We all know no-one does sneakers better than nike. But when nike’s classic prowess meets another super brand- the result is truly astounding
On that note, here are 10 of the greatest nike/jordan collaborations
Nike X Travis Scott
Now that we’re talking collaborations, let's start with the best. Travis Scott's collaboration with Nike was undoubtedly the highlight of 2019. In May 2020 when Nike dropped the NIKE AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH x TRAVIS SCOTT, it went on to become the highest reselling shoes of the year. Later Travis Scott went on to drop a few more beasts with Nike which made their collaboration one of the truly iconic ones.

Nike X Off White
In 2017 Virgil Abloh from OFF WHITE decided to collaborate with Nike. The coopetition was known as “THE TEN” because Abloh was going to deconstruct 10 of the best Nike sneakers. This collaboration proved to be one of the most important ones for Nike. All launches were a rampant success making the line a very celebrated and coveted one.

Nike X Drake Ovo
Jordan’s collaboration with Drake is a testament to the colossal influence celebrities can have on fashion in all sectors. Although Drake is no designer himself, his name on the collection is enough to make people fawn over the gorgeous sneakers.

Nike X Yeezy (Kanye West)
Most of us are aware of Adidas’s collaboration with Kanye West but that wasn’t the first time he collaborated with an amazing brand and made history. In 2009 Nike dropped the Air Yeezy 1 and let's just say it was a revolutionary moment. The rapper then went on to release its sequel Air Yeezy 2 in two colorways. But whilst the public received awesome products from this collaboration, Nike and Kanye had a falling out, leading to him cutting ties with the brand. Before this partition Nike dropped the last pair of sneakers with Kanye West called the ‘Red October’ and it remains one of the best creations of the collaboration.

Nike X Supreme
Supreme is a very popular streetwear brand, and its collaboration with Nike is said to be one of the most consistent ones. Nike and Supreme came together in 2002, and since then Supreme has joined hands with Nike time and again to create unique yet comfortable footwear collections. It has made its way into many Nike designs like the Jordans and Dunks too.

It was also the first collaboration that anyone ever did with the Jordan 2s. The pastel colorway was chosen by Vashtie and she took inspiration from her lovely clothing line VOILETTE. The entire collection is based on purple tones and glittery laces which gives it a very beautiful and elegant look.

Nike X Eminem
In 2003 Nike launched their ‘Artist series’ in which they collaborated with many artists and one such artist was Eminem. Eminem’s first launch was a shoe called ‘SHADY BURSTS’. They didn't just stop there but went on to collaborate and create several more amazing pairs over the years, like the SHADY RECORD launched in 2004. Nike and Eminem make for great partners, which they have proved by creating fantastically artsy sneakers throughout the years.
