To honor Michael Jordon’s impact on basketball and mark his 60th birthday, Stance Studio in Miami crafts a weighty in-house CG tribute film featuring artist Matthew Senna’s solid-gold Air Jordan 10 OVO’s.

Director and CG artist Blvckstance (Alexander Protsyuk): “The film aims to showcase Michael Jordan’s journey to perfection through his most significant victories, using the iconic monologue from his 2014 Nike ad, ‘Maybe it’s my fault’.

“We deliberately chose the Solid Gold OVO Air Jordan because the contrasting black and gold images perfectly reflect the changes on the road to victory. We also opted out of any animations or flights of the shoes themselves to better convey confidence and steadfastness. Additionally, we added stone textures to reinforce the feeling of solidity and immovability – we believe these images are a perfect fit for Jordan.”

The Solid Gold OVO Air Jordan sneakers were created by Los Angeles-based mixed media artist Matthew Senna and sold at auction in 2016 for $2 million, they are currently owned by Drake.
