When the NBA comes to London it’s a coming together of sports, music and style, with transatlantic guests sampling the best that London has to offer. Three-time All-Star, former teammate of Michael Jordan and renowned sneakerhead Rip Hamilton was in town for the game and took the opportunity to visit a fellow Jordan obsessive. London-based collector Gerard Starkey’s stunning collection of Jordans includes a haul of signed, game-worn Player Exclusives – an unrivalled treasure trove that even includes the Air Jordan XI worn by Jordan in Space Jam. However, it was Gerard’s Air Jordan III collection that caught Rip’s eye. Boasting three signed Player Edition pairs – the White/Infra Red, the White/True Blue and the White Cement – Gerard and Rip bonded over a mutual admiration for the iconic silhouette, reminiscing over its place in NBA Slam Dunk Contest history. Rip sealed a new friendship by gifting Gerard with a box-fresh pair of Black Cement Air Jordan III, a colourway that had previously eluded Gerard.
