Air Jordan 11 XI Kids Shoes was worn during the 1996 regular season; the same season where the Bulls accomplished a record breaking 72 wins, and only lost 3 games en route to the beginning of their second three-peat. Faux lizard, carbon shank plate, gold plated steel lace loops. Peter Moore had the honor of designing the first
Nike Air Jordan I. Banned by the NBA for not meeting league dress-code regulations, and fined $5,000 per game (paid for by Nike), the
Nike Air Jordan I was bold, black, and red with wings. In these Nike
Air Jordan I shoes, a playoff record 63 points was scored against the Boston Celtics, the Rookie of the Year award was received as well as a starting position at the All-Star game, and the opening round of battles to come was foreshadowed at the Slam Dunk Contest. Most notable, a legend was born. Not just
Air Jordan himself, but the shoes on his feet as well.
