We could say many things about the Air Jordan shoes, many of which have probably heard before.We could talk about their mystique: how they began the culture of the shoes as we know it today;how they irrevocably altered the world of sport, fashion and marketing;How no other line of signatures has matched its exact formula of technical innovation and its beautiful cultural design and prominence ...

We could talk about the little things, such as the irrational confidence one feels when binding them on the track;how well Frank Ocean had left in the Royal 1s of Paris Fashion Week;The intoxicating that is the smell of a pair fresh out of the box ...

Instead, we are going to say something, maybe it sounds a bit obvious: like all deliveries of big names (films franchises, Philip Roth novels or Tyler's discs, The Creator), there are successes, failures and a lot of inexplicable events betweensocks.That means that all these releases can be ordered in a ranking (both arbitrary and definitive).

Taking advantage of The Last Dance's premiere, Netflix and ESPN documentary series about Michael Jordan's best fear in the Chicago Bulls, we take the opportunity to reevaluate the 34 Air Jordan shoes that have come to the market.The best, the worst, the most successful and, above all, the craziest (there are a few).We do this ranking based on its appearance, its performance on the track and its footprint pop culture, mixing everything with a dose of personal nostalgia.
