Taking a look at the $80 million super yacht of Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend and the GOAT to many.

Derick Quinanola

There are a ton of perks when you're the richest athlete to ever step foot on Earth. Michael Jordan sold his basketball team for billions, a $29 million mansion that he doesn't mind hasn't been sold for almost a decade, one of the rarest cars in the world … The list goes on.

But one of the most expensive single purchases Jordan ever made with his money to date was on an $80 million yacht named ‘Joy'. What's more, that's not even the only yacht Jordan owns. He also has a $21 million yacht called ‘Mr. Terrible', which is pretty fitting when you compare the two yachts he has to his name.

First acquired by Jordan in 2016, the vessel spans 230 feet in length and outlines at almost 10 feet. Its maximum speed is 16 knots while its cruising speed is 12 knots. He was first spotted cruising with the yacht on his way to the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy with some of his closest friends. Lastly, the superstructure is built of Aluminum, the decks are made of Teak wood, and the entire ship is insulated with glass aluminum to accommodate the changing weather and was specially developed by Bannenberg & Rowell Designs.

Amenities inside Michael Jordan's yacht

Michael Jordan named this yacht Joy for a reason. Anything that can bring him or anyone joy can be found inside his yacht. For starters, it comes in five decks, eight cabins, an indoor jacuzzi, a movie theater, a spa, and a stunning dining room. One of the biggest perks of this yacht is the owner's pavilion. This is where you'll find the yacht's penthouse suite, personal office, and a terrace to check out the best views of the ocean.

If you plan to stay active while on the yacht, it has you covered too. It also comes with a gym and an indoor basketball court. After all, what more can you expect from the yacht of one of the greatest basketball players in the world?

When it comes to maintenance, Joy definitely doesn't come cheap. There's a crew of around 19 people onboard the ship 24/7 and costs $800,000 a week to maintain as per Marca . Luckily, this yacht isn't exclusive to Jordan or his friends and family. In fact, anyone can rent Joy for a week. All you'll need is $840,000!

Take a look below at some of the pictures of Michael Jordan's super yacht.

The Incredible Features Of Michael Jordan's $80 Million Superyacht

Basketball superstar Michael Jordan's love of the sea is well-documented, so it's no surprise that he is the owner of an $80 million superyacht named Joy. This 230-foot luxury vessel is modern, spacious, and comes with a full-length basketball court which is an extra touch befitting of a basketball legend like Jordan. This high-end yacht has not been his only maritime purchase in past years. As an avid sports fisherman who has competed in various sports fishing tournaments, he also owns an $8 million fishing yacht dubbed Catch 23 (via CBS ).

Joy was built by the Dutch ship construction company Feadship, which also was responsible for building a superyacht for the late Steve Jobs (via AutoEvolution ). It is powered by twin 1,850-horsepower engines and has an average cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 16 knots. The former king of basketball was last seen cruising on Joy in 2019 while on a sailing trip to St. Barts with friends (via The U.S. Sun ).

Joy's interior is sleek and modern

This award-winning luxury boat oozes elegance from all corners. Photos published online show that its design emphasizes natural light and uses glass paneling and large windows all over the ship to achieve this. As a result, guests can enjoy the sublime ocean view from nearly every room on the yacht.

This luxury yacht is enormous and consists of five decks that are connected by a glass elevator and a timber spiral staircase. There are seven cabins on board, including the master's suite featuring a 270-degree view and a private terrace. There is also a VIP stateroom, four double cabins, and one twin cabin to accommodate guests. In total, it accommodates up to 12 guests and 19 crew members.

For someone as enterprising as Michael Jordan ( Forbes has estimated his net worth to be $1.7 billion), this vessel has everything a billionaire businessman needs to kick back and relax. It comes with its own bar and a jacuzzi on its main deck. There is also a fully-equipped gym and a full-length basketball court whenever he is ready to take on anyone who wants to challenge him for a pick-up ball game.

