Nike Air Jordan 1 retro high sb defiant LA to CHICAGO

Basketball was not the only culture affected by the Nike Air Jordan I in 1985. As icons like Lance Mountain began skateboarding in the AJI, it became a part of skate culture. This year, the SB x AJI “Defiant Is” pays homage to parallel cities in Jordan Brand and skateboarding history.

“LA to Chicago” brings together two cities who kicked off the origins of modern-day skateboarding and greatness while tying in iconic color references.
