A Sneakerhead's Thoughts on the Air Movie 

Crazy how this movie released on 4/5 2023 because Jordan once wore #45 & #23. What a coincidence!

This movie was amazing especially Sunny’s speech😢. I definitely do hope they make a second film just like you said with Tinker, that’ll be the cherry on top.

We need a Sequel for how the Jordan 3 kept Nike alive.

Your channel is the reason why I got into air Jordan sneakers and the way you educate people about the shoes is really awesome so thank you Chris and Jodi. Now I really want to go see this movie just because of your review of it.

You literally popped in my head when the Forums showed up. Totally remember how you said it could’ve been the “Jordan 1”.

Saw it last night. Such a great film! The nostalgia was great, the fact they didn’t show mike’s face was great, and I love how they portrayed Mrs Jordan as the powerful woman she is. The “be like mike” commercial at the end got me. Those were such great days.

I watched the pre-screening last week, and I was blown away. I laughed more than I thought I would’ve heading into the movie. AIR is definitely worth a second or third trip to the theater!

I thought Jason Batemans talk with Matt Damon about the sneakers and his daughter was great and then the quote. But the speech was the best part. I absolutely loved the movie

I liked the movie a lot, I remember watching the Sonny Vaccaro documentary on ESPN a few years ago, so I sort of had an idea of what to expect. This does look like a movie where you don’t necessarily have to like sneakers or even know about sneakers. It’s a nice, feel good kind of movie. Watching the sneaker shopping episode with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Chris Tucker was also great to see, it felt very genuine that they liked being around each other

I liked that they mentioned Charles Barkley in it since he did actually become a Nike athlete. I cracked up when that Nike exec made that jab about Chuck being terrible for TV.

Ok Chris my opinion on the movie and plus I’m a OG sneaker head at 48 I didn’t have too study Micheal Jordan I live his moments coming in the NBA shoes were too expensive for my single father so when I got up n age I bought my own😊 but besides that the movie wasn’t that great for several reasons….I hope they leave it alone glad Jordan’s staying at the price they are people though movie would impact the market so thank god of that…one thing for sure that Nike has to do better with is there own marketing and supply demand too keep the shoe market at a sustainable price back door and resellers killing the fuk out the market

Loved the movie. Made me appreciate my Jordans a lot more. The rich history of small company making it big. Gotta love an underdog story.

My girlfriend and I went Saturday. She went mostly because she knows I'm a sneaker head and we both loved it. It finally got her to binge the last dance. Then it gave me a chance to drop a little sneaker history in her 😊😊

Speaking of the history of the movie and how good it was. I really hope we get to watch your channel grow and last the way air Jordan has because I’ve been watching your videos for over 10 years and I grew up on your videos and I honestly hope you do this for the rest of your life because everybody loves you! Keep it up!

I really enjoyed the movie, very impressed with how they made a movie where everyone knows how it ends still be fun & entertaining throughout 👏

The manifestation of a blueprint that revolves around the greatness of Jordan is something truly appreciated. Love the scenes with Peter Moore and the thoughts / ideas on the Chicago 1.

Mrs. Wing, aside from being a cutie, is a great editor of these videos.

The one thing i really wanted to see from this movie was how Peter Moore got the Air Jordan Wings logo, because the story was told how he looked at a flight attendant's pin and then sketch the wings with the basketball in the center and used it as his centerpiece for micheal's air jordan line. Also Sonny's speech that shows Micheal into the future with his performance, the free throw line dunk, him sitting down with jordan brand shoes, him falling from a new york knicks game in 1995 (i think) and seeing that greatness he was talking about almost got me teary eyed. Amazing performance from Matt Damon.

Good call! A Tinker story would be very cool! He is almost as influential to Nike (and really sneaker culture) as MJ and too many people have never heard of him.

You guys are the best in the game, Mr. and Mrs. Wing. Signed, the people.

21:17 you guys do do 😅 a great job, nah it never gets old. Thanks to you guys along with several other RU-vidrs this year I've officially become a sneakerhead at the mature age of 37 (or it's a midlife crisis 3 years too early😂) bought my 1st Jordans AJ1s in May, it's September now, i have 18! In different colourways of course, i always wanted them as a kid in High School but the struggle was real, always thought of myself as a sneakerhead but getting my first AJ1s this year made it official. Keep up the good work guys! You both make a great team, keep sniffin those kicks! Love from Manchester, UK.

