Inside Access: An Evolving Jordan Brand

It began in 1984. A then 21-year-old Michael Jordan had just been drafted to play at the professional level and it was clear he was going to revolutionize the game of basketball. At that time, Nike decided it was only appropriate that he also revolutionize the performance footwear game – and he did exactly ...

The Air Jordan I became the most talked about shoe of all time, as it broke the mold of a traditional all-white basketball sneaker. The iconic black, red and white silhouette opened the door to the future of a legacy brand.

THE JUMPMAN

The first two models of the signature shoe featured the “Wings logo” and coined the term “Air Jordan”. In 1985, the Nike design created the Jumpman logo and often used in conjunction with Nike branding. The Air Jordan III, released in 1988, was the first model of the signature shoe to feature the new logo on the tongue, and it has appeared on every model since.

Once associated strictly with on-court footwear, the original Jumpman logo has remained the same since its creation, and continues to be featured on all Jordan Brand products, including footwear, apparel and accessories.

THE LEGACY

With its deep roots in basketball, the Jordan Brand began as a testimonial to one player, Michael Jordan. Throughout Jordan’s storied career, Nike designers annually delivered the year’s most innovative and most coveted basketball shoe. After 11 successful iterations of the Air Jordan, Jordan Brand experienced an historic shift, becoming its own company, and debuting as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nike in 1997.

In 1999, Jordan Brand began to expand its product catalog beyond on-court basketball footwear and apparel when it announced the endorsements of the first non-basketball athletes – baseball superstar Derek Jeter, world-renowned light heavyweight boxer Roy Jones, Jr., and football sensation Randy Moss. Instantly, it became apparent to consumers that the image of excellence associated with the brand was now transcending across all sports. Regardless of which sport they play, Jordan Brand’s family of athletes has always embodied a unique blend of strong character and competitive spirit.

In the years that followed, Jordan Brand has continued to grow its talented roster of athletes, including the first female family member with world-record holding Paralympic sprinter April Holmes. Holmes, like all athlete-endorsers in the Jordan Brand family, exemplifies the spirit of a champion – through hard work, dedication and an unyielding spirit to attain sports greatness.

MOVING BEYOND THE BASKETBALL COURT

By constantly setting the bar for industry-leading technology, Jordan Brand continues its expansion to meet the needs of its family of athletes and consumers. Innovations including the unrivaled FlightPlate technology, a moderator plate that maximizes the responsiveness of the Nike Zoom units, as well as the recent debut of performance woven, present the latest chapter in the storied history of a brand known for constantly challenging the status quo.

The Jordan Brand stays laser focused on its mission: to help athletes fly on and off the court. This means bringing the same level of creativity, innovation and audacious design to off-court footwear and apparel that it always has to products designed for the hardwood. The product evolution is inspired by a family of athletes that fully trust in the brand’s ability to create designs with a purpose – visually stimulating products that deliver unparalleled performance technology.

“The Jordan Brand has always been associated with greatness and we are proud to be able to continue to partner with some of the best athletes in the world,” said Jordan Brand president Larry Miller. “These athletes have driven us to evolve from core basketball focus to a truly diverse brand that delivers premium solutions for all athletic pursuits. We heard directly from athletes at all levels; to be the best on the court we need to help them be the best off the court. From that inspiration, we continue to launch new innovation products like the Flight Runner and the Flight Flex Trainer.”

Football athletes continue to proudly wear the Jumpman when conditioning in the off-season.

Recently, the brand has outfitted some of the greatest athletes across a variety of sports platforms. Products like track spikes, baseball and golf cleats have shown up on the feet of some of the sports-world elite athletes, and football cleats continue to have a presence at retail.

“When people think about Jordan Brand, it triggers the word ‘elite’”, said Jordan Brand’s resident undefeated middleweight Andre Ward. “When I’m at the gym preparing for my next fight, I look to my gear and that motivates me. Seeing the Jumpman, I know that if I want to be the greatest, I need to stay committed.”

The stylish brand has been a staple in the sports and entertainment world for years, and is a conversation leader with innovation in both design and utility. As the brand continues to grow, the requirements never change. The logo has long-since surpassed being about a basketball player and moved into an icon – one that challenges you to out-work and out-perform your peers.

Nike Unveils New Spanish Home and Away Basketball Kits

Today, Pau and Marc Gasol, Juan Carlos Navarro, Sergio Llull, Rudy Fernández and Victor Claver proudly presented the new Spanish Basketball HyperElite team kit in Madrid, host city to one of basketball’s most important events this September. The new kits feature design innovation with inspirational elements specific to Spain. They are the lightest Nike Basketball uniforms ever made, ...

The new kits feature design innovation with inspirational elements specific to Spain. They are the lightest Nike Basketball uniforms ever made, with each design detail maximizing player performance.

Spain’s rich culture is the design inspiration behind the new kits. The home kit colors – challenge red and midas gold – reflect the country’s bountiful sunshine “El sol,” led the design process, pulling from the bright yellows in the early morning to the deep reds in the later afternoon. The away kit color will be white.

Both kits feature red and yellow hues meshed together in the 26-degree speed graphic, beginning at the side seam of the jersey and short, and fading toward the back. The speed graphic represents a distinctive basketball point of view, based on the roughly 1,000 directional changes, or “cuts” that a player might make in the course of a game.

NIKE HYPERELITE JERSEY

A flocked lining at the inside of the neck allows the athlete to comfortably wipe excess moisture from the face. Ultra-lightweight stretch mesh in the back of the jersey serves to regulate the temperature of the player along his spine, where athletes tend to heat up the most. Redeveloped, lightweight sphere fabric in the front of the jersey helps to maintain a comfortable body temperature, while eliminating clinging from excess sweat.

The front of the jersey houses the proud ESPAÑA word mark, designed specifically on the Ñ, a letter strongly identified with the Spanish alphabet.

NIKE HYPERELITE SHORTS

A perforated, vented waistband in the Nike HyperElite shorts provide a level of cooling, while maintaining the comfort and security that athletes require. A new, performance flex vent placed by the knee allows the game short to flex when the player moves. The addition of a flocked “wipe zone” at either hip allows a comfortable spot to dry hands as sweat builds up.

The continuation of performance perforated zones at the side of the short allow the moisture management properties of the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool shorts or Nike Pro Combat Hyperstrong shorts worn underneath to work properly as a complete system.

The new kit will be available from August 2 on nike.com, in Nike stores and selected shops and will debut on-court next August 6.
