In honour of Jordan’s four-decade milestone this year (2025), we decided to put together a list of the best Jordans of all time. Let us know which other sneakers belong on this list in the comments below.
Air Jordan 1 “Bred”
This is the sneaker that started it all. Sure, the lore surrounding it may not all be true, but these black and red Jordan 1s are still the most important sneakers of all time.
Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”
The Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” has that classic red, white, and black design that most of us associate with Mike’s early days with the Chicago Bulls. No matter which form the sneaker comes in (deconstructed, low-top, or reimagined), sneakerheads want them all.
Air Jordan 3 “Black Cement”
The Air Jordan 3 is widely regarded as the best Jordan silhouette, and what better colourways to prove this point than the “Black Cement” and “White Cement” styles?
Air Jordan 3 “White Cement”
The Air Jordan 3 is widely regarded as the best Jordan silhouette, and what better colourways to prove this point than the “Black Cement” and “White Cement” styles?
Air Jordan 4 “Bred”
Even after four re-releases and being reimagined through different colourways and collaborations, these black, red, and grey Jordan 4s never go out of style. Hands down one of the best Jordans of all time.
Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic”
The Air Jordan 5 “Black Metallic” sneaker strikes a perfect balance between flash and subtlety. It has a stealthy black nubuck upper highlighted by silver reflective tongues and shark tooth detailing. You’ll often find this beauty on the list of best Jordan 5 colourways, but it’s also one of the best Jordans of all time.
Air Jordan 5 “Grape”
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air may have made this the must-have shoe of the ’90s, but the white, grape, and emerald green colourway has lived on as a fan favourite long after its on-screen debut.
Air Jordan 6 “Black Infrared”
Another black and red championship-winning shoe that sneakerheads love is the Jordan 6 “Black Infrared.” This is the sneaker MJ wore when he won his first NBA title. The nubuck upper makes these look extra plush.
Air Jordan 11 “Concord”
Michael Jordan couldn’t wait to unveil these white and black Jordan 11s in 1995, and it’s easy to see why. The colourway is one of the best in the model’s lineup, if not the best overall in the Jordan collection.
Air Jordan 11 “Bred”
The Jordan 11 “Bred” will long be associated with Michael Jordan’s 1996 NBA Finals. Not only was it the shoe Mike wore during that epic championship win, but the glossy black patent leather and flashes of red ensured the GOAT looked good while securing it.
