NIKE, NIKE AIR JORDAN XXVIII, SIZE 15

Rubber, Cotton, Nylon, Plastic

2013

This pair of Air Jordan XXVIII player exclusives were created specifically for Ray ‘Sugar Ray’ Allen while playing for the Miami Heat alongside teammates LeBron James, Dwyane  Wade and Chris Bosh. 2013 was a remarkable year for Allen, leading the Miami Heat to an NBA title victory against the San Antonio Spurs. A moment in NBA Finals history, during Game 6 with 5.2 seconds on the clock, Allen scored a game-tying 3 pointer and the Heat would move on to win the Championship in Game 7. 

 

Ray Allen is considered one of the greatest shooters of all time. He ended his career having averaged 18.9 points per game, with two NBA Championship titles and 10 All-Star performances. In 2000, he joined Team USA at the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia and helped bring the United States a Gold medal.


The Air Jordan XXVIII was tested more than any model before it. The ‘Jordan Flight Plate’ has cushioning units that essentially unlock airbags in the forefront and heel, termed ‘Zoom bags’ by Nike, and were an industry-changing invention. This colorway features an ultra modern stealth design. The black nylon outer shroud unzips to reveal a red jumpman logo and red lace. The shoe is personalized with ‘Ray’’ embroidery on the inside of the shroud.
