On the week that will lead up to the return of the Air Jordan 1 Royal, Nike has unveiled the background story/inspiration behind this highly anticipated pair of kicks.
Here’s how the story goes according to Nike.
On a cold, crisp morning in 1985, famed sports photographer Chuck Kuhn stepped onto a remote Oregon airstrip to shoot a rising basketball star — Michael Jordan. Rather than wear his team’s iconic red and black, Jordan chose his personal favorite colors: royal blue and black. The shoe he wore that day, the Air Jordan I black/royal, was the first AJ I offered for purchase to the public. The portrait became an iconic poster, coined the Flight Guy — its image etched in street and sport style memory.
To commemorate this iconic moment, Jordan Brand launches the Flight Guy Collection this summer. Highlighted by the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 31, the collection connects an iconic moment to modern innovation while paying tribute to the way legends surprise us… often out of the blue.
Look for both pairs to release on April 1st, $160 for the Jordan 1 and $185 for the Jordan 31.
