IBABANDERA na sa madlang pipol ang istorya sa likod ng isa sa mga pinakasikat na sapatos sa buong mundo.
Ito ang “Air Jordan” na mula sa isang sikat na brand company.
Pero alam niyo ba mga ka-bandera na taong 1984 pa nang naimbento ang sapatos na ‘yan.
Base sa ginawang pelikula na may titulong “Air,” ang Jordan Air ay ginawa para sa dating basketball star na si Michael Jordan at ito ang kauna-unahan niyang partnership sa American shoes company na Nike.
Ang nabanggit na pelikula ay kasalukuyan nang ipinapalabas sa mga lokal na sinehan.
Pinagbibidahan ito ng American actor na si Matt Damon at mula rin sa direksyon ng award-winning actor na si Ben Affleck.

Sa inilabas na pahayag ng Warner Bros. Pictures, ikinuwento ni Matt kung ano ang isinugal ng main character ng pelikula na si Sonny Vaccaro, ang basketball expert at ang nagdisenyo ng nabanggit na sapatos.
“It is an all-or-nothing gamble, but one in which he entirely believes because he absolutely knows and loves the game,” sey ng American actor.
Kwento pa niya, “But he’s at a point where his career is in a precarious place and Nike’s entire basketball division is on the brink. He is risking all their jobs by pushing that agenda because he’s been told Jordan really wants to go with Adidas. Their shoes are cooler, and Nike is considered a jogging shoe company that Michael doesn’t associate with basketball. Nobody really does.”
“That was one of the things that was so surprising to me when I read the script,” Chika ni Matt.
Aniya, “because I always had this idea of Nike as this absolute powerhouse in the basketball shoe market, which they are now.”
“But when you catch them at the beginning of this story, they are the clear underdogs… One thing Sonny Vaccaro was very clear with me about was that the feelings of camaraderie, friendship and loyalty are his takeaways from that time. That’s what we wanted to put in the movie—a story about these underdogs doing something that had never been done before,” dagdag niya.
Bukod kay Matt, tampok din sa “Air” ang ilan pang Hollywood actors na sina Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Marlon Wayans, Chris Tucker at Viola Davis.
