Still from Air

The true tale of a gamble on a rookie basketball player that created an empire. This is the star-drenched Nike Air Jordan origin story from SXSW. 

From award-winning director Ben Affleck, AIR reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then rookie Michael Jordan and Nike’s fledgling basketball division - revolutionizing the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand.

This slick 80s era story follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional duo with everything on the line (played by the iconics Matt Damon and Jason Bateman), the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son’s immense talent (the astounding Viola Davis), and the basketball phenom who would become the greatest of all time. 

In our capitalistic, consumer driven society, this logo is more easily recognisable than the leaves on our trees or the fish still in our rivers. Air shoots its shot at the history of a brand found all around the world.