A Closer Look at Michael Jordan’s $8 Million Yacht

April 14, 2022 by Martin Banks • Print Story

Michael Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and possibly the greatest basketball player of all-time, dropped the bag on an impressive yacht in 2021. Named Catch 23, it cost a whopping $8 million and currently sits in the harbor of Jupiter, Florida.

The name has a triple meaning. It invokes the famous book and old saying "Catch 22" while integrating the boat's main function — fishing — and Jordan's iconic basketball number, 23.

This yacht is just the latest example of Jordan's competitive nature and propensity to drop serious dough on his various hobbies. Aside from his accomplishments on the basketball court, Jordan is an avid gambler, golfer, and accomplished fisherman, participating in deep-sea fishing tournaments in the Atlantic and Caribbean.

Let's take a closer look at Catch 23's features and see what all the fuss is about.

Aboard Catch 23

Catch 23 is a Viking 80 made by Viking Yachts, one of the most prestigious yacht manufacturers in the world. It's a 2018 model with some balanced measurements:

- 84 feet long - 103 tons - Standard MTU naval engine - Tops out at 40 knots (about 48 mph) - Range of over 500 nautical miles - 2,600-gallon fuel capacity - Fits eight guests and two crew members

The boat's hull has an elephant wrap with a blue, white, and grey color scheme. These colors invoke the Jordan 3 basketball shoe and his college days at the University of North Carolina, where he rocked Tar Heel blue as a promising young NBA prospect.

The deck is designed for functionality, with a standard layout and plenty of seats and storage to handle a deep-sea fishing expedition. As you will see, Catch 23 is more of a hobby vessel than a refuge for relaxation. Still, the interior has enough luxurious features to make up for it.

The interior has a pleasing design, with white leather seating and smooth hardwood tables. There are couches for lounging, booths, and bar seats for eating, and an impressive kitchen with white marble countertops.

The hangout areas and sleeping arrangements comfortably fit 10 people (although the master bedroom takes up most of the space). The bathroom has a sizable shower, making hygiene a much easier task than on other ships.

Not that Jordan needs to watch his spending — he has a net worth of over $2 billion — but he did overpay for Catch 23. The vessel notably cost $2 million above the Viking 80's original value for two reasons: the custom design and the overall spike in boat prices. Boat prices have risen by almost 10% in recent years, enticing many people to sell their boats just to break even. We don't think Jordan will have this problem, but other boat owners should be aware of this trend.

Catch 23's Performance

Catch 23 isn't a fancy yacht by upper-class standards. You can certainly find more extravagant yachts in the water, including another owned by Jordan. His other yacht is a 230-footer named Joy that cost $80 million, but he can't exercise his competitive spirit on such a leisurely behemoth. This time, he opted for a sleek multipurpose vessel, just like his style of play on the court.

Catch 23 has a custom frame built for both leisure and competitive fishing. It has plenty of space for a small crew and all the capabilities to handle deep-sea fishing. Jordan himself caught a 442-pound marlin as captain of the ship at the 2020 Big Rock Fishing Tournament in North Carolina. He also caught a 25-pound mahi-mahi (dolphinfish) at the same tournament in 2021. Those catches earned him eighth and fourth place, respectively.

Notorious for his obsessive winner's mentality, Jordan made a point to win a fishing event with his prized vessel. He accomplished that goal by taking first place at the 2021 Buccaneer sail-fishing tournament in North Palm Beach, Florida. Although Jordan wasn't the captain, he reeled in two of the seven sailfish Catch 23 caught during the two-day event.

When he's not participating in world-class fishing tournaments, you might spot Jordan lounging on Catch 23 at its designated spot in the Jupiter harbor, casting lines and enjoying the boat's luxurious features.

Find Your Catch 23

While you probably don't have $8 million lying around to spend on a high-class yacht, you might have the funds to invest in a reliable compact fishing vessel. Boating is a challenging but fulfilling hobby, with energetic and relaxing features that everyone can enjoy. If you've always wanted a boat, start your search now and you might find your own Catch 23.

