Jordan Brand has thought of the perfect way for us to stay “MOTIVIZED!” as Leroy Smith would say, by putting into production the Air Jordan I (1) Retro Leroy Smith. I mean, the man did motivate his Airness to become who he is today, so the least JB could do is give him a commemorative shoe. The Leroy Smiths feature a black leather base to go along with the black midsole, which rests atop a gumsole. The upper features colors of red, purple, and gold, to go along with the 80’s style of Leroy. The Leroy logo replaces the AJ symbol on the tongue tag to let ‘em know who’s boss. Stay tuned for more info on this historic shoe.

Leroy Smith is the man who motivated Michael Jordan. Known for his “Balltastic” skills on the court, Leroy Smith (played by Charlie Murphy) claims to beat out Jordan for the Varsity Team at Laney High School. From there, Smith says it best “After I beat out MJ for the last spot on our varsity team, he went on to become the greatest basketball player of all time”. You can play Leroy Smith’s video game here and at the official website you can watch motivational DVD’s with skills training, download wallpapers, and find other awesome stuff. Also available is an iPhone app, which you can purchase at the iTunes store now.
