A Rare Look at the Original “Wingless” Air Jordan 1

A Rare Look at the Original “Wingless” Air Jordan 1

Air Jordan 1 Black Toe Prototype 0

One of the many rare little tidbits of history about the Air Jordan 1, there was at one point a version of the shoe created without the iconic “Wings” logo on the ankle. Look closely at those famous product shots of a young Michael Jordan with his “Black Toe” Air Jordan 1s over his shoulder, and you’ll notice the sans Wings shoe in question. We know it exists, but from there the history gets cloudy. Was this just an early prototype of the Air Jordan 1 before the wings logo was created? Is this pair from the photo of MJ the only pair in existence? Were all pairs of the “Black Toe” colorway initially supposed to be like that? As you can see, there are a lot of questions about the wingless Air Jordan 1. And now another chapter is added to its mystery, as an autographed pair—the only pair?—surfaces from a collector who shared them via Twitter. Feast your eyes on one of the rarest Air Jordan 1s ever.
