How Michael Jordan’s Superstition Inspired The Nike Jordan Why Not ZER04 “Lucky Shorts”

It’s hard to believe that an alpha athlete like Michael Jordan had is own quirks and pre-game rituals. Whether it be a time-sensitive routine or a good luck charm, practicing superstition is rather common among the world’s competitors as a means to reduce anxiety and nerves before big games. For Jordan, it was his college shorts that he wore before every game, a tradition that inspired the upcoming Nike Jordan Why Not ZER04 “Lucky Shorts”.

Air Jordan 11 Low 72-10 Releasing Summer 2022 “Lucky Shorts” Jordan 3s feature a clean white leather upper with touches of a light Photon Dust grey on the toe-guard and heel, while a super-soft shade of Hydrogen Blue fills in the interior while coloring in the Jumpman logo on the tongue. The iconic University Blue, taken from MJ’s college tenure, appears boldly painted on the heel as well as the Jumpman Air emblem on the rear plate. Behind the tongue is a new label mimicking those found on basketball shorts; the numbers and details call out the years this odd superstition was in practice.

The History Of The “Lucky Shorts”

For the unfamiliar, this Nike Jordan Why Not ZER04 is inspired by Michael Jordan’s superstition of wearing his UNC practice shorts under his actual game shorts in the NBA. The reason behind this quirk was because MJ wore these same shorts in 1982 when he guided the UNC Tar Heels to the National Championship with a late-game go-ahead jumpshot that would seal the deal. Jordan commonly wore the shorts during the 1987-1988 season, which led Jordan Brand to apply the concept on the Nike Jordan Why Not ZER04.
