Just unveiled as part of Nike Basketball’s “Art Of A Champion” Collection, we now bring you official images of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Pass The Torch” inspired by Kawhi Leonard. With a lineup characterized by savvy but aging veterans, the Spurs were supposed to be the old men against the Heat’s more youthful, star-powered Big Three in the Finals. In just his third season, unassuming Kawhi Leonard completely changed that narrative in Game 3 with electric and athletic play, dropping 29 points that secured the W. His performance not only gave San Antonio the edge in the series they ultimately won 4-1, but also helped him earn Finals MVP and redirect talk of the Spurs from the proud past to the bright future. The Jordan I “Pass the Torch” honors Kawhi Leonard’s unassuming rise to NBA Finals MVP.
