Following the unveil of the first-ever Jordan Brand NBA All-Star Edition uniforms, the Jumpman will welcome a new generation to experience greatness during this year’s NBA All-Star Weekend.
EVOLUTION OF GREATNESS
Thirty years ago, Michael Jordan cemented his place in NBA All-Star history when he leapt from the free throw line during the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest.
He did this while wearing the now-iconic Air Jordan III White Cement. He added another layer to his legacy later that weekend by earning All-Star Game MVP honors in the Black Cement colorway. These performances left a lasting impact on All-Star Weekend, and this year Jordan Brand celebrates the evolution of the man from athlete to icon by officially placing the Jumpman on the chest of this year’s NBA All-Stars.
During NBA All-Star Weekend, Jordan Brand will bring together a new generation with global product launches, elevated experiences, co-creation opportunities and community engagement all in celebration of the Jumpman’s higher standard of greatness.
TODAY’S GREATEST
Representing their teams on the big stage with the iconic Jumpman on their chest, six Jordan Brand family members have been selected to play in the NBA All-Star Game. Additionally, Jordan Brand family member Victor Oladipo will compete in Saturday’s Slam Dunk Contest.
- LaMarcus Aldridge
- Jimmy Butler
- Andre Drummond
- Victor Oladipo
- Kemba Walker
- Russell Westbrook
HONORING MOMENTS OF GREATNESS
The Jordan Brand All-Star product lineup represents moments of greatness from the past and present. The product offering includes the 30-year anniversary of the Air Jordan III Black Cement, Air Jordan III Free Throw Line, Russell Westbrook’s Why Not Zer0.1 Two-Way and City of Flight, Air Jordan XXXII Free Throw Line and more. The brand has partnered with Foot Action’s 749 S Broadway location, House of Hoops Hollywood and Highland, the Nike East LA Community Store, Nike The Grove, Nike Santa Monica and SNKRS to showcase key products throughout the weekend.
CELEBRATING GREATNESS IN THE COMMUNITY
The Jordan Family Block Party will be open to the public and hosted at the Nike East Los Angeles community store on Saturday, February 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT. This community celebration of greatness will feature product customization, athlete appearances, on-court experiences and more.
CREATING GREATNESS TOGETHER
Jordan Brand’s Studio 23 space will give the next generation an opportunity to collaborate and co-create with Jordan Family members and friends of the brand that represent greatness in art, music, style and culture. This space is also a platform for LA’s established and rising cultural creators to showcase their talents. Select Studio 23 experiences will be RSVP only; others will be limited first-come, first-served access. Stay tuned to @jumpman23 on Twitter for more information.
