Nike pays tribute to Michael Jordan's superstition of wearing his lucky UNC shorts underneath his Bulls shorts during practice. On May 10 at 9:00 am, the Nike Air Ship SP 'Every Game' collection will be released, consisting of the 'Diffused Blue' and 'Red Dune' colorways.
The UNC shorts, which inspired the sneaker, are often seen as the lucky shorts that accompanied MJ for much of his career. After Michael Jordan led the Tar Heels to the national championship in 1982, he believed that the shorts he wore brought him luck. And when MJ went to the NBA, these North Carolina Practice shorts continued to follow him. Hidden underneath his Chicago Bulls outfit.
Nike Air Ship SP 'Diffused Blue'
The Nike Air Ship 'Diffused Blue' features a white leather upper contrasted by premium blue suede panels on the eyestay, ankle collar, and Swoosh logo on the sides. It also has dark blue laces, a sail-colored midsole, and an aged blue outsole. The most striking element of the Diffused Blue design is the 'Every Game' embroidery on the heel.
Nike Air Ship SP 'Red Dune'
In addition, the Nike Air Ship 'Red Dune' is designed in a Chicago Bulls-inspired colorway. Unlike the 'Diffused Blue' colorway, the materials are switched up and blue is replaced with red. The sneaker features cracked leather on the heel tab, collar, Swoosh, and eyestays. While white suede covers the rest of the shoe. The "Every Game" text can also be found on the Red Dune colorway.
According to sources, the Nike Air Ship SP 'Every Game' is set to release on May 10 at 9:00 am. However, official release details have yet to be announced by Jordan Brand. Make sure too keep an eye out on our release calendar and Instagram page to stay up-to-date 24/7!
