1987 Air Jordan Sweatshirt

Nike's 1987 Air Jordan apparel capsule sat at a specific pivot point in Michael Jordan's early career — the second signature window, the year of his first Slam Dunk Contest title in Seattle (February 1987) and the start of the five-season MVP-and-scoring-title run that defined his pre-championship profile. This white cotton crewneck comes from that production year and carries one of the most visually inventive graphic treatments in the entire early Air Jordan apparel program. Michael Jordan's full facsimile signature is scripted in black down the center of the chest at near-poster scale, while both sleeves run a pair of basketball-court references in dense knit intarsia: scalloped red arcs circling the upper arm (styled after the layered netting of a basketball rim) transitioning into a full black-and-white chain-link net pattern that covers the forearm from shoulder to wrist. A woven Wings-era satin patch sits at the lower-right front hem reading "1987," and the red Nike tag at the collar confirms the specific pre-Jumpman-split production window.
