Nike Air Jordan II — "Parachute Not Included" — 1987 Original Print Ad

A genuine 1987 magazine print ad for the Nike Air Jordan II, featuring the legendary "Parachute Not Included" campaign — one of the most iconic advertisements in sneaker history. The Air Jordan II launched in 1986 amid the NBA's ban on Jordan wearing the shoes due to the black and red colorway violating uniform rules. Nike paid the $5,000 per-game fine for Jordan to keep wearing them — and "Parachute Not Included" captured the defiant, gravity-defying spirit of that moment perfectly. This ad ran during the height of the Jordan phenomenon, before he'd won his first championship, when he was already the most electrifying player the game had ever seen. An original piece of sneaker culture history. Carefully removed from its original magazine. Ready to frame.
