Iconic Details:

Hand-Numbered

Each of the 1,000 Ultimate editions is individually hand-numbered, underscoring the rarity of this collector’s piece.

Collector’s Accessories

Each Air Jordan Ultimate Edition includes a custom red-and-black tote bag adorned with the iconic Wings emblem. A pair of white handling gloves, also marked with the Wings motif, accompany the book. The white gloves are intended for handling the book with care, preserving the art-quality materials that define its craftsmanship for years to come.

Complimentary Scarf

Crafted in Italy exclusively for this Ultimate Edition, the oversized silk scarf centers on the iconic Jumpman logo, framed by ornamental motifs and the Wings emblem. Presented in custom elephant-print tissue within a matte black, gold-foil stamped box, it pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s lasting influence on luxury fashion.

Legacy Within

Housed beneath the book inside the intricately tooled clamshell, the scarf rests in its own custom case, designed as part of the Ultimate’s layered presentation. Once removed, six gold rings are revealed within the base of the clamshell, symbolizing Michael Jordan’s six championship rings.
