On a black satin label, directly above the red Jumpman logo, the classic \u003cstrong\u003eNike text and Swoosh are embroidered in white thread\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1991 — the year Michael Jordan won his first NBA Championship with the Chicago Bulls — Nike was preparing to spin the Jordan line off into its own standalone brand. This double-branded label was in use for an \u003cstrong\u003eextremely short window in 1991 only\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the Nike text was removed entirely and only the Jumpman remained. This tag is the missing link between Nike and Jordan Brand. There is no cleaner way to describe it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Original Hardware — Cast Rubber\/Plastic Jumpman Zipper Pull\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket’s authenticity and value are sealed by its zipper: the original \u003cstrong\u003eOG cast rubber\/plastic three-dimensional Jumpman logo\u003c\/strong\u003e moulded directly onto the metal zipper body. Rubber and plastic pulls are the most vulnerable components of any vintage garment — they crack, split, and detach over decades. The fact that this jacket retains its \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal, intact, fully functional 1991 rubber hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e elevates it directly to the top tier of collector targets. This was Nike’s equivalent of the revolutionary moulded components on the Air Jordan VI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial, Cut \u0026amp; Silhouette\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a thin mesh jacket. It is constructed from a \u003cstrong\u003eheavyweight 65% polyester \/ 35% cotton blend\u003c\/strong\u003e — structured, substantial, and perfectly shape-retaining. The archival silhouette is a direct predecessor of contemporary high-end streetwear (Balenciaga, Yeezy, Fear of God): heavy drop shoulders, massive underarm volume, and a fitted waist rib that creates a perfect boxy, heavily draped profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colourway — \u003cstrong\u003edeep teal body with electric volt\/lime green Jumpman embroidery\u003c\/strong\u003e — was Nike’s early experimental 90s aesthetic at its most daring, and makes this jacket significantly more desirable than conventional red\/black versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nike \/ Air Jordan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Jordan “Flight”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavyweight bomber jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep teal with volt\/lime green Jumpman embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65% Polyester \/ 35% Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegistration:\u003c\/strong\u003e RN 56323\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9\/10 — Near Mint \/ Grail Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional archival condition — this jacket presents as essentially unworn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric has retained its structure and original fine sheen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibs are tight and fully intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours are at full vibrancy — both the deep teal and volt green are outstanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal care labels and registration number RN 56323 are fully legible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal rubber\/plastic Jumpman zipper pull is intact and fully functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe only reason this is a 9 rather than a 10 is the absence of original hang tags — the garment itself is flawless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo stains, no tears, no odour, no structural damage of any kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 1991 co-branded Nike\/Jordan transition-tag bomber in near-mint condition with original rubber hardware and a volt\/teal colourway.
