The latest Air Jordan sneaker commemorates Michael Jordan’s seminal partnership with Nike. The first contract Michael Jordan ever signed with Nike went into effect on October 24, 1984- before Jordan donned a Chicago Bulls jersey. Constructed with a premium black leather, the Air Jordan 31 “Fine Print” comes in a woven Flyweave upper with both a gradient Nike Swoosh and white Jumpman branding. The Jordan brand delivers an iconic finishing touch with Michael Jordan’s signature printed on the outsole. The original Nike contract is reflected in the gradient white-black color scheme with hints of Wolf Grey. The history-inspired sneaker drops on September 17 for $185 USD at select retailers.
