The photographer that took the iconic Jumpman photograph in 1984, is suing Nike for violating the Copyright of his photo. The photographer states that his photo was the inspiration behind the Jumpman logo, that’s been used since the very beginnings of Jordan Brand.

The lawsuit says Nike paid photographer Rentmeester $150 in August 1984 for temporary use of two 35mm transparencies of Jordan he shot for Life magazine, later returning the images lest the company be charged an additional $500.

Rentmeester contacted Nike upon learning of its image and “Nike initially refused to speak with Mr. Rentmeester regarding the issue,” the lawsuit says, “and only responded to his repeated requests when Mr. Rentmeester threatened litigation.”

The lawsuit says Nike paid Rentmeester $15,000 in March 1985 for a limited license to use the image of the soaring Jordan for two years.

But Nike exceeded the agreement in marketing materials as well as creating, in 1987, the Jumpman logo — a silhouette inspired by the soaring image, the lawsuit says. – Oregon Live

If you haven’t already, better whip out those phones and take as many selfies as you can because the Michael Jordan statue will be moving inside.

Renderings for a proposed new office building outside the United Center show the iconic Jordan statue residing inside the building’s atrium lobby outside a team store. The Jordan statue draws tourists and fans from around the world — and at all hours of the day and night — in its current location near the Lot H parking lot.

According to a Bulls spokesperson, the statue of Jordan will be relocated temporarily to the southeast corner of the United Center during construction, allowing the public to retain unfettered access to them. But that kind of access may not be permanent.

When construction is complete, the plan calls for the statue to be placed back in its current location, albeit inside the building. Both the atrium lobby and the team store will be open to the public, but specific hours of operation for both have yet to be determined. – Reddit

adidas today unveiled the J Wall 1 NYC All-Star edition shoe for Washington Wizards point guard John Wall to wear during his second consecutive NBA All-Star Game appearance and first-ever starting nod.

The versatile point guard’s impressive play, improved defense and league leading 10 assists per game have led Washington to the Eastern Conference’s second best record.

Designed in tandem with the 2015 NBA All-Star uniforms, the adidas NYC All-Star footwear collection is inspired by the attitude and culture of New York City basketball, music and fashion. Each shoe will feature a clean, premium aesthetic in an iconic white, black and gold color scheme. The white uppers are highlighted by subtle snakeskin textures, black accents and hits of metallic gold.

The J Wall 1 features a double layered white mesh upper for increased comfort and breathability. White leather snakeskin texture is featured around the laces, top of the tongue and ankle. Black accents include the full-length adiprene+ midsole, metallic toe cap, FITFRAME and three-stripes. The J Wall 1 NYC All-Star is finished with metallic gold J Wall logos on the tongue and lateral side.

 

The J Wall 1 NYC All-Star edition launches at adidas.com and Foot Locker on February 13 for $115.

The Air Jordan VII “Bordeaux” released in 1992 and was one of the only VII’s Michael Jordan rarely wore during the NBA season. MJ rocked these bad boys throughout countless campaigns including the All Star games of 92′. The Bordeaux was planned as a retro in 2002, but was scrapped only to come back in 2011 for the first time in retro form. Now, these are releasing again this Summer under Jordan Brand’s remastered line.
