There are Air Jordans available on the for male and female basketball players

As we know, a lot of basketball player choose the Jordan shoes as the basketball shoes, as in their eyes, the Jordan shoes bring a great performance to them. Many basketball players actually wear these sneakers for performance, as opposed to wearing them for the purpose of being fashionable.

In the year 1985 Peter Moore and Nike came up with a brand of shoes for the all time great NBA player Michael Jordan which revolutionized the NBA accessories' world. Since then Nike is producing Jordan shoe every year under the Jordan Brand as Air Jordans. Until now there has been twenty five series of Air Jordans starting from Air Jordan I to Air Jordan 2009(XXV).

Is the this shoe for everybody? Of course not. But what shoe is? Gamma Blue 11s purists have condemned all Jordan hybrids including the 6 Rings, as an abomination and disgrace to the Air Jordan line and the man himself. Many of these purists only consider Jordan "Retros", original models of the shoe, to be the only true Jordan's. Hybrids to these folks are garbage. To each his own I guess. But I still don't understand such a strong distaste for a high performance, good-looking shoe. If one were to only consider what the shoe represents, that alone would put it head and shoulders above many of the other Retro Jordan shoes for basketball that are released.

When it comes to spotting fake Air Jordans, it is important to do your research. Lebron James Shoes has released several versions of the shoe, and each version is unique. Color, material, details like stripes or the placement of the Nike “swoosh” should all be examined carefully. For example, Nike has released versions of the Air Jordan that were purple. The Air Jordan XXIII, however, is not manufactured in purple. It only comes in black, white and varsity red. So if you see a shoe that is advertised as an Air Jordan XXIII, but is any other color than black, white or red, you are looking at a fake. It is important to do your research carefully online using legitimate sites (like Nike.com) so that you know exactly what you are looking for. Compare the shoes you want to buy to a picture of the real deal.

Probably the most successful Jordan hybrid thus far, the Air Jordan Spizike sees two additional colorways this season, including a black/varsity red stealth and a black/new blue-white-infrared design. The Air Jordan Spiz'ike upper is composed of predominately black patent leather. This comes obvious on the toe box through the lace panel and tongue while textured mudguard and heel add some detailing.
