There is nothing like getting a box in the mail and having no idea what is in it. A big box from Gatorade was delivered a few hours ago so yeah – today is one of those Christmas in July days. And with a big “23″ on the side of the box I knew it had to be something good.
Usually when a box like this comes it is a few pairs of shoes – but this box was way too heavy for that. The dude that dropped it off even asked if I ordered a few cases of Gatorade because it was that heavy. (you can talk about it at this link: http://www.solecollector.com/forums/exclusive-gatorade-cooler )
I brought the box inside and thought I’d photograph each step – glad I did because there were multiple items in the box….
You know I like the 4 of 23 written on the outside of the box.
Then. Now. Forever. 23.
A pretty sick cooler – and it is pretty heavy.
There is a really nice lasered hang tag with #4 of 23 on it.
Inside the Gatorade cooler there are two levels. One is a really nice foamed case with four Gatorade bottles and the other is a set of two bottles with a towel and a leather Gatorade case.
The four bottles of Gatorade are in a really nice foam case with MJ’s sig.
In a nice leather case there was pretty smooth Portable Reader by Sony. It said hit button 8 for a message from MJ. The message was indeed from MJ and talked about the history of MJ and Gatorade.
Here are the bottles – each one has a pretty good photo of MJ and one has one of his Michael Jordan Motor Sports bikes. Here they are:
Bottle 1
Bottle 2
Bottle 3 (2009 Michael Jordan Motor Sports bike)
Bottle 4
Bottle 5 (this one is actually signed)
Bottle 6
More on this set soon. Check out the next issue of Sole Collector for the full story.

Yo Steve, does this have anything to do with how much Gatorade you buy? Reason I ask is because ironically, just the other day I got a package in the mail from Gatorade and it was a Rubbermaid cooler just like the one above. It was just a cooler though, nothing special. They sent a letter attached saying thank you for buying Gatorade. I’ve been buying the drink for as long as I can remember and is always stocked in my fridge.