Michael Jordan’s Catch 23 Sportfish Yacht

Michael Jordan, aside from being a legend on the basketball court, is also an avid sport fisherman. To that end, he owns the Catch 23 sport fishing yacht, a Viking 80 model, which he’s been known to take out frequently over the years to relax on the water. Let’s take a closer look at the yacht and some of the features Jordan gets to enjoy while he’s on board. 

How Big is Catch 23?

Although it’s rumored that Jordan also owns the massive 230 foot yacht known as Joy (though it’s just a rumor) his fishing boat Catch 23 is much smaller, though still incredibly large by most people’s standards. This fishing yacht clocks in at 84 feet. That means it’s the same size as Shaq’s yacht , though they are different models. There’s room on board for 8 guests in total and it can be managed by a crew of two.

How Fast is the Motor Yacht Catch 23?

The Catch 23 is a powerhouse on the water for a boat of its size. It uses a pair of tier 3 MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L engines that offer up a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots. The vessel has a range of about 500 nautical miles. It’s usually docked in Jupiter, Florida but Jordan has taken it all around the US for sport fishing tournaments in the years since he’s owned it, usually up and down the east coast.

How Much Did Catch 23 Boat Cost?

Word is that Air Jordan dropped $8 million on Catch 23 back in 2018. With an estimated net worth of around $1.7 billion it’s certainly nothing he can’t afford. Which is good because the annual cost of running Catch 23 in terms of fuel, crew and general upkeep has been pegged at around $800,000.

Based on some accounts, Jordan actually significantly overpaid for his yacht but there are some reasons for that. First, the custom wrap around the boat set him back a good deal as it’s a big job. The other factor was just an issue with boat availability and the market at the time of his purchase. Boat prices were higher than usual at the time. Because of that, some sources have estimated he may have paid upwards of $2 million more than someone else might have for a nearly identical boat at another time. That said, for a 2023 model the $8 million price tag wouldn’t be unusual at all.

What’s it Like on Board Yacht Catch 23?

Because Catch 23 is a Viking 80 you can actually get on board and take tours of identical models since Jordan isn’t likely to let you come take a look at his personal yacht. His own yacht does have custom touches and, most notably, the exterior wrap has been custom designed for him and matches his private jet. Both are designed after the Air Jordan 3 sneakers.

Jordan has actually entered sport fishing tournaments with Catch 23 so it’s definitely set up for fishing and not just for show. Interestingly, the yacht has entered fishing tournaments in the past with Jordan’s crew but not Jordan himself. For instance, at the 2022 MidAtlantic Tournament, the Catch 23 crew pulled in a 73 lb White Marlin but Jordan was not on board at the time. The marlin ended up being a first place finisher. In 2020, Jordan was there himself when they pulled in a 442.3 lb Blue Marlin, though it wasn’t big enough for a win.

At the Big Rock Tournament in 2021, Jordan hauled in a 25-lb dolphinfish or Mahi Mahi on his own.

Despite being a vessel meant for function more so than luxury relaxation, Jordan still made sure his boat was comfortable. The interior decor features white leather and marble as well as hardwood surfaces. Guests can relax across a series of couches, bar stools and even booth seating when they hit the salon and galley on the main deck. 

The enclosed flybridge is massive compared to what you’d expect to find on a flybridge with seating for plenty of guests so no one needs to be separated or even downstairs rather than up by the helm if there’s a worry about the party being split up. Of course, if Jordan is keeping a crew on deck rather than operating the vessel himself then this is less of a concern. 

The massive master stateroom is full beam and features a king size bed. The VIP staterooms also feature king size beds while the crew quarters have a double berth and en suite bathrooms. 

Because Viking Yachts makes these boats custom for the owners it’s hard to say exactly what features Jordan might have included in his own interior, but similar models have even had full laundry rooms on board.

