Air Jordan

The American company Nike, Inc. manufactures the Air Jordan brand of basketball shoes and sportswear. On April 1, 1985, the first Air Jordan sneaker was made for basketball legend and Hall of Famer Michael Jordan while he was playing for the Chicago Bulls in late 1984. Tinker Hatfield, Bruce Kilgore, and Peter Moore created the sneakers for Nike.

The University of Michigan's American football team's equipment is now exclusively provided by Air Jordan as of 2016. This was the brand's first foray into a different sport other than basketball. As of 2018, Air Jordan also supplied the football programs at the universities of North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Florida with equipment.

For the first time in its history, the Jordan brand sponsored an association football (soccer) team in 2018, when French club Paris Saint-Germain F.C. wore the Jumpman emblem on their third shirts during the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League season.
