Michael Jordan was signed by Nike before he entered the NBA as a highly prospected rookie. Nike offered to create a signature shoe for Michael Jordan named after him. This was the first signature Basketball shoe for Nike and the most significant in the company's history.
The first Air Jordan shoe was released in 1985.
Jordan Brand was started in 1996. The first Air Jordans that were released in the newly formed franchise were the Air Jordan XIIs.
Only the classic that started it all... Nike Air Jordan 1.
