Michael Jordan was a game-changer in the NBA and his transformative nature extended to the world of sneakers, incurring the wrath of the league and plenty of fines.
Jordan soon became a star name in the NBA after being taken third overall by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, signing a huge endorsement deal with Nike that included a signature shoe line that was released in the same year.
But his debut sneaker, the Air Jordan 1, upset NBA bosses as the red and black and red and white designs violated the league's uniform policy, which required shoes to be at least 51 per cent white or white and in accordance with the rest of the team's uniform.
