Most AJ1s sport the Wings logo on the collar. But these aren’t most AJ1s. These were the prototype for the icon. Go all the way back to MJ’s first photoshoot. The playground. The photo. The kicks rocked over the shoulder. Notice anything different? Yeah, the collar has “Air Jordan” on it, not the Wings logo. And MJ signing all those autographs for the kids? He actually signed “My very best” along with his signature. That same message—in MJ’s handwriting—is featured on the collar of the left shoe. But you’re going to have to trust us. Unless you have a UV light. Then you can see it. But you’ll always know. And when you know, you know. A lot of thought went into the shoebox as well. Printed on the tissue paper are unfinished hand sketches by Peter Moore. THE Peter Moore. The guy that designed the shoe you’re reading about at this very moment. Now you can know what the early sketches of a logo that changed the game looked like. SKU: DZ5485-106
