As we all know, AJ likes to release color combinations that are related to Jordan's personal experience. Once sold, it is a sentiment. So where did the recently very popular international flight colors come from? Why does Jordan launch international flight colors? What does international flights have to do with Jordan? Come and see with the editor how the color matching of AJ International flights came about.

AJ3 INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT

In the summer of 1988, the Bulls lost to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the playoffs, but after one season, Michael Jordan won the scoring title, the Defensive Player of the Year, and the first regular season MVP.

So, on August 8, 1988, Michael Jordan came to Los Angeles and began his charity game performance for the year in front of more than 17,500 enthusiastic fans. Scored 54 points. Through this game, the final amount raised reached 650,000 US dollars.

All these donations were donated to UNCF in the United States to provide private scholarships for people of color. It is precisely because of this event that Jordan Brand has cooperated with this organization for 30 years so far.

This AJ3 color design is inspired by this game. The red and blue color blocks on the shoes come from the colors of the jerseys worn by the players in this charity game. The slightly unique angle of Michael Jordan's signature on the tongue of the left shoe.

The pattern on the lining of the collar of the shoe represents the star-shaped design on the game jersey at that time. At the same time, the shoes retain the iconic burst pattern design. The use of gray color makes the burst pattern less abrupt and highly unified with the overall tone of the shoe.

AJ5 INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT

In the summer of 1990, being defeated by the Pistons for three consecutive years and watching the Pistons win the championship was difficult for Michael Jordan to accept. So one month after the end of the season, Michael Jordan started his training plan-to gain weight, after all, to fight against the "Jordan Rules" of the "Bad Boys".

This time he came to Barcelona, ​​Spain. When he arrived here, the new season of the local basketball league was about to begin, and Michael Jordan was also involved.

It’s just that at this time, Michael Jordan’s local reputation was still lacking. After all, there were still two years before the Olympic Dream Team’s performance. However, this did not affect his interest in serving as a judge in the slam dunk contest and participating in a promotional exhibition game held for the opening of the league. He also “conveniently” scored the team’s highest score of 37 points.

This pair of AJ5s was designed with such a game as the background. The shoe uses blue and orange patterns on the grid on the side of the shoe and the lining of the shoe to pay tribute to Barcelona's strong street art atmosphere. The reason why blue and orange are used is because these two colors were used on the game jerseys at that time.

Of course, the shoes also have a hidden design, which is to reverse the words inside the tongue and change the familiar Air to Aire. This is because in Spanish, Aire is used to mean Air.

AJ7 INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT

In 1996, when people were discussing Michael Jordan, they began to use words like "history" and "the strongest". During the offseason, Michael Jordan and some NBA stars came to Tokyo, Japan, to attend a basketball training camp held here.

The shoe design that pays tribute to such a story contains more representative elements of Japan this time. Since Japan is the largest producer of koi, the shoes use this representative element and make a fish scale pattern on the outside of the toe. The contrast between white and blue-black on the shoe body makes the visual effect very significant.

On the shoe body and lining, relief-like patterns are used to represent Japan’s famous clothing-kimono. On the heel, it is obvious that vertical Japanese characters are used. When translated, it must mean Air Jordan.

Why AJ international flight colors are so popular

The reason why it is different is naturally related to the theme and design inspiration of the shoes. This Air Jordan International Flight Collection series is a way to launch the shoes worn by Michael Jordan at the corresponding time point and give these shoes new colors.

To pay tribute to our favorite games during the summer offseason. It can be said that this series of shoes pays more attention to the stories and feelings given by the color matching.

For many players, summer is the offseason. After all, 82 regular season games in a season is a heavy load on the players' bodies, not to mention the more brutal competition in the playoffs. Vacations are needed to relieve fatigue and speed up the recovery of injuries.

But for those All-Star players, it is inevitable that they will have to fly around the world to participate in various events this summer.

For Michael Jordan, summer travel and activities are also an excellent opportunity to showcase his superb skills to fans in the United States and overseas.

Behind every international flight, there is a very memorable story.
