Celebrate Michael Jordan's Birthday with New Air Jordans

Michael Jordan turns 60th today and Nike is selling numerous classic Air Jordan sneakers.

The greatest basketball player to ever walk the earth has hit a major milestone. Many of us find it difficult to believe, but Michael Jordan turns 60 years old today. In addition to his legendary NBA career, Jordan also has a claim to the best sneaker line in history.

Jordan signed with Nike in 1984 and launched Jordan Brand in 1997. Throughout his entire career with the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, and even the Birmingham Barons, Jordan's popularity never fell off.

Now two decades removed from his playing days, Jordan spends his time overseeing the Charlotte Hornets. Meanwhile, Nike manages the legendary Air Jordan footwear and apparel line. Below are three types of sneakers every fan of the GOAT must own.

Many fans obsessively collect every pair of retro Air Jordan sneakers they can get their hands on. However, for more casual sneakerheads, having at least one pair of Air Jordans in their footwear rotation has been a staple for many decades.

Currently, several of Jordan's most iconic retro basketball shoes are available at or below the retail price on Nike's website. Thanks to the unmistakable silhouettes and premium materials, Air Jordan sneakers are perfect for almost any occasion.

Most people identify Air Jordan sneakers with the classics, but the signature line is still going strong. Within the past year, Jordan Brand has released the Air Jordan 37 and Air Jordan 37 Low.

Additionally, there are three NBA players with signature Jordan Brand sneakers (and Jayson Tatum will soon be the fourth representative). Whether you're a fan of Zion Williamson's powerful dunks, Russell Westbrook's hustle, or Luka Doncic's step-back, there are plenty of Jordan Brand performance models for you on Nike's website.

Golf Shoes

There is no better way to make a statement on the greens than wearing a pair of Air Jordan golf shoes. Speaking from personal experience, stepping on the golf course while sporting the Jumpman logo makes you feel like a different player.

There are two Jordan Brand golf shoes to choose from on Nike's website. The Air Jordan 1 Low is ideal for fans of the iconic model, while the Jordan ADG 4 offers a more subtle look when sinking clutch shots.