Out on the cockpit below the mezzanine there’s room to mount a fighting chair though it doesn’t look like Jordan makes use of this feature. There’s a lighted livewell with a window and tons of storage all around.  The vessel also features hydraulic bow thruster and dual freshwater pumps as well as Veem S class propellers among many other top of the line technical features.

The bow of Catch 23 is quite large and on many Viking 80s you’ll see a tender boat mounted here as it has room for a 17-foot dinghy or even two jet skis. It looks like Jordan hasn’t taken advantage of this and just keeps the bow clean and clear at all times.

The Bottom Line

Catch 23 is Michael Jordan’s custom designed Viking 80 sportfish yacht. He purchased the yacht in 2018 for $8 million and since that time has entered it in numerous sport fishing tournaments. The yacht itself has room for 10 and features a large master suit plus several VIP staterooms and crew quarters.

Because this is a sportfish vessel it’s not as decked out with luxury features as many superyachts might be. However, it does feature a lot of space and amenities to make any fishing trip a top of the line one. 

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.

Michael Jordan's 80 Million Dollar Yacht

Mar 15, 2022

Michael Jordan’s 80 Million Dollar Yacht

Michael Jordan is back in the news, but this time it’s not for his basketball feats or the Charlotte Hornets ‘ stats… Mr. Jordan just purchased a gigantic superyacht at an estimated price of $80 million. The yacht is equipped with incredible characteristics and has already been taken on a cruise to the Caribbean island of St. Barthelemy. We’re sure Mr. Jordan and his guests are taking advantage of all of this superyacht’s great features, as it’s difficult to get bored on a boat with so much to do!

(Source: The Sun)

“Joy”, has just about everything you could possibly need, making it the ideal hosting vessel for Mr. Jordan and his entourage. We’ll give you a fast rundown of what’s onboard, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself speechless at some point. We’re still astounded at how much they can fit into these boats; it’s truly incredible.

Every aspect of this stunning yacht was meticulously designed and constructed. Each deck is built of teak wood, and Studio Sindingo designed the stunning interior. Skylights in the master suite and bedrooms allow in the infinite blue sky, and the bathrooms include granite countertops and showers. The boat has a 270-degree view of the ocean for miles and is glass insulated, so it can be used all year. There is a spa room with a jacuzzi and sauna on board that is a resort in and of itself. Of course, Michael can keep his talents sharp on the fourth deck, which includes a basketball court.

Overview of “Joy”

Owner: Michael Jordan

Cost:  $80 million

Features:  Five deck levels, a full basketball court, 7 cabins, movie theatre, a yacht club, and more

Michael Jordan reels in a 442-pound blue marlin on his $8M yacht 'Catch 23' in fishing tournament

The yacht has already reeled in an impressive fish.

Michael Jordan took his 80-foot, $8 million convertible Viking sportfishing yacht to Morehead City, North Carolina to take part in the Big Rock Fishing Tournament. This is the NBA legend's first time competing in the tournament, which is a non-profit event to raise money for local charities. 

The boat is named "Catch 23," a nod to his iconic number. 

Of course, No. 23 did not miss a detail on the boat, which has his Jordan Brand elephant print along the side and a panther on the stern. 

The graphics match his plane, because why have a yacht and a plane if you aren't going to make them coordinate, right?

Looks like Michael Jordan will be participating in this week’s @bigrockfishing Tournament. #Catch23 pic.twitter.com/Mg650UeNPn — Talk of the Town (@1037WTIB) June 5, 2020

On Monday, the second day of the tournament, local station WITN reported that the boat brought in a 442.3-pound marlin.

According to National Geographic , marlins average anywhere from 200 to 400 pounds, but can weigh over 1,985 pounds. If M.J. wants to reel in one of those, to quote Jaws, he's gonna need a bigger boat.

Jordan is used to being crowned champion, but right now a boat called 'The Predator' is in the lead with a 494-pound blue marlin.

Up for grabs is The Fabulous Fisherman prize and $552,500, which will go to the first boat to bring in a big blue that weighs over 500 pounds.

