The First Air Jordan Sneaker — Concept Breakdown (1984–85)
The First Air Jordan Sneaker — Concept Breakdown (1984–85) is a museum-style conceptual illustration documenting the birth of one of the most influential sneaker designs in history.
Presented as an archival engineering sketch, the artwork explores the early construction philosophy behind the original Air Jordan — from leather paneling and stitching techniques to sole layering and air-cushion concepts.
Drawn in a hand-rendered industrial notebook style, the illustration features exploded views, material callouts, abstract measurements, and design annotations that evoke the creative process of 1980s athletic footwear innovation.
Rather than serving as a technical blueprint, this piece functions as design history artwork — capturing the moment when basketball, fashion, and engineering converged into a global cultural icon.
Printed on aged drafting-paper texture with subtle grid lines and worn edges, the piece feels timeless, intellectual, and archival.
Perfect for sneaker collectors, designers, studios, and modern interiors.
