Which designer created the Nike Air Jordan 1, first released in 1985?

Peter Moore designed the Nike Air Jordan 1, which was first released in 1985.

Moore created the shoe’s original high-top basketball silhouette and its distinctive winged basketball logo. Nike introduced the model for Michael Jordan, whose early NBA career helped make it a major cultural product beyond basketball.

The Air Jordan 1 later became central to sneaker collecting and streetwear. Its colorways, especially the black-and-red versions associated with Jordan, helped establish the idea that basketball shoes could function as everyday fashion.

Tinker Hatfield is often named in connection with Air Jordan history, but he designed later models, beginning with the Air Jordan 3 rather than the original Air Jordan 1.