I had to see it as soon as it dropped so I went at 11am lol I have to agree this is now one of my favorite movies because Nike has been a part of my life since I was 8 when I got my first jordan’s. I was emotional man and I never expected to be 😂😂

Yeah I loved it, like you said the casting was spot on. Ben and Matt are always awesome together. I back your sequel idea too, I'm pretty sure most sneakerheads would have thought about that. I'd call it "Tinker"

I feel as though they dropped the ball on marketing this movie. You did more in 20 mins than they did in the months leading up to this movie. As a sneakerhead, i felt as though i should be more excited about this movie, and im not. You did it for me. I will go watch now. And profit over passion sold me. I want to see what that fight looked like at the beginning.

Man a sequel would be straight 🔥

Went to the theatre yesterday to watch the movie. I wore my Air Jordan’s 1 high Lost and Found. I enjoyed the movie. The only thing I noticed that no one was wearing any Air Jordan’s shoes and I learned what PUMA stands for.

I agree 100% with everything you touched on. Awesome film. I was born in 79 so it brought back so many memories. Nostalgic piece of art.

More than commenting on the Movie I will focus on the Chris bit right before the end about "reviewing the same shoe over and over again..." I been following the channel a bunch of years now from the time it was just Chris and a camera looking at the shoes. I really love them, specifically the basketball ones, I'm old enough to remember them when they pop up first time, old enough to have stop playing ball for physicals reasons and still buying them anyways because I simply love them. But the Jordan1 thing is something quite difficult for me to fully understand. They are no comfy, the usually get bad materials & bad QC. And this is coming from a huge Jordan fan... Why I watch the channel when nowadays is about the Jordan1 most of the time? For when you get a review of something different that is not on a different channel because is no hype enough or is downright uncool these days (AND1, Puma, Rebook etc.) but most of all because I really like you guys, you really seem to like the shoes truly... shout out tho the WearTesters Spanish channel too!

Love the review and perspectives from the movie and yourself as a sneakerhead!

#weartesters, #sneakerheads, #airjordanbrandsneakers, #thegoatmj23, #blackjesus, #michaeljordan23. #nike, #air I love the movie. ❤️🎦🎥👌🙏💪💯😊👟🇵🇭💖🏆🏅🐐🔥👍🏀⛹️‍♂️⛳🏌️‍♂️.

Pay homage to the individual that made every Athlete rich.. Delores jordan!!!

Nightwing still wishing Batfleck was still Batman is music to my ears for someone who loves Batfleck. I can't wait to see this movie tomorrow!

Spoiler, jordan signs with nike

Dude your review was spot on. I felt the exact same way about this movie, except I only got choked up 2 times. We always don’t agree on certain kicks but we certainly agree on this movie. It was a great flashback to the 80’s and a great explanation of a very interesting and important time of sneaker head history. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

I hope to have Tinker Hatfield and Sandy Bodecker biopics one of these days, but not as a sequels to this film.

Movie was amazing. I almost cried too as well. Growing up into sneakers and history behind it was amazing to see the story on the big screen. 11/10.

"Air bud 2!" "Losing aiir!" Man those jokes were clutch 😂

Nice vid. Totally agree with smelling your new sneakers. My first Jordan was the OG Infrared 6's that I purchased with my newspaper delivery money (yes, I actually had a paper route as a 7th grader). Every time I get new pair of any shoe, I remember how excited I was to lace up my first pair of J's. Going to see it this Friday.

The fire alarm went off in my theater, and the entire building got evacuated. So I missed the last 5-10 minutes...

Just finish seeing the movie and it's great... Sunny speech is amazing

Almost cried!? Man, I DID cry, a couple of times.

I just watched the movie just walked out of the theatre typing this that was one of the best sports movies of all time set the president or be cursed in following the path

In my opinion, if you grew up being a real fan of Jordan , his shoes, his life then it’s a great movie. The whole movie was about conversations, meetings, and phone calls so with that being this is only for some people, overall it was a nice movie 👍

Excited to come back and watch this. Can't imagine there are spoilers of things I don't already know, but I'm gonna wait till I see it to watch. A like and comment for the algorithm tho❤

Well look who is famous..........just saw you on the newest watch mojo video

I was just about to comment on your last video asking if you guys have seen Air, then I see this video in my feed, perfect timing lol

not watching your review until I see the movie!

I watched a pre-screening of this here in Vegas and I truly loved it ❤. All the actors truly felt like they put their all and had fun

sonnys speech was amazing, it basically foretold jordans future. the footage scenes of all his life controversies and downs. just amazing! 💯

The movie was amazing. I got choked up on the speech by Matt Damon (Sonny Vacarro) as well. I wonder how much of that was actual. It was good. The ending with the jump man silhouette got me hyped too. I also watched Super Mario Bros today in 4DX where the seats move and you get sprayed with water and everything and it too was amazing! It was a good nostalgic day for me getting to see both movies. Both two thumbs up for sure.

