Air Jordan is a iconic line of basketball footwear and athletic apparel produced by Nike, Inc. The brand was originally created for Hall of Fame former basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls in 1984, before being released to the public in April 1985.

While the brand was born in the United States, Air Jordan products are manufactured across a global network of factories. Most production occurs in Asian nations such as Vietnam, China, and Indonesia. Despite its global manufacturing footprint, the brand remains centrally managed by Nike's headquarters in Oregon, USA, maintaining its status as a subsidiary that operates with its own distinct identity under the Nike corporate umbrella.
