Twelve years ago, Ray Allen went to his first Olympic Games and
earned a Gold Medal for USA, leading the team in scoring during the
opening preliminary game against China and tying for the team lead in
points during the Gold Medal game against France. The fifth-year veteran
got his first taste of mainstage victory with that Gold Medal, as an
NCAA National Championship and NBA Championship eluded him up until that
point. It was during this Olympic run that Ray Allen sported the Air Jordan VI ‘Olympic’, bringing the Gold standard to the Jumpman brand that signed him on as one of its future faces. The original 2000 version
of this colorway remains one of the most highly sought-after
collectibles in the Air Jordan catalog, and tomorrow, a Retro release
with minor differences will hit stores, giving Air Jordan fans new and
old to revisit this iconic moment in Ray’s career.
