Worst Air Jordan Colorways

The Air Jordan line is over 30 models deep, with countless colorways releasing (and re-releasing) since its debut in 1985. But let’s be honest, not every single one of them has been a hit. While the originals tend to be safe looks for the brand, as it's branched out to lifestyle flavors and reached further into storytelling around Michael Jordan, there has been a fair share of misses. 

We've gone through the history of Air Jordans to pick the worst version of each of model in the line. It's important to note that some of these shoes aren’t necessarily bad, but were chosen simply because certain models have remained relatively untarnished. You can think of those as "least good." But in other instances, they are truly worth their "worst" status. See our picks below.
