Air Costume Designer Charlese Antoinette Jones On Turning Research Into Reward

Air tells the origin story of the best-selling sneaker of all time. Nike’s 1984 courtship and subsequent deal with then-rookie Michael Jordan would go on to become perhaps the most consequential brand partnership in sports history, and thanks to director Ben Affleck, screenwriter Alex Convery, and the rest of the cast and crew, audiences can see the mostly true story of Jordan’s Nike deal come to life. What’s more, the film successfully transports viewers back in time, with a soundtrack full of early 1980s hits and a mostly period-accurate attention to detail.
