AIR: The Story That Offers Rare Glimpse into Michael Jordan’s Life

AIR offers a unique perspective on the creation of the iconic shoe and the inception of sneaker culture that followed. Interestingly, the film doesn’t show Michael’s face which, according to Ben Affleck, was on purpose. He explained that it was more interesting to show the way our heroes and gods operate in our lives rather than to pretend and tell them that it’s Michael Jordan. “They’re larger than life and the audience brings their imagination and memory to it,” Ben added.

Directed by Ben Affleck and produced by Amazon Studios, Skydance Sports, Mandalay Pictures, and Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity, AIR is currently streaming on Prime Video.
