Nike to Release Air Jordan 1 'A Star is Born' Shoe Based on Michael Jordan Sports Illustrated Cover

Jordan Brand's 2018 holiday collection will include a sneaker based on Michael Jordan's "A Star is Born" Sports Illustrated cover.

The AJ1 High features a black, white, red and green design, the same color scheme from the 1984 cover, which captured Jordan during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The design combines the Bulls' and Bucks' colors, along with the stripes on the Nike check resembling the side stripes on Milwaukee's 1980s jerseys.

Sports Illustrated declared "A Star is Born" when placing a rookie Jordan on its Dec. 10, 1984, cover.
