“It’s Jordan Brand. There’s not much to be said. This brand embodies basketball, style, and a desire to win and the desire to be great.”

  Trae Young on joining Jordan Brand

When you look at the Jumpman, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
 
Trae Young: When I look at the Jumpman, the first thing that comes to mind is the culture. Jordan Brand sets the tone for hoops culture and personifies greatness. The Jumpman really speaks for itself and I’m excited join the family.
 
What did it feel like the first time you put on a pair of Jordans?
 
As a kid, you always dream of lacing up in your first pair of Jordans. You put on that first pair, you feel invincible and like you can take on the world. As a kid, I always puffed out my chest a bit more when I had my Jordans on.

“I’m grateful MJ did that for people like myself, and my goal is to try and continue that legacy for the young kids, including my brother…”

  Trae on Michael Jordan’s impact on his life

What’s it feel like now to put them on knowing you’re part of the Jordan Family?
 
Being a Jordan Brand athlete and putting on my Jordans again feels great. Joining this family, is a full circle moment and an honor that I am so excited for.
 
What’s one rule you think everyone should break?
 
Following the pack and blindly following others. To be great, you have to step outside of your comfort zone even if that means facing criticism or being ridiculed.

 
People always say you’ve got to wait your turn. What do you say to that?
 
I say you’ve gotta be aggressive, get yours, and pave your own path. Every day is a new opportunity to work hard. As I like to say, it’s always Another Day Another Opportunity. Waiting your turn is never going to get you where you want to go to achieve your dreams!
