6 G-Shocks That Match The Original Air Jordan Sneakers

What do Michael Jordan and G-Shock have in common? They both came up in the same era, and his original Nike Air Jordan sneakers from 1985 had a black and red color scheme like the DW-5000C-1A, one of the two debut G-Shock models from 1983. Black and red would go on to become the signature G-Shock brand colors and are often seen in the standard models and special color series. In 2011, G-Shock released three watches in collaboration with Jordan Brand, featuring the iconic Jumpman logo.

The Air Jordan sneaker was released in 1985, and it can be credited with not only enabling a then small Nike to grow tremendously, but also with creating a sneaker craze that became an entirely new fashion culture around the world. Both Air Jordan and G-Shock hold a special place in the history of streetwear, and many young men growing up in the 1980s and 1990s owned both. As with G-Shock, there are current models that are similar to the original in design and style, known as the Jordan 1 line.

Here are six G-Shock watches that match the original Air Jordan sneakers.
