MJ

One of the most recognized logos

In the past 20 years, Jumpman has sold sneakers, shirts, hats, socks, wristbands, backpacks, Nike and anything else that may be attached to Jumpman. I bet you put a pair of trapeze shoes on shit and they still sell!

But his achievement did not happen overnight...

Our journey traces the path to the infamous 1984 Jumpman logo. The movement of the Jumpman logo is actually a ballet movement performed by Mike in a studio silhouette, not a dunk as you might imagine.

The following is part of a conversation about the creation of the logo with Mike Jumpman from an April 1997 interview with HOOP Magazine.

"I?wasn't?even?dunking?on?that?one.?I?didn't even dunk in there.

People?think?that?I?was.? People thought I jumped.

I?just?stood?on?the?floor,?jumped?up?and?spread?my?legs?and?they?took?the?picture.< /p>

I?wasn't?even?running.

I just stood on the floor, jumped up and spread my feet and they took the picture.

Everyone?thought?I?did?that?by?running?and?taking?off.?Actually,?it?was?a?ballet?move?where?I?jumped?up?and?spread ?my?legs.Everyone thought I did it by running. In fact, I just jumped on the spot and spread my legs.

And?I?was?holding?the. ?ball?in?my?left?hand." Then I grabbed the ball with my left hand.

Not many people know that the original idea for the trapeze logo came from an old photo of Mike from the 1984 Olympics Life magazine.

Kobe’s LOGO was designed by NIKE. The three directions represent offense, defense, and and leaders. ?It can also be considered as the Lakers' triangle offense. As for the design idea, it revolves around the K letter at the beginning of Kobe’s name. This is what the official said! ?But I didn’t see it!

I hope it goes as you wish.
