Summary

The new movie ‘Air’ from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon recalls how Sonny Vaccaro helped sign Michael Jordan to Nike in a deal that birthed the Air Jordan sneaker line. In this episode, the co-hosts discuss its merits, historical accuracy, and the portrayal of real-life footwear industry legends like Phil Knight and Rob Strasser. They also breakdown the possible decline of the Air Jordan 1, the best and worst Jordan hybrids, Bode’s Nike collaboration, and the coming Terror Squad Air Force 1s by Fat Joe.
