Jordan Brand has teamed up with Takehiko Inoue’s iconic Japanese manga ‘Slam Dunk’ for a collaboration project. As the sports-themed manga is deeply influenced by Michael Jordan’s own career, both the Air Jordan VI and Super. Fly 3 play as canvases to Slam Dunk storyboards. The AJ VI features a Hanamichi Sakuragi graphic matted across the paneled upper and the moments of his rise in the series. The number ’10’ (Sakuragi’s jersey number) was also being plotted to the shoe and replaced Jordan’s signature number ’23’. Meanwhile, the Super. Fly 3 features Inoue’s creation of modern version of Sakuragi, with the prints seen across the upper that never be published outside of the shoe.
The collection will be available at Hoops Station via VIP balloting on this Saturday.