As I was watching this movie, I couldn't help but think all of my training and teachings from Nightwing and MJO23DAN has led me to this. It was fun knowing the story while I was watching it. Great history and very well done. Though I still feel they didn't make Sonny quite scumbaggy enough. Haha. Also, we thought the same thing about a potential sequel. I was between telling the story of the 3 and how Adidas fumbled the bag with LeBron. Sonny has some insane stories to tell.

Love this channel 🥹 shoutout nightwing and ms nightwing

Watched this last night in a pair of Concord 11s lol, loved the movie from start to end, the soundtrack was fantastic, all of the actors were brilliant. Affleck did a really good job of making me feel like we’re in the ‘80s getting a first hand account of what Nike was going through at the time. I think I understand Jodi’s critique of Marlon Wayans’ scene; while I believe the cinematography was intended, in order to help express the emotion from that moment, it still felt a little contrived.

Spoilers... Nike gets Jordan LOL

Something I’ve always said… “Nike the Brand>>>>>Nike the Company.”

The falling shoe and zoom on Ms. Wing's facial expressions was so funny, watched it several times :D

BEEN WAITING TO WATCH. SEEN IT TODAY AND WAS AMAZING !!!

Just saw the movie today with my daughter. On the way home, I kid you not, I said they should make a sequel. I said to her, almost verbatim, what you said in this review. Great minds think alike.

Anyone else thinks that the thumbnail looks exactly like Rose Anvil? No? Just me? Oh well 😢

Just got myself a pair of 1998 jordan 13 bred the first shoe I was told as a child I couldn't have I now own 3 pairs 2012, 2016, and 1998 by far the 1998 makes the childhood in me smile. I absolutely cannot wait to see this movie this weekend spoilers or not amazing review Chris

Great to hear both your opinions on the movie. After watching it, my wife wanted to watch “the last dance” again. Then I showed her espn’s 30 for 30 documentary “sole man” that has Sonny Vaccaro talk about his story. To me it seemed like the movie was focused on Sonny, so my pitch for the sequel should be the firing of Sonny at Nike, him and Peter Moore working for Adidas and signing Kobe and helping the lakers trade for him.

Bro I almost cried hella times too. 😂

Michael Jordan’s Playground was the best ever Jordan production.

my notes on your video: 1) best line: "THOSE WERE BRANDS, THIS WAS A MAN." that line was awesome it makes you realize why he is the GOAT. its not just stats or chips. it was what he was to the game. it was how he inspired people who are now HOFs. 2) it would be expensive for them to have a title "AIR JORDAN" they would have to pay brand royalties right? 3) if they did make a sequel, maybe the end credits scene would be how Ben Affleck makes a pitch to Michael Jordan to be in the movie... #justsayin 4) awesome review!!!

it's a pretty shitty movie in terms of story but since it's Matt Damon, Jason Bateman and Ben Lopez, it was an alright watch.

It's Yo Love 🕳 🔥 🏌🏿‍♂️

Antioch, Freemont, ,Pittsburgh, Concord, Milpitas, Fairfield... Where the hell is Monument blvd???

I love your idea of a sequel 👍🏼👍🏼

Really great movie! Music was great throughout the movie .... my 12 yr old son loves it as well .. because he loves "AIR" Jordan's ... and literally got me back into buying Jordan's again for him and me! (So expensive) I bought my first Jordan's back in 89 AJ 4's (Both) brought back so many memories! ... and Sonny's speech! 😢

Unfortunately Affleck dont know anything about kicks from what i can tell, thanks for the review looking forward to seeing it. Great channel keep doing what you're doing brother ❤

No way Ben Affleck directed this movie it was too good lol. Wondered what his Batman movie would’ve looked like🥲

OK…FULL DISCLOSURE! I want to go watch the movie but not sure why I’ve been hesitant. Until now……Thank you for putting this up because I just realized why. I wasn’t sure if they were going to tell the story accurately or “Thomas Edison the tale and not include Nikola Tesla in the discovery of Alternating Current electricity supply system” type situation. So hearing it from you, Chris, a person I know that knows the history of the brand as well as I do…maybe even better and what things were like landscape wise during that time and hearing your thoughts about the movie, just convinced me to go watch it. 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯✊🏽🤓

THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!! I skipped the movie cuz the trailer looked like an SNL skit and I thought it was gonna be corny. But now I’m gonna check it out

If they don't know who "NightWing" is, are they really SneakerHeads?

