RECAP: Black Enterprise Celebrates Hoops, Good Food And Team USA In Chicago

One of the crowning achievements of the week was NIKE’s special exhibit of historic footwear and apparel. Taking place at the Chicago Park District’s 63rd Street Beach House, NIKE, myself, and others all marveled at the new Jumpman 29, as well as throwbacks like the Air Force One and memorabilia from NIKE’s heyday.

The museum, which was nicknamed the ‘Hall Of Game,’ by myself and Armando Vargas, housed some classic moments in pop culture and basketball history. The puppet from Kobe vs. LeBron was there, as well as a still shot from Mose Malone’s debut ad with NIKE.

For the city of Chicago, it was a chance to see just how special their basketball community is with selected memorials to specific basketball landmarks that forever will be cherished by Win City.
