Hands down, Air Jordan is the best logo ever created. Designers might not think so, but people bought $2.6 million worth of products last year just because of it. It's hard to beat that.



Incidentally, the logo is called "Jumpman", and it's actually based on Jordan doing a ballet grand jeté to make it look like a more prodigious jump than his usual style.

Swap 'logo' for 'brand' in that sentence and you'd be more on track. Without the personal brand of Jordan, the logo is moot.


Agreed. Air Jordans have consistently been popular and the Jumpman 23 Logo is iconic. I still remember being in elementary and marvelling at rich kid's Jordan (version 1) or just (1) high tops.

Jordan may be retired but his product line is thriving. It's a beast onto itself.

And yes, I know the shoes aren't necessarily inherently better than a cheap pair of sneakers but, hey, it's a cool shoe that can't be beat. I don't know how you quantify cool but those shoes are cool.