I also noticed that Matt Damon had a little blue car on his desk... A Shelby Cobra actually... and it's kind of a private joke because he portrayed Carroll Shelby on Ford V Ferrari ! And also, they made a few funny comments on the fact that Stockton comes from Gonzaga University... I suppose it's a wink towards Jimmy Kimmel, who jokes a lot about the existence of that particular university

I’m gonna be the 1st to say this, You are 1 reason this movie exists. In the past 15 years sneaker collecting has grown and diversified past comic book collecting (I used to collect comics). So without you the attention and spotlight to our favorite sub culture wouldn’t of birthed this movie. From Niketalk to putting into the universe the platform for this movie to exist is big🙏🏽👍🏽🤟🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Sonny Vaccaro almost had Lebron in Adidas. They decided last minute not to give Bron $100M. Which sent him directly to Nike.

Love your channel man. However, I just got done watching this movie. I remembered that you posted this & I went searching for a place to “Air” my thoughts. I have just been through the worst trauma-inducing movie experience in recent history. They made a movie about a shoe… that’s not even about the shoe. It was a string together 2 hours of movie trope to movie trope, complete with the angry boss, the job is on the line, the visit to mama’s house, the we’ve been at the office all weekend. Oh man, I can’t believe what I just watched. If the executive branch still has that petition thing going on, I feel compelled to stop the nationwide marketing of this movie immediately. The next move I’m making is to book a therapy appt for EMDR to replace the memory of this movie with something, anything, slightly less painful. Really Chris Tucker, Botox? Come on man… If Matt Damon owns a single pair of Jordan’s I will personally shine them for the rest of his life. I digress. Again, love your channel, keep doing it.

Been waiting for this review on a sneakerheads point of view. I haven’t watched the movie yet because its not yet showing in my country yet (04/19 a Philippines) but because of your review, I will definitely watch this film because I am a fan of the brand and MJ as well.

Or another sequel could be called Zoom Air...further down the line. Loved the review! Loved the movie! And both of you are definitely doing a fantastic job - like you said, we stick around!

Great movie. Solid performances from Matt Damon and viola Davis. They do a really good job immersing you into the 80s. I thought this movie wasn’t going to be my thing because i went in thinking “how fun can this movie be? It’s two businessmen trying to make money in their business.” But the story is well laid out, the pacing is great and the actors and actresses did an amazing job. Well worth the watch

Tinker Hatfield? He only made all the Jordan's? Pete must made the first pair. And they put Hakeem not Akeem.

Just came home from the cinema…absolutely loved it….Like Moneyball this will be a movie a will be watching over and over…🥰

Hey Bro nice review could this be a theme now reviewing sport movies? Good Job y’all👍🏾

FYI - in regards of the sequal idea - WT team should be hired for our insight

Just came back from watching the movie. It was really good.

Viola Davis is an amazing actress she could just be in a movie and not speak and only express emotion and stuff silently and still know what she's portraying.

Hear me out hear me out hear me out In the sequel, Michael B Jordan plays Michael Jordan

I stopped watching this video at 1:35 minutes in because now I’m excited especially talking bout that space jam intro. I remember buying that movie at blockbuster it came with a silver coin. I can always trust wearetesters for good reviews but don’t want to spoil it.

Also for some reason Iv always seen and heard Gonzaga when watching basketball and so on, but till I saw this movie I didn't even know Gonzaga was in Spokane Washington I always never thought about it and just assumed it was in the mid west somewhere lol 😆

Not a fan Matt Damon's movie list. He specifically picks years where there's very little if no black actors are included. As the producer and director. So this is surprising. 2 comedians tho? 😂😂😂

I'm watching this weeks after the release of the video but I believe the "in and out of focus" in the bar scene was intentional to showcase where Matt Damon's character was at mentally at that point in time.

Love the sequel idea, are we casting Michael B. Jordan to play the role of Michael J. Jordan?

Air was a really good movie, but we don’t need a “Sneaker-verse” so no sequel please.

Great breakdown! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the community! I don't have anyone to speak sneakers with where I live so hearing yall talk about this and all the reviews yall do is fulfilling in a sort of way. MAD PROPS!

Really missed seeing you and Mrs. Wing in front of the camera together 😄. Great video

Great review thank you as always for your insight and passion

@14:14 That look on Chris’ face when she said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to watch it again 😂 I finally got around to seeing it. Absolutely my favorite movie to drop in the last year. Probably up there as one of my favorite biopics of all time for sure ☝🏾

Matt, Ben and Chris were on Sneaker Shopping with Complex.

Just saw it again, and it was amazing, when they reveal the AJ1 Chicago, I got chills
