Haven’t found anything that shows both love of country and Air Jordans in the same place? You do now. I shot this yesterday at Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. It’s an American flag composed strictly of pairs of Air Jordans sneakers.
As tomorrow is Memorial Day, it’s the most patriotic thing that I’ve ever seen…with basketball shoes.
There’s a huge room which is completely empty xcept for a Jordan cut out, bunch of Air Jordans arranged like a flag pic.twitter.com/HswzOSNFWq

The Air Jordans are attached to the west wall of a giant empty room in the Basketball Hall of Fame. It’s a vast empty space that has nothing, save for the Air Jordans and a stand-up cardboard cut-out of Michael Jordan. It’s one of just two objects that I felt was actually worth taking a picture of at the Basketball Hall of Fame (yeah, it’s a place that’s certainly not worth the $21 price of admission, more on that here)
Here’s the other memorable, interesting object for people who visit from the state of Illinois:
Ok this is pretty cool. Not worth $21 or coming to a place like Springfield for, but still cool nonetheless pic.twitter.com/OZkQz2TtDS
