Space Jam: A New Legacy is streaming now and fans of all ages can finally thrill to the all-star matchup of LeBron James and Bugs Bunny, among other animated Looney Tune faves.
The film, a long-awaited sequel of the 1996 original Space Jam, starring that other superstar hoops legend, Michael Jordan, started streaming exclusively on HBO Max, beginning at 3:01 a.m. ET on Friday, July 16. Space Jam: A New Legacy promises to take us on a fun, imaginative journey–all while celebrating its cinematic and basketball glory. Which is why it should be no surprise that Nike is teaming up with the movie to introduce a commemorative footwear collection you can shop for inspiration.
“The biggest moment in the movie for our characters is the final game,” says Carter. “It culminates into this epic showdown with real consequences for everyone playing. The game matters. So when a kid sees the characters wearing Nike gear, their imagination makes the connection that Nike gives you the tools to uncover the best version of yourself,” says Space Jam: A New Legacy Producer Maverick Carter.
And what a set of tools they are. From snazzy LeBron kicks to colorful Converse, you’ll want to get in on this fun, colorful footwear before it’s sold out.