With a net worth of over $2 billion, Jordan doesn't exactly need the money, but I'm sure he'd love to add another title to his resume.

The fishing boat has many features including a hydraulic bow thruster, a centralized seawater system, dual freshwater pumps, Veem S-class propellers and manual back-up, according to  HaulOverinlet.com . It sleeps 10 guests and has a top speed of 48 mph.

This is not Jordan's only boat, his other vessel is an $80 million, 230-foot yacht that reportedly costs $840,000 a week to operate.

Jordan does a lot more with his money than purchase impressive boats, however. Just last week he committed to donating $100 million over ten years to help organizations that "ensure racial equality, social justice and greater access to education."

A Firsthand Look at Michael Jordan’s $80 Million Yacht

Michael Jordan is one of the most respected men on the planet.

From being the basketball G.O.A.T to an iconic businessman, Jordan has cultivated a life most dream of. After wrapping up a legendary NBA career, MJ elevated his brand into a billion-dollar business; officially becoming the first billionaire athlete in 2015, and now currently ranking in the top 5 of wealthiest celebrities according to Forbes.

His Airness owes it to himself to indulge in the fruits of his labor; so, he decided to kick off 2019 by purchasing an $80 million yacht and cruise to the islands of St. Barths. Living the life of Jordan includes kicking your feet up and sipping fresh margaritas, puffing on premium Cuban cigars, and sailing into the sunset with the company of beautiful women and best friends. It costs roughly $840,000 a week to man the ship and maintain his lavish lifestyle out at sea.

A few photos of the yacht were leaked following a tweet from MJs body guard Dwyane Bacon of Air Jordan swaying to “Wobble Baby” at the Hornets annual holiday party.

This yacht is a fully loaded luxurious sanctuary. The specs, features, and amenities on this boat out-class most apartment and condominium buildings.

Everything You Want to Know about Michael Jordan's Yacht

For a lot of people out there, Michael Jordan was the biggest sports star of the 1990s. This is because he led the Chicago Bulls to 3 championship wins from 1991 to 1993, retired from the NBA to play some minor league baseball, and then led the Chicago Bulls to another 3 championships from 1996 to 1998. Summed up, it is no wonder that a lot of people see him as the greatest basketball player of all time, which is something that comes with a huge amount of respect, as shown by nicknames such as Air Jordan.

With that said, it is interesting to note that Jordan seems to have a fair amount of business skill as well. Certainly, he came out of the NBA as a millionaire , seeing as how he made a total of $90 million over the course of his NBA career. However, that served as a springboard and nothing more than that, as shown by what Jordan has managed to make based on the reputation that he built up. For example, Jordan was famous enough that he wound up playing the lead character in the 1996 movie called Space Jam , which might have met with a mixed response from the critics but was nonetheless such a huge success that it became the single most successful basketball movie ever. Furthermore, it is important to note that Jordan still makes tens of millions on Nike royalties on an annual basis because his shoes are still selling to a huge number of fans out there. Finally, Jordan actually became a billionaire in relatively recent times because he purchased the Charlotte Bobcats for $175 million, which is relevant because said franchise has seen a huge upswing to value to something along the lines of $750 million.

As a result, it is safe to say that Jordan has a lot of money to spend in various lavish ways. For example, he has a private jet that has been painted Carolina blue. Furthermore, he has spent more than $12 million building a home in Florida, which was in addition to real estate properties elsewhere. Finally, Jordan owns a yacht called Mr. Terrible, which is well, the exact opposite of what its name sounds like.

What Is There to Know About Michael Jordan's Yacht?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mr. Terrible is one of the most luxurious yachts that can be found out there on the sea. In total, it measures 154 feet in length, which is enough by most ways of reckoning to make it count as a mega yacht. For those who are curious, mega yachts are essentially private yachts measuring 24 meters or more, which is big enough that they actually need a professional crew on-board. Something that more or less restricts them to a very small group of potential clients, which in turn, means that each example is very much one of a kind with nothing else that is exactly like it.

