Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple: A Must-Have Sneaker for Sneakerheads
As sneakerheads around the world already know, Air Jordan sneakers have been a staple in the sneaker industry since their release in the 1980s. The Air Jordan 1, in particular, has been a fan favorite for over 35 years, and it’s no surprise that the brand has released countless variations of the shoe over the years. One such variation that has gained immense popularity among sneaker enthusiasts is the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple. In this article, we will dive into the history of the Air Jordan 1 and explore the design and features of the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple, and why it has become a must-have for sneaker collectors and enthusiasts alike.
History of the Air Jordan 1
Before we delve into the details of the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple, it’s essential to understand the history behind the iconic sneaker. In 1984, Nike released the Air Jordan 1 in collaboration with the legendary basketball player, Michael Jordan. The shoe was designed by Peter Moore and was unlike any other sneaker in the market at the time. It was the first sneaker to feature the iconic Nike “Swoosh” logo and was released in several colorways that were not seen in the sneaker industry before.
The Air Jordan 1 quickly gained popularity, but it also faced controversy. The NBA banned the shoe due to its non-conforming colors, and Michael Jordan faced a fine every time he wore them on the court. Despite this setback, the Air Jordan 1 continued to gain popularity, and Nike released several more colorways throughout the 80s and 90s.
Design and Features of the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple
The Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple was released in December 2017 as part of the Gatorade x Air Jordan collaboration. The collaboration paid homage to the famous “Be Like Mike” Gatorade commercial from 1991, which featured Michael Jordan. The commercial featured Jordan wearing a purple Gatorade sweatshirt, and this served as the inspiration behind the colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple.
The sneaker features a full-grain leather upper in purple with the iconic Nike “Swoosh” in orange. The shoe also features Gatorade branding on the tongue and insole, paying homage to the collaboration. The midsole is white, while the outsole is orange, completing the color scheme of the shoe.
Apart from the unique colorway, the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple also boasts several features that make it a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts. The shoe features Nike Air cushioning in the heel, providing comfort and support for the wearer. The high-top design of the shoe also adds to its appeal, providing ankle support and stability.
Why the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple is a Must-Have for Sneakerheads
The Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple has become a must-have for sneaker collectors and enthusiasts for several reasons. Firstly, the unique colorway of the shoe sets it apart from other Air Jordan 1 colorways. The purple and orange combination is eye-catching and makes a bold statement.
Secondly, the collaboration between Gatorade and Air Jordan pays homage to two iconic brands in their respective industries. The shoe not only represents the history of the Air Jordan 1 but also the history of Gatorade, which has been the go-to sports drink for athletes for decades.
Lastly, the Air Jordan 1 Gatorade Purple is a limited-edition shoe, which adds to its allure.

Do you provide tracking information?
Yes, you will receive an email once your order ships that contains your tracking information. If you haven’t received tracking info within 5 days, please contact us.
My tracking says “no information available at the moment”.
Sometimes customers get concerned because their tracking status has not been updated for 5 – 10 days since it said it was leaving customs, or processed in a parcel center.
This is perfectly normal, it means your item is now on board a shipping transport. Our couriers don’t update the tracking status once the package is on board a transport ship (because there is not really much to update).
The tracking will only be updated when USPS picks up the parcel from the ship to deliver it to you locally in the US. This can take 2 – 5- days.
If it hasn’t updated, it just means it is still on the ship on its way to you. It will get there, our NON-Express delivery service might take a few days, but delivers our parcels with great consistency.
If you are still concerned with your order, send us an email and we will be happy to take a look and give you a detailed status update.
Will my items be sent in one package?
For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages, even if you’ve specified combined shipping.
What about special holidays such as Christmas?
Due to a high volume of orders placed during the holiday season (especially Christmas), shipping times are usually longer than usual. Orders that are placed on or after December 1st will NOT be delivered by Christmas (December 25th). Please keep this in mind as you order your products from our store.
NOTE: Shipping times may take slightly longer during peak times (Christmas, End of year). Thank you again for being patient with us!
