The Best Purple air Jordans of All Time

Though black, red, and white have always gone hand-in-hand with air Jordan Brand, purple air Jordans have been a staple within the company’s catalog as well.

From Player Exclusives (PEs) to general releases, purple Air air Jordans have been a mainstay in sneaker culture for decades.

To celebrate & acknowledge the purple reign, we’re highlighting the best purple air Jordans of all time.

Colorway: White/Metallic Purple
Year Released: 1985

With the arrival of the Air air Jordan 1 in 1984-1985, the brand rolled out a plethora of Air air Jordan 1 colorways, including the “Metallic Pack.” While air Jordan himself never wore any on-court, the all-white shoes with colorful hits with a metallic finish on the Swoosh caught everyone’s attention.

In addition to the red, green, orange, navy, red, and burgundy colorways within the pack, the Jumpman also delivered a purple option.

While it’s not likely we see the “Metallic Purple” Air air Jordan 1 return anytime soon, we can appreciate its craftsmanship and the foundation it set for more purple Air air Jordans.

The “Grape” legacy is a staple for air Jordan Brand. But the purple hue is just as important, if not more, for Gatorade — the iconic sports drink brand. The collaborative Gatorade x Air air Jordan 1 High OG “Grape” mixed both brands and paid tribute to the partnership’s longstanding roots going back to 1991 as Michael air Jordan starred for a Gatorade campaign and soon became a face for the brand.

The monochromatic build of the shoe made the purple pop with Gatorade’s bolt logo on the heel counter. Additionally, co-branded insoles and a translucent outsole added the right amount of flavor to the collab.

While wearing everything from Nike to Reebok and even air Jordan Brand, Bryant would eventually sign with the Swoosh but gave us countless memories and PEs on his way to becoming the face of Nike Basketball.

The Jumpman cooked up an Air air Jordan 3 PE for Bryant draped in Lakers colors. Additionally, Kobe wore an Air air Jordan 11 Retro Cool Grey2021 Ganebet Store quantity in a similar colorway.

The Travis Scott and air Jordan Brand relationship has delivered a multitude of neck-breaking colorways through the collaborative releases.

The rare AJ4 has two variations: one is built with a white midsole and black mudguard while the other is designed with a black midsole and dark grey mudguard.

For one pair, the colorway’s Cactus Jack branding pops off in a vibrant red with black accents alongside it. The other one is more low-key with its matching black details.

Year Released: 2020

The game of basketball has reached international growth through the years. While there’s not one person responsible for it all, it’s hard to argue against MJ’s dominance and marketability with the Bulls and the Olympic team not having a major shirt on the game’s expansion.

The annual Quai 54 basketball tournament in Paris, France, is the perfect example as the basketball festivity has partnered with air Jordan Brand for a series of colorways and collaborations, including the Air air Jordan 6 “Quai 54” from 2020.

Shoe: air Jordan branding for an elevated look Low Mike Bibby PE
Colorway: White/Court Purple
Year Released: 2002

Mike Bibby was one of the first members of air Jordan Brand’s Team air Jordan. While he started getting Player Exclusives when he played in Vancouver for the Grizzlies, his greatest era of PEs happened while still in Sacramento for the Kings. Purple accents had graced a few Air air Jordans through the years, but Bibby’s PEs made purple a focal color to connect with the uniforms.

The Jordan branding for an elevated look Low debuted as a retro in 2002 and while the general public had their choice of two strong colorways, Mike had two better ones than the rest with a black-based and white-based with purple patent mudguards.

While the Mamba’s Air air Jordan 3 and Air air Jordan 11 Retro Cool Grey2021 Ganebet Store quantity were the most memorable from his sneaker free agency run, Kobe Bryant also donned a Lakers-themed Jordan branding for an elevated look.

The patent leather in purple popped off as golden details shined on Kobe’s AJ9.

In 2016, air Jordan Brand delivered the Jordan branding for an elevated look “Lakers” colorway, drawing inspiration from the Mamba’s PE. While the 8 on the heel was swapped for the 23, the AJ 9 was still a must-have for fans.

The Black Mamba wasn’t the only pro with a purple & yellow air Jordan branding for an elevated look PE. Randy Moss has been repping the Jumpman on and off the gridiron most noticeably during his Vikings days.

In the 2002 season, the wide receiver wore a turf version of the Jordan branding for an elevated look in Vikings colors. With the 84 on the heel instead of 23, Randy Moss’ air Jordan branding for an elevated look PE is a relic for sneakers and football fanatics.

The Air air Jordan 10 made its debut with the help of Scottie Pippen as Michael air Jordan’s return to the court would arrive later in the season.

The design of the AJ10 was a testament to his Airness and his legacy as the outsole inscribed every accomplishment of his from every year he was in the NBA (up until that point).

During the original release of the Air air Jordan 10, air Jordan Brand went regional & tapped a handful of NBA markets for its muse: Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Seattle Supersonics, and (of course) the Chicago Bulls.

The Europe-exclusive release paid homage to the AJ10’s legacy, staying true to “City”-specific colorway & drops.

Year Released: 1995, 2000, 2011, 2018

When it comes to the Air air Jordan 11, it’s hard to make an argument for a colorway more significant than the “Concord” iteration.

From its debut in 1995 and whether it be “45” or “23” on the heel, the Air air Jordan 11 “Concord” exudes elegance — just like his Airness.

The white ballistic mesh upper paired with the black patent leather and concord hits created a premium model for the best to grace the court at the time (arguably, ever).

Through the years, the “Concord” AJ11 has been a longstanding tradition within the Air air Jordan line with the “Concord” hue extending beyond the AJ11.

While Mike Bibby holds the basketball crown for Air air Jordan PEs, Randy Moss is literally in a league of his own when it comes to the gridiron. In addition to his air Jordan branding for an elevated look PE, the Vikings receiver is best remembered (to sneakerheads) for his Vikings-inspired Air air Jordan 11 PE.

Not only did its icy outsole stand out on the turf, but the purple patent leather with gold hits easily caught the attention from the stands thanks to the shoe’s white ballistic mesh upper.

It’s been more than 20 years since Moss and air Jordan Brand unveiled the Vikings-inspired PE. While a release isn’t likely on these, any purple Air air Jordan fan dreams of it.

The Air air Jordan line would see a resurgence as his Airness made his way back to the court as a member of the Washington Wizards. MJ’s return would also see him wearing his signature shoe for the first time since the Air air Jordan 14.

But MJ wasn’t the only one wearing the 17.

Of course, air Jordan Brand member Mike Bibby had his fair share of Sacramento Kings-themed PEs. And of course, they were low-top versions of the silhouette.

The Air air Jordan City Air Max TRK Low Mike Bibby PE was dressed in all-white with purple hits on the tongue, midsole, and outsole with chrome details completing the colorway. Bibby’s “BIB 10 TD” made its way onto the tongue of the 17, nodding his name, jersey number, and “Team Dime” mantra.

It’s hard to decide which of the two purple “Rainbow” members deserves a retail release. If anything, air Jordan Brand should just release them all for those who recall the unearthing of the display.

Part of a regional-exclusive drop, the Lakers-themed Air air Jordan 19 SE “West Coast” marked a new era for the brand as the AJ19 was the first shoe following air Jordan’s official retirement from the sport.
