What could make life better than signing a $6 million dollar plus endorsement deal with Jordan? Well, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Blake Griffin PE that was released in 2015 definitely sweetens the deal for Los Angeles Clippers star and former NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner, Blake Griffin. BG initially signed with Jordan Brand back in 2012 after initially signing with Nike out of college. His contract with Jordan Brand meant becoming the face of the Jordan Super.Fly, but when he’s not emulating the Jumpman logo in pre-game warm ups, Blake has his own player edition Air Jordan 1. The Blake Griffin Jordan 1 launch date was shuffled last minute when it originally released, which may have initially kept this colorway from pushing numbers the way other Jordan 1s do out of the gate. The Jordan 1 Blake Griffin edition came in a familiar colorway of Gym Red/Black-White but featured a nubuck-like upper surrounding the leather toebox and a mesh tongue, something you don’t see often on the Air Jordan 1. However, there is something else that made this AJ1 unique and significantly different than others.
