Thirty years ago, we got a glimpse of things to come. Back before he had his own shoe, a skinny freshman named Michael Jordan sunk a game-winning jumper in New Orleans to seal a national championship for North Carolina wearing Converse kicks. The rest is history.
That night was 30 years ago today, and Jordan Brand is celebrating the 30th anniversary of “the shot” by hosting a special online auction with product inspired by that magical evening. Only 23 packs will be available, and all proceeds will be donated to charity. Stay tuned to find out how you can bid on this one-of-a-kind package.
While no information is available just yet on what exact silhouette they’ll be collaborating on, if I had to guess, I’d say the Converse Pro Leather which MJ wore in that 1982 NCAA Championship game is a good bet.
