Marking the 40th anniversary of the shoe that transformed global culture, this special edition by Assouline is a celebration of a game-changing partnership. 'Air Jordan' celebrates four decades of a design's history, evolution, artistry, and cultural influence. With a foreword by Michael Jordan himself, and words by Adam Bradley, the title features images and interviews with insiders, past and present, celebrities, and Hall of Fame athletes and figures who helped define the Air Jordan on and beyond the court. With rare materials from the archives — alongside exclusive images of Jordan’s personal keepsakes, clothing, and memorabilia — the cover of this essential edition features a never-before-published image of Michael Jordan captured by Annie Leibovitz.
