A few weeks back, I joined the Jordan brand in Harlem for the unveiling of the new Air Jordan 34. To be honest, my love of Jordan extends way off the court. I grew up in Chicago and watched every Bulls game to see MJ play; I never forgot to check to see what he had on his feet each game. His Airness is responsible for my obsession with sneakers. Because of that, I’m a bigger fan of the shoes Jordan wore himself—which fit right in with casual outfits—than more modern game shoes, with performance-first designs that generally feel like they should stay on the hardwood. What can I say? I’m more sneakerhead than baller.
