It’s been 20 years since Michael Jordan donned a Chicago Bulls jersey on the court. Due to Michael Jordan’s allegiance to Nike and the NBA’s previous uniform deal with Adidas and Reebok before them, Chicago Bulls jerseys bearing the GOAT’s name and number have been few and far between. Now that Nike and the NBA have an agreement on uniforms, fans and avid collectors can rock greatness once again. In celebration of the upcoming 10-part docuseries The Last Dance produced by ESPN and Netflix examining Jordan and the Bulls historic run of the 90s Nike has dropped a commemorative authentic Michael Jordan jersey.

The jersey comes encased in a display box for immediate enshrinement. This jersey is the epitome of NBA gear, it’s drenched in all of the best features and technology as well as the highest-quality production. Being part of the Nike Authentics series means that it features sewn on detailing as opposed to printed material for increased lightness should you choose to take it to the court and invoke your inner Air Jordan.

Nike even updated the jersey with modern NBA features including the moisture wicking technology and NikeConnect features which will allow owners of the jersey to access exclusive content related to The Last Dance docu-series before it drops next year. The Last Dance features hours of never before seen footage of His Airness and the Bulls providing an in-depth look at one of the most dominant runs in NBA history. There is also a Swingman Home jersey in the white that doesn’t feature the plethora of effects and game-changing details of the on-court authentic jersey perfect for the more casual fan of His Airness. If you want the drip like Jordan (but not the jump) this excellently crafted jersey that blends nostalgia with modern features to create not just a piece of gear for a fan but a full-blown fan experience
