Before the Nike Air Jordan 1 became a success after Michael Jordan wore it on his first steps in the pro league in back 1985, the Nike Air Ship was launched in 1984 through Bruce Kilgore's design to celebrate the young talent's debut, more precisely in the fifth game of his first season on November 1 of that year.
Over forty years later, the Nike Air Ship, like other Jordan models that became known after the Bulls won six championships, became extremely coveted and expensive. For example, an original pair worn by Michael Jordan has been recently auctioned for approximately $1.5 million.
The Nike Air Ship is definitely a very special chapter in the history of sneaker culture, so much so that in 2021 it was re-released in its original colors as part of the 'New Beginnings Pack' and recently through the collaboration between Nike and A Ma Maniere. , which launched the sneaker last August 26, also with the original features, but using the colors of white and blue known as 'Game Royal'.
Limited to just 2300 pairs, the ‘A Ma Maniére x Jordan Air Ship’ comes with a white lace and an additional blue pair. An interesting detail is that there is a serial number indicated on the back of the tongue of each pair.
