Get ready to dive into the world of sneakers and discover a treasure for all Air Jordan enthusiasts! The Air Jordan book, a true collector's item, is here to revolutionize your coffee table and ignite conversations.
Author Adam Bradley, in collaboration with Assouline, has crafted a masterpiece that goes beyond the court. This book explores the immense cultural impact of Air Jordan, a brand that has left an indelible mark on basketball and popular culture. With rare photos and insights, it's a must-have for any sneakerhead.
But here's where it gets controversial... The book is available in two editions, each with its own unique appeal. The Classic edition boasts a never-before-seen photo by Annie Leibovitz, capturing a pose reminiscent of the iconic Jumpman logo. Meanwhile, the Ultimate edition is a limited-edition masterpiece, with only 1,000 hand-numbered copies, featuring a luxurious leather clamshell cover. Both editions are now available for pre-order, with the Ultimate edition shipping on November 7.
The Air Jordan coffee table book is a true celebration of Jordan's legacy. Divided into six sections, honoring his six NBA championships, it features rare materials and exclusive images of Michael Jordan's personal collection. With 360 pages and over 400 images and illustrations, it's a visual feast.
In the foreword, Michael Jordan himself sets the tone, emphasizing the book's focus on cultural influence rather than basketball tactics. He writes, "This is not a book about the game; it's a celebration of 40 years of greatness." A bold statement indeed!
Author Adam Bradley, known for his works like "The Anthology of Rap" and his collaboration with Common on "One Day It'll All Make Sense," brings his expertise to this project.
The pricing reflects the exclusivity and quality of these editions. The Classic edition is available for $123, while the Ultimate edition retails at a premium $2,300. A nod to Jordan's iconic jersey number, these prices might make you think twice, but for the true fan, it's a small price to pay for such a unique piece of history.
So, are you ready to add this collectible to your shelf? It's a conversation starter and a piece of history, all in one. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the shoes, it's about the culture and the legacy.
What do you think? Is this book a worthy addition to your collection? Or is it too pricey for what it offers? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
