# Strictly Business Sneakers Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Silver Honors 25 Years of Jordan Shoes By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-air-jordan-1-retro-silver References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/12/24/nike-air-jordan-1-retro-silver-25th-anniversary-package/) & [oqium.nl](http://www.oqium.nl/) The Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Silver sneaker epitomizes the Jordan legacy. Flashy exterior, but all business at the end of the day, the metallic silver sneaker is part of the collection which commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Air Jordan shoe as well as the greatest basketball player in history. On a more sobering note, I can’t even put into words how old these shoes are making me feel right now.
