Spike Lee
I am not quite sure why someone credited Spike Lee as the designer of the AJ1, but I, along an endless list of sources, are pretty sure that Peter Moore designed them. I changed this fact and the link referencing to it (which was not working anyway). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.238.202.136 (talk) 15:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Horrible
Air Jordans are probably some of the most popular shoes in history, and this article is completely unbecoming of their legacy. Horrible article; no pictures, ugly layout. Horrible.
I agree. The sections needs much more effort put into it. It needs some pictures first and foremost.
Someone definitely needs to edit for more encyclopedic language, at the very least explaining the "sneakerhead" slang (e.g. "retroed," "quick strike").Kuahmel (talk) 06:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
"Suffering from its 'white man jogging brand' image, Nike had no credit in the basketball world. The running shoe phenomenon that had fueled their sales in previous years was slowly dying, and they needed a way to revitalize and reinvent themselves in order to appeal to another segment of the market. That is when Nike saw something special in the rookie player Michael Jordan, they saw a chance, an opportunity." -- Seriously? This is some of the worst writing I've seen on Wikipedia, at least on an article of this length and importance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.228.192 (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
It seems that almost all of this article is taken, with some minor modifications to the language and some colorful opinions mixed in, from http://www.nicekicks.com/air-jordans/air-jordan-1/ . Whoever wants to should basically cut out the dumb additions and then cite that page.
Contribution help?
I notice I'm the only one contributing to this page, and I can only do so every now and then. The others that "contribute" only valdalize and delete my work from the page. Please refrain from doing so. --BkBlade 16:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Sky Jordans?
Weren't they originally called Sky Jordans? I swear I had a pair when I was a kid that said Sky Jordan on them rather than Air Jordan. quadratic 06:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
the kids sizes were sky jordans. mens sizes were air jordans.
or did you have Sky High Jordans? Sky High Air Jordans
Stolen
Google search for a portion of this article
This entire page is stolen from those sites.
why the change in format
this used to have pics of each shoe and stuff. i remember it being a much detailed article. frankly, it sucks ass now. why the change?--Jaysscholar 01:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Wow, what the heck
This article is really cheesey. It seems it was written by someone working for an ad company, an MJ fanboy, or someone who like shoes way too much. There are also a few spelling errors.
External links for Air Jordan Release Dates
I fixed a on Air Jordans link which was pointed towards http://www.techcomglobal.com which provided NO Air Jordan release Dates (and is a commercial site) and pointed the link to its original destination which was to NiceKicks.com's comprehensive list of Air Jordan Release Dates.
This link is not being added for commercial purposes but rather as supplimental information readers would be interested in. Since Air Jordan Release Dates change very frequently as well as the details (Product ID, Price, Date, and official pictures) it would be much more efficient for the information to be updated in one place with confirmed information.
Pictures
We should find pictures. Anyone have any good ones we can use? (Furiousgeorgey13 21:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC))
External links for Air Jordan Release Dates and Air Jordan Information
There is another website called http://www.sneakerfiles.com and has a very update Air Jordan Release Dates. I have seen it added, but taken down. I do not understand why this is, since its real information, I am not just promoting my site, All Air Jordan Release Dates are there. Check for yourself: http://www.sneakerfiles.com/air-jordan-release-dates
"extremely expensive and are collectors items"?

dubz
we needed more info on the dubz which when i first saw had on info on them .
Air Jordan XI
They were not inspired by Tuxedo Shoes. They were inspired by a car. The patent leather was meant to replicate the look of chrome.
This article needs some serious polishing.
From another article
I removed the following from Mars Blackmon, as it wasn't relevant to the subject:
It wasn't referenced, but, if true, you may want to use it in this article. 82.71.48.158 15:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
selling
where does one sell jordans online? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.226.188 (talk) 23:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
List might be too exhaustive
If one is gonna do a comprehensive description of each model, maybe a page for each should be considered? If not, it should definitely be shortened. Right now, this entry reads like a Wikipedia page for a car.Kuahmel (talk) 02:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Jordan Brand: Change to or Separate?
While this article largely covers the Air Jordan line of shoes, there is a lot of Jordan Brand related information. Either this article should be retitled Jordan Brand, or a separate article should be created for the Jordan Brand. Any thoughts? heat_fan1 (talk) 13:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Well the majority of the article still seems to be dealing with the shoes. But you could always file a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves and see what people will say. -- œ ™ 21:
