Designed by Peter Moore, Nike released the sneakers in 1985, the Air Jordan I pair of sneakers was considered a breakthrough in basketball shoe design,[1] although its design was improved upon later with the Nike Dunk. The shoe initially gained a great deal of publicity and interest because its vibrant black and red color violated the league’s uniform rules and because Michael was fined five thousand dollars every time he wore the shoes during a game. The Air Jordan IV shoe was first released in 1989, designed once again by Tinker Hatfield. It became the first Jordan shoe released on the global market, with some exceptions. The Air Jordan IV cushioning sole and design helped to make the shoe an international bestseller.
