Michael Jordan’s First Appearance On David Letterman Inspired This Air Jordan 1 Release

Jordan 1 Letterman Release 1

Michael Jordan made an appearance on David Letterman three decades ago to talk about his new shoes – the Air Jordan 1. Little did we know that MJ would make countless appearances on prime-time talk-shows over the course of his career, but somehow this Letterman interview stands out the most. Perhaps it’s the red/navy jumpsuit that Jordan chose to wore? Jordan Brand is spinning this memorable moment in MJ pop-culture into a sneaker release – specifically the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG with hits of the bright red, dark navy, and light blue on the tongue label of the shoe. Check out these latest photos courtesy of SoleFly owner Carlos Prieto and stay tuned for the official release on April 30th.
