Air (2023) DVD Cover. In the depths of 1984, the celluloid venture embarks on a journey delving into the arduous plight of Nike’s division dedicated to the art of basketball shoes. The division finds itself ensnared in the clutches of a grievous predicament, grappling with lackluster sales that cast shadows of uncertainty.

Sensing the need for a strategic maneuver, the esteemed Marketing Vice President, Rob Strasser, and the venerable CEO, Phil Knight, forge a pact that enlists the basketball virtuoso scout, Sonny Vaccaro, to embark on an odyssey in search of a fresh ambassador for their esteemed footwear.

While traversing the treacherous terrain of decision-making, Strasser and Knight initially deemed the enigmatic Michael Jordan, the coveted third pick in the draft, to be off-limits. The veil of exclusivity shrouded Jordan, who, in his sartorial allegiances, displayed a predilection for Adidas and Converse.

Yet, Vaccaro, with his unrivaled powers of persuasion, kindled a belief within the hearts of Strasser and Knight that Jordan was an unparalleled prodigy, a prodigious talent that transcended generations. It was an epiphany that ignited a fiery passion, propelling Nike to relentlessly pursue Jordan’s endorsement and endeavor to sway him toward embracing the Nike brand.
