Why has Tyler Reddick covered the Air Jordan logo with ribbons?

In addition to the Air Jordan logoes covered with black ‘tape’, the words ‘Ubannable’ are also included in the car, and that is the name of the campaign behind the paint scheme.

‘Ubannable’ is a global campaign intended to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Air Jordan 1, as well as the controversy that surrounded it.

As such, every time Jordan went to court in sneakers, he was fined $ 5,000 by the NBA.

Nike called on a larger marketing opportunity, and called on Jordan to continue to carry sneakers, pay the fines and result in the shoe getting the ‘forbidden’ roof.

The NBA was not happy, but again Nike used this to their advantage and developed their marketing strategy prior to the release of the shoe to the public around the ‘forbidden’ roof, with TV advertising running that censored Air Jordan logo -just like on Reddick’s car.
