Michael Jordan Poster x  Shepard Fairey

Street artist Shepard Fairey originally gained fame as the designer behind Obey. Recently Fairey's prominence was elevated to the mainstream with his "Hope" Obama graphic used to support the election of Barack Obama.

Fairey's latest project is a 18" x 24" poster of Michael Jordan in mid flight going towards the rim, produced in layered stencil. The moment of the announcement of the poster coincides with MJ's entry into the basketball hall of fame.

Hopefully, we will see these covering walls in cities around the world very soon.

Converse Pro Leather High "Jordan Edition" | Sample

We recently posted an interview with Michael Jordan were he stated he wanted to sign with adidas over Nike when he first entered the NBA. Before the NBA, while at UNC Jordan wore Converse sneakers.

It makes sense that Converse would create a pack of Jordan inspired colorways of the sneaker he wore while playing college ball. Back in 2005, the Converse Pro Leather High "Jordan Edition" were created in a white and gold colorway. The kicks never released despite the concept being on point.

Here is an interesting interview with Michael Jordan on how he almost went with Adidas instead of Nike.
During college Jordan wore Converse, because they sponsored the Tar Heels. Despite rocking Converse on court at UNC Jordan was an adidas-head.

Well nobody knows what would have happend if he had signed with Adidas. But signing at Nike was not the worst decision he made. Not for him. Not for Nike. And last but not least: Not for the sneakerheads!
