For those who may not be familiar with the film, Tron (2010) is a visionary sci-fi film by Joseph Kosinski, featuring performances by the beloved Jeff Bridges and Garrett Hedlund. The spectacularly creative movie throws our chief character, an everyday computer programmer, into a dazzling digital world known as ‘The Grid’. There, he is thrust into a high-stakes battle against a malevolent artificial intelligence in hopes of saving his father and escaping to the real world.
Not only was the film commended for its breathtaking visual effects and pioneering use of 3D technology, but it also poignantly honoured its 1982 predecessor, the original Tron film. And, of course, we can’t seem to forget the stunning light cycle races and the iconic glowing suits worn by the characters. So, how could we resist the idea of creating Air Jordan sneakers carrying the visual imprint of this eye-catching motion picture?
