  1. This is the shoe Nike really needs to make a retro of. I’m one of those old timers like Jordan who knows the Air Ships are the real “banned” shoe. They can do a theme similar to the Air Max Zero saying it’s “The One Before the One” BS and package it in an over-sized orange Nike box with a retail of say… $170? Or maybe call them “The Banned Truth”? LOL!!!! Jordan’s videos are AWESOME!

  2. The video is so great and very informative! I just wonder why Nike doesn’t decide to releash the Air Ship? They think that by releasing Ship it will “damage” the legacy of the line?
