This photo is from one of Sole Collector’s photo shoots for the half Melo issue in 2006. We took over an outside court at a local school and had two gen sets running the strobes. It was difficult because each time the strobes fired the gen sets just about died so no firing off a bunch of shots in a row. This was the second shoot for the half Melo issue. The first shoot failed miserably.
It’s become a global phenomenon, the likes of which we may never see again. The perfect team assembled from the start: the alpha player in Michael Jordan, a corporate maverick savvy enough to leverage the young star in Phil Knight, and an architect-turned-designer in Tinker Hatfield eager to redefine the industry with his problem-solving approach to footwear. It was a time when the sun, moon and Mars aligned, and the dominance that Michael Jordan displayed nightly as a young Chicago Bull captured the imagination of adoring fans across the globe. Chicago soon began to beat, repeat and three-peat against the competition, twice, and the innovation making its way out of Beaverton was unparalleled across the footwear industry, marking both aesthetic and athletic firsts, as both the legendary Air Jordan shoe and Michael’s playing career itself reached mythical status.
