The Air Jordan 1 is often credited with shaping the sneaker industry as we know it today. Introduced by Michael Jordan and Nike in 1985, its release laid the foundation for Jordan Brand.  Over the decades, it has transcended its origins as a performance shoe to become a cultural icon, a silhouette recognizable worldwide and associated with timeless style and athletic achievement. And, in 2025, it’s set to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

For the Cover Story of this issue,we’ve assembled a list of our Top 5 Air Jordan 1 General Releases and Top 5 Air Jordan 1 Collabs AJ1 ever released.

Sneakerheads call them “holy grails” — the most coveted and seldom-seen treasures. The term “sneaker grail” gets thrown around a bit, often without context or definition. In fact, there are different ways to look at what constitutes a grail sneaker. A grail list is highly subjective, but it’s easier to break down if there are tiers.

Here at FTYA we have THREE Tiers

1.GRAILS WE CURRENTLY OWN (this is a shoe that you would not get rid of for any price)

2. OBTAINABLE GRAILS (Obtainable meaning you can justify the price but you still are on the fence) 

3. UNATAINABLE GRAILS WE DO NOT OWN  (shoes that are now past the “obtainable” price point )

Check out Issue #0027 as @JaiHov, @SeanDWashington hand out our picks for sneaker grails.
