The Air Jordan legacy is inarguably one of the most influential footwear lines in the world. And let’s not get into apparel and more. However, one element gets easily overlooked, not by hardcore collectors though! You see, real sneakerheads know that every Jordan shoe box has value in itself. You can simply upcycle the basic release shoe boxes, very easy. But today, we’ll check out the coolest shoe boxes throughout the years! In the meantime, you can keep an eye on all the hottest and latest releases on our blog.
We totally want to cop just to have more shoe boxes, really. Just kidding, we’re not going it for that reason, but a sick Jordan shoe box is a great addition to your collection. Especially if it’s an exclusive release that comes with cool knick-knacks. But these boxes are usually pretty exclusive and hard to score on Nike SNKRS and retailer sites. Which is why you’ll need a great sneaker bot to get them, you feel us?
Don’t worry though, we have a list of the best sneaker bots ready for you right here! And if you wanna cut to the chase, NSB is right here for you. From Nike to Supreme and everything in between, NSB covers it all with the latest updates. But if you’re new to the whole thing, don’t sweat it. We got your back every step of the way, from wondering what botting is to how to reach the perfect setup!
So before Jordan Brand became a wholly independent entity under the Nike umbrella, it was a humble endorsement. Well, as humble as the most popular collab of the 80s could be. Anyway, the box of the OG Jordan 1 was the simple classic Nike box. PS – That’s the box we got when the Jordan 1 Lost and Found dropped!
Well, not really dark because the boxes were pretty cool. With Air Jordan 3, we got the Jumpman logo, and that meant that the shoe box would have them. But let’s not forget that this is the era in which we also got the cement pattern! So of course, Jordan Brand translated that novelty into the boxes. The end result? Pretty similar boxes for all the silhouettes from Jordan 3 through Jordan 7, not that we’re complaining.
After the AJ7, Jordan Brand really kept it simple with the Jordan shoe box. You see, sometimes simplicity is the best solution! The box stayed plain with a mix of grey, black, and the signature logo. Although they’re not too special, they’re still OGs and we love them all the same.
Let’s start with Jordan 11 and 12. These two spiced things up with red lids and the signature Jumpman logo. Although it’s very nice, we never saw this type of shoebox again. So if you’re a broad owner of OGs, hold on to them dearly!
It seems like Jordan Brand felt the need to spice it up a bit and not only with the shoes. It kinda worked, because Jordan 16’s box started breaking the monotony. And what’s better than MJ’s own face on the lid to convince us?
We’re not gonna say much here because we’re gonna let the images speak! However, we’ve got a few notes. So Jordan XX1’s box was pretty bulky, and we don’t blame you if you didn’t keep it. Jordan XX2 looked like a time capsule you’d bury and unearth after 50 years. And Jordan XX3 gave a leatherish vibe with the lid pattern.
These kicks were really ahead of their time with their adjustable insoles depending on your type of gameplay. And of course, the Jordan shoe box lived up to our expectations! They featured multi-tier constructions to include the soles.
Back at it with the Roman numerals! Well, we did love how fancy they looked, why lie? Anyway, Jordan XX8 came in a box that looked like a laptop case more than an actual shoe box. And finally, Jordan XX9 spiced it up with a red and black shoe box. That kinda was the first time we got a red and black mix since the Jordan 15!
