Michael Jordan’s 1987-88 season was one for the record books: “His Airness” led the league in scoring with an average of 35 points per game, defended his Slam Dunk title, and earned his first league MVP Award. MJ quickly cemented the shoe’s legacy when, on February 6th at the NBA Dunk contest in Chicago, he famously seemed to defy gravity by jumping from the foul line to the basket. Rally’s #88JORDAN is a pair of classic “Air Jordan III” signed, game-worn sneakers from that iconic season.
Hatfield’s Jordan III implemented design specifics that Jordan himself had voiced in the past and introduced the Jumpman logo (originally sketched by Moore) on the tongue of the sneaker. This proved to Jordan that the brand was as invested in him as a cultural icon as he was, willing to make his personal branding more central than their own famous Swoosh.
