This is the box issued for the original Air Jordan XIX in 2004. It has a very unique design to it. When you open it, it actually splits in two where each sneaker has its own compartment. One side of the box is gray while the other side is black, and the top of it folds on the gray side to close it up. On the side of the grey box it says “Jordan” in a cursive font and the top of the black side has “XIX” cut into it with a little red Jumpman logo right above it.
It’s become a global phenomenon, the likes of which we may never see again. The perfect team assembled from the start: the alpha player in Michael Jordan, a corporate maverick savvy enough to leverage the young star in Phil Knight, and an architect-turned-designer in Tinker Hatfield eager to redefine the industry with his problem-solving approach to footwear. It was a time when the sun, moon and Mars aligned, and the dominance that Michael Jordan displayed nightly as a young Chicago Bull captured the imagination of adoring fans across the globe. Chicago soon began to beat, repeat and three-peat against the competition, twice, and the innovation making its way out of Beaverton was unparalleled across the footwear industry, marking both aesthetic and athletic firsts, as both the legendary Air Jordan shoe and Michael’s playing career itself reached mythical status.
