Michael Jordan Wore Classic Sneakers at NASCAR Race
There can only be one GOAT, and in the basketball world, that is Michael Jordan. Advanced analytics can be a useful tool but so is counting rings. Not to mention making basketball a global game and revolutionizing the sneaker industry.
Whenever hoops fans of a certain age see Jordan, it is akin to catching a glimpse of Santa Claus. The notoriously private superstar just sold the Charlotte Hornets, so that means fewer memes and even less sightings of the living legend.
However, Jordan is still the Team 23XI owner and recently attended the 2023 Ally 400 in Nashville, Tennessee. True to form, Jordan wore baggy camouflage cargo pants, a black t-shirt, and a crisp pair of Air Jordan sneakers.
Jordan's legendary sneaker line is quickly closing in on 40 years, but its namesake still wears his first signature model on a regular basis. This weekend, "His Airness" wore the Air Jordan 1 in an all-white colorway. Below is all you need to know about the affordable kicks.
Air Jordan 1 Low
The Air Jordan 1 Low enjoys regular retro releases in new and OG colorways. Currently, there are five colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Low (including MJ's all-white colorway) available for $110 in adult sizes on the Nike website.
This low-cut version of Jordan's first sneaker is an integral part of every sneakerhead's rotation. The genuine leather upper offers a premium look for the iconic silhouette. Meanwhile, the encapsulated Air-Sole unit provides lightweight cushioning for lasting comfort.
Even as Jordan takes a step back from the NBA, he remains a five-star general in the sneaker industry. He says jump; we ask how high. He says baggier pants; we scour the globe for extra denim. Jordan is the gift that keeps giving, and we at FanNation Kicks salute him for everything he has given the world.
