The most OG of all OG Air Jordans. That distinction belongs to the Air Jordan 1 ‘Bred.’ There’s no sneaker that better represents Michael Jordan’s early days in Chicago. They forecast the unprecedented greatness that was to come. It’s raw and unpolished, much like Jordan was back from 1985-86, but that’s what makes it so special. Let’s talk sneakers.

Is the Bred colorway the greatest in Air Jordan history? If you ask a Chicago native like me, a person who grew up watching MJ’s Bulls rule the NBA world, the answer is yes. It’s a Jordan sneaker the way it was always meant to be made. That said, I love several other colorways, but it seems almost disrespectful to put a non-Bulls colorway in the top spot.
