Team USA had one goal in mind this summer in Beijing - redemption. A series of disappointing outings at FIBA World Championships as well as the Athens Games gave the team something to prove. The Gold Medal was won in Beijing and the US can claim to be the best in the world once again. So Brand Jordan has released the Air Jordan Retro 1 (Olympic) to pay tribute to the team’s efforts. Colors are on point drawing inspiration from the iconic Air Jordan 7 “Olympic” that MJ wore while dominating the world in Barcelona. Released September 13, 2008.
