The Nike AlphaDunk Honors Aaron Gordon’s Epic Mascot Dunk

Select Model

AG WAS ROBBED.

Over the years, Nike Basketball athletes have continued to defy the laws of gravity around the rim. From Vince Carter’s Slam Dunk Contest win, way back to MJ’s free-throw line dunk, Nikehas been on their feet. For decades, the brand has been cultivating a solid back catalog of dunks, and now the all-new AlphaDunk “Library of Bounce” line looks to honor some of the Swoosh’s most memorable Air moments. And Aaron Gordan’s All-Star dunk sits right at the top of that list.

In case of y’all forgot, and even if you didn’t, here it is again in all of its unbelievability:

Aside from the Magic-themed colorway, there are a handful of other embellishments that shout out that epic dunk; the insole print reading “Pure Magic: The First of it’s Kind”, and a special Flight motif (borrowed from Jordan Brand) on the right she’s medial heel, in reference to Gordon’s epic flight path.

Take a peep a the Nike AplhaDunk “Aaron Gordon” below, and pairs have been reported to release on August 9th at select Swoosh stockists like Foot Locker, as well as Nike.comfor $170.
