Nike has added another exciting addition to their already impressive collection of shoes: the Jordan sneakers. These new shoes, recently released, represent the unique identities of various prestigious universities.
According to Complex, Nike has generously gifted athletes from multiple schools with exclusive Air Jordan logos that match their school's color schemes. Some of the lucky schools to receive these new sneakers include Howard University, Georgetown University, the University of North Carolina, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of California, Los Angeles. Each school's Air Jordan 23s are specifically designed to match their colors and feature the school's mascot and logo. These fresh kicks are reserved for athletes and staff members only, with no plans to sell them to the public.
The original Air Jordan 23s were first released in 2008, and they have since become a popular and iconic shoe among sneaker enthusiasts. In fact, it was recently reported that a set of Air Jordans worn by the legend himself, Michael Jordan, was sold for a record-breaking $8 million at a Sotheby's auction. This collection, known as the "Dynasty Collection," included six pairs of Nike Air Jordans that Jordan wore during the games that sealed the championships for him and the Chicago Bulls.
Each pair in the "Dynasty Collection" was significant, with one from the last games of the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998 NBA Finals. Jordan only played in six NBA Finals and was undefeated in all of them, making these shoes even more valuable. The seller of the shoes originally purchased them from Tim Hallam, the public relations director for the Bulls during Jordan's time on the team. It is said that Jordan himself gave Hallam the shoes.
All of the sneakers in the "Dynasty Collection" were either a size 13 or 13.5 and were personally signed by Jordan. This collection holds a special place in the hearts of many fans, as it represents some of Jordan's most iconic moments on the court. The record-breaking sale at the Sotheby's auction only solidifies the impact that Jordan and his shoes have had on the world of basketball and fashion.
In conclusion, Nike's latest release of the Jordan sneakers, gifted to select universities' athletic departments, is just another testament to the brand's commitment to excellence. These shoes not only represent the school's colors and identity but also pay homage to the legendary Michael Jordan and his incredible career.
