Introduced in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 forever changed the sneaker landscape with its innovative design, bold colorways, and instant cultural impact. Beyond redefining basketball footwear, the AJ1 quickly transcended the court, influencing fashion, music, and street culture, and cementing its place as a global symbol of style and athletic achievement.

Among the most collectible variations, the "Metallic" series was released in six colorways-blue, red, orange, black, purple, and green. Each featured a clean white leather upper accented with shimmering metallic detailing along the collar and Nike Swoosh, a striking contrast that has made these editions highly sought after by collectors.

This particular pair carries even greater significance, with the right medial shoe bearing a blue ballpoint inscription from Michael Jordan reading "My / Very Best / To Wes / Michael Jordan." This personal note makes the pair especially meaningful, offering a direct connection to Jordan himself.
