Nike Air Jordan I released in 1985, Banned by the NBA for not meeting league dress-code regulations, and fined $5,000 per game (paid for by Nike), the Nike Air Jordan I was bold, black, and red with wings. In these Nike Air Jordan I shoes, a playoff record 63 points was scored against the Boston Celtics, the Rookie of the Year award was received as well as a starting position at the All-Star game, and the opening round of battles to come was foreshadowed at the Slam Dunk Contest.
