Since Michael Jordan signed with Nike at the beginning of his illustrious career, his signature Air Jordan shoes have redefined the world of athletic footwear. Signature sneakers are now a major part of an athlete’s global brand, and they also help change the course of casual fashion. Every release of a new version of the Jordans is a basketball event. 自从迈克尔•乔丹在事业辉煌时期和耐克公司签约,署名“飞人乔丹”的鞋就被重新定义为世界上的运动鞋。现在,署名运动鞋是运动员全球品牌的一个主要部分,并且他们还改变了休闲时尚的发展。乔丹的每一个新品发布都是一个篮球界大事件。
On Monday afternoon, Nike and Jordan Brand released their latest incarnation, the Jordan XX 8( aka 28, for those of you don’ t recognize both Roman and Arabic numerals) in New York City. As you can see in the photo, it’s a bold design that’s already generating controversy. From the outside, the sneaker looks something like a black rain overshoe, with a zipper that encloses the entire inside. Underneath, however, the dominant color is a distinct neon green. 周一下午在纽约市,耐克和乔丹品牌发布了他们最新的研发品牌,乔丹 XX 8(对那些不认识罗马和阿拉伯数字的人来说,又叫 28)。正如图片所示,这是一个引发争议的大胆设计。从外面看,这双运动鞋外表看来像黑色的雨套鞋,拉链把鞋的内部给封住了。但是在里层,主导颜色是一种独特的霓虹绿。
The shoes, devised by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield over the course of two years, retail for a cool $250. 这双鞋由耐克传奇设计师哈特•菲尔德用了两年的时间设计,零售价是 250美元。
