What to know about Air Jordan
Retros drive the catalogue
Most of what you see are re-releases of the Jordan 1, 3, 4 and 11, alongside current performance basketball shoes and Jumpman fleece and apparel.
Collaborations set the resale price
Partner releases with Travis Scott, Union LA, A Ma Maniere and Off-White sell out fast and trade well above the retail price the general line sits at.
A Nike division, not a startup
Built around Michael Jordan's 1984 Nike signing and spun into its own subsidiary in 1997, it still funds signature shoes for NBA and WNBA players.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sneakers | true to size | medium width with a somewhat narrow toe box on models like the AJ1 and AJ4 | Go true to size for most; wide-footers may consider a half size up on the AJ1 and AJ4, and expect some stiffness break-in on the AJ1 High. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed | Size down for a trimmer fit as Jumpman fleece tends to run roomy and relaxed. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | regular to slightly relaxed | Buy your usual size, sizing down only if you want a slimmer look. |
