Few sportswear franchises can match the legacy of the Air Jordan line. But with Jordan Brand pushing out new releases almost weekly, true heritage can sometimes get overshadowed.

The Air Jordan 1 "Love Letter" is a reminder of where it all began, celebrating the silhouette that changed sneaker culture and the game that made it possible.

When Michael Jordan retired for the final time, he signed off with "Much love and respect", that motif returns to the world of the Air Jordan with this nod to their shared heritage and respect for the impact of two titans of the basketball world.

An icon of both streetwear and basketball, the AJ1 has spanned thirty years of culture. Expanding beyond the seminal nineties moments, it has re-introduced countless generations to the iconic baller.
