‘Air’ Review: Ben Affleck Directs An A-List Ensemble In His Latest Film About How Air Jordans Sneakers Were Made And Popularized – SXSW - Deadline

Vaccaro steps over the chain of command and flies to North Carolina to talk to Jordan’s parents Delores (Davis) and James (Tennon).

With two shoe endorsement meetings coming up with Adidas and Converse, Sonny asks Jordan’s mother to reconsider talking to Nike, and warns her about what to expect when speaking to the other companies.

With the Nike CEO, Falk and Strasser breathing down his neck to close the deal or lose his job, Vaccaro deploys clever maneuvers to secure the client and stay employed.

A staple of his visual style is desaturated scenes that utilize a mix of green and blue, which fits the tone of his earlier work.

Seeing Air, and how the world’s most popular sneaker came into existence, makes me think about the fact that people are now stealing, killing and dying for a pair.
