Designed by Peter Moore, Nike released the sneakers in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 I 08 Obama was considered a breakthrough in basketball shoe design, although its design was improved upon later with the Nike Dunk. The Air Jordan 1 Obama Edition initially gained a great deal of publicity and interest because its vibrant black and red color violated the league's uniform rules and when Michael was fined five thousand dollars every time he wore the shoes during a game. The Obama Jordan One to date has been the most retrod Air Jordan from the lines with the colorways being 90+.
