Since its first pair Nike has launched many versions to date. There are over 12 versions. There are also other styles. The first version was in Red and Black colors and it was the first of its kind for Jordan I. There has been a lot of misconception that the first version of Air Jordan was banned in fact it was Nike Air Ship that was banned. Air Jordan introduced more colors but having more white. These color combinations came to be  known as ‘Chicago’ colors, and ‘Black Toe’ colors.

The banning was to stop Nike having more competitiveness and that those who wore them were associated with unlawful activities. The design was recreated by adding blue accents, black overlays, and Fragment insignia. The Air Jordan I was released in 1994 and is also known as retro. Other retro were released in 2001-4 and 2007-2018.
