and cool greys first dropped in 01

4s for me but shifted to 1s because of longevity. I believe it’s worth every penny because it doesn’t crumble and I live in a tropical country. The 4s has a special place in my heart though.

@jeremymuir4332 Ай бұрын

I think the 3 is the definitive Air Jordan; I don't like them, don't wear them but that's where Jordan Brand really got going. The 1 is too much a Nike shoe even if it's my favourite to wear. The 4 hasn't got the wearability - looks good but I can't wear em for more than 3 hours. The 11 is a hard shoe to wear, certainly for myself and I don't think the 11 is anywhere near as revered if Jordan doesn't win 70 games and championship in them. Shoes for shoes, the 3 is the brand identity.... and Jordan's favourite.

@kelzya7797 Ай бұрын

i remember the first time i saw a 4 when i was younger and something about the netting on the side made it the coolest looking shoe for me personally. still to this day, i love the way the 4s look

@GVO003 Ай бұрын

I feel you but it’s a few of us sneaker lovers who rocked Jordan 1s for a long time. Since the mid 2000s. Just a few the black/max orange 1s, blue Sapphire 1s, Olympic 1s, hall of fame 1s. Fire kicks at that time. Then 2012 Chicago’s, 2013 Royal and Black toes. And so on…

13s were where everything changed to me. I’m a bit younger so I wasn’t really hip to how big the previous shoes were. BUT, the 13 is when I started seeing everyone wearing Jordan’s and where it became very established and apparent that Jordan was breaking away from Nike and truly solidifying itself as its own brand.

You gotta say black cement 3 because without that shoe, we wouldn’t have any other good silhouette from Jordan Brand in my personal opinion.
