As I was sitting in my screening of Air, Ben Affleck’s latest directorial effort about how Nike got Michael Jordan to sign with them, I was wearing a pair of Jordan shoes, specifically a pair of Jordan Retro 1s, which look exactly like the first pair of Nike Jordan’s, but mine were a different color.
