If you love shoes, if you have ever loved sports, or have heard the name Michael Jordan, you have to stream this movie on Prime Video. The movie Air is about the rise of the popular shoe brand Air Jordan and takes us back to the struggling days of the brand.
The story starts in 1984, Nike is facing somewhat of an identity crisis. So they had to pull something extraordinary out and so they did the exact. They put their stakes in for someone who is new to the big league and changed the game once and for all.
Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon) was in-charge to sign some new faces from the new NBA drafts. So he chose the rookie Jordon, a 21-year-old rookie who will define success in the upcoming future. He showed faith in young Jordon and the number says that it paid off. It is the story of belief, it is the story of the rise.
Matt Damon did a splendid job as he balanced humor with seriousness. Ben Affleck did wonders as Phil Knight. The movie also gives us the essence of David vs Goliath as Nike will slowly figure to fight against Adidas. It also has the perfect balance of comedy and drama with a good sense of cinematography.
If you are a true fan of the brand, this is just the move for you. But if you are somewhat of an MJ lover, skip this and time into the documentary The Last Dance, and if you are someone who wants to go back to the golden time of Good Will Hunting and want to see Damon and Affleck working together, you will definitely feel the wave of nostalgia.
