The Air Jordan Sixty Plus became the touchstone sneakers for Jordan fans everywhere. Commemorating the basketball god’s ability to score numerous points in one game sure does deserve its own shoe.
And now the new Air Jordan Sixty Plus Grape edition not only remembers the good ol’ days, but also the shoes that commemorated those days. It is like the spork (the spoon and fork) in one combo, but these are game- and previous shoe-celebrating shoes. I know, it doesn’t make much sense, but they look really rad.
