Air Jordan(s), or simply Jordans are a brand of shoes produced by Nike originally designed for and endorsed by professional NBA basketball player Michael Jordan. The Air Jordan line is now sold by Jordan Brand, a sub-division of Nike. Since its first release in 1984, there have been new designs of the shoe released each year, even after Jordan retired from basketball.

Collectors classify the Air Jordan line by release year and model: Originals (OG), Retros, Retro-pluses (Retro +), Player Exclusive (PE) and Samples. The Jordan Brand also produces a line of Team shoes, separate from the signature line of Air Jordan shoes. The Jordan Brand has periodically reintroduced signature shoes that were previously released.

Air Jordans are sold mostly online, but can be bought at boutiques and sneaker retailers such as FootLocker, Finish Line, Footaction, Champs, Eastbay, and for rarer Jordans, Alife and Flight Club.
