Nike Los Angeles knows synergy. How else can you explain the coming together of two iconic brands the swoosh and Jordan Brand bring in a Los Angeles summer staple like The Drew League and manage to tie it all in with this summers Olympic Games with Team USA Basketball? Oh, and add in a jet and a swoosh-branded Aston Martin too for meassure? Its like they own the city or something
This weekend, Los Angeles played host to the Nike x Jordan Air Hangar, a celebration of our love for the game of basketball and the journey of Team USA. Housed inside the hangar are a display of Team USA artifacts from both the Mens and Womens National teams with names like Jordan, Swoopes, Barkley, Leslie, Carter and more adorning the hallway. After you take a look back into the past, the future shines through with the latest Team USA gear and the sneakers that our squad will be rocking in Rio, including the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Flyknit and the Air Jordan 31 in red, white and blue.
Once youre finished with the history lesson, the Hangar leads you into a veritable dream come true for any hoops junkie. From weartest stations to a full-sized basketball court to a storefront that includes the full collection of Team USA gear, including the first chance anybody will have to buy the Air Jordan 31, there is something for everybody. You can even live out your dreams of being like Mike with the Jordan jet that lets you enter and depart the plane like a true celebrity.
Saturdays festivities included a handful of Drew League games featuring local stars and NBA guys both current and former such as Jordan Clarkson and Baron Davis. But the night truly got started when Chance The Rapper (!) made a surprise appearance and performance before handing it off to the stars of night, Team USA Basketball members (and Nike/Jordan athletes) Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Elena Delle-Donne and 3-time gold medalist and legend Tamika Catchings. After a quick chat with Kyrie where we asked him about being able to reconnect with Coach K in Team USA Basketball, we ended the night with a dunk contest that saw the winner Michael Purdie walk away with a Nike-branded Aston Martin. No, seriously, the car had swooshes all over it.