Of course, mega-yachts being mega-yachts, this means that there is more to it than just its length. For example, one of the reasons for its construction is its use on fishing trips, as shown by the facilities that can be found on-board. Moreover, it is interesting to note that Mr. Terrible actually comes with a fairly powerful underwater camera, meaning that Jordan and his guests can use it to gaze down at what is happening in the waters beneath them.

With that said, Mr. Terrible boasts other ways to support rest and relaxation as well. For example, there is a bar where people can sip their favorite beverages. Furthermore, there is an area for outdoor dining as well as an indoor dining room with an actual chandelier. On top of this, Mr. Terrible boasts a design that has drawn inspiration from Art Deco as well as tropical themes, as shown by the fact that it has incorporated tropical wood into its walls as well as a staircase that has incorporated bubinga, which is a particular kind of hardwood with a rich color that projects an almost palpable presence.

Summed up, Jordan's Mr. Terrible is a remarkable demonstration of the yacht-builder's art because he can afford to pay for the best. Something that stands as a visible reminder of how Jordan has managed to turn his basketball reputation into a net worth that makes him the third wealthiest black person from the United States.

TAKE a look aboard the GOAT's boat as Michael Jordan leads a lush lifestyle with modes of transportation like this.

The NBA icon owns a jaw-dropping super yacht named Joy which is valued at a gaudy €70m.

He bought the luxurious vessel in 2019, that sits alongside his £6million fishing boat Catch 23.

Immediately, he sailed to the Caribbean island of St Barts with the pals to enjoy it.

On board, it has amenities, including a deck jacuzzi, gym, and a stunning dining room.

Better still, Joy also boasts a full basketball court for Jordan to show guests he's still got it.

Jordan became the first billionaire athlete in 2015, and still earns around £120million-per-year from Nike in endorsements, so a lavish purchase was always on the horizon.

Four years later he splashed around £60million on this yacht, which comes with all the trimmings over five decks.

Measuring 230 feet long, it boasts eight cabins fit for a king with each accessible by a lift.

Each has been decorated with ocean mosaics, like skylights and bathrooms with granite finishes. And they are equipped with their own rain showers.

It offers a 270 degree ocean view, and is glass insulated to keep out the cold overnight and on chilly days.

Our Fort Lauderdale marine diesel mechanics are in shock at the speeds that Micheal Jordan’s fishing boat can reach. Catch 23 has a max speed of about 40 knots with a range of more than 500 nm. Depending on the load as well as other environmental factors, the Catch 23 fishing boat can effortlessly cruise at 30 knots. 

2. The Catch 23 yacht was built and designed by Viking Yachts in 2018. 

Viking Yachts is a premier yacht manufacturer in Riviera Beach, FL. They specialize in convertible yachts as well as open and motor yachts. Jordan’s fishing boat is a convertible Viking 80EB sport fisher motor yacht. Viking Yachts designed both the interior, exterior, and engineering behind this impressive fishing boat. 

3. Michael Jordan uses Catch 23 for fishing tournaments.

Michael Jordan is definitely not a newbie when it comes to fishing. He frequently uses the Catch 23 fishing boat in a variety of tournaments. In June of 2020, Jordan participated in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament and reeled in a 442.3-pound marlin. 

4. Michael Jordan’s Viking Yacht can accommodate 10 people.  

Catch 23 can comfortably seat 8-10 guests and a 2-person crew. 1  

5. Catch 23 is worth $8 million.

That’s right, Michael Jordan’s yacht is worth $8 million, which is pocket change for someone with a $1.6 billion net worth according to Forbes. 2 He is famously considered the richest former professional athlete in the world. After winning 6 titles with the Chicago Bulls, he deserves this boat. 

6. Catch 23 was named after Jordan himself. 

For fishing and boat enthusiasts, naming your yacht is serious business. Jordan used a clever pun to name his vessel, playing off the common phrase “catch-22,” tying it into his off-the-court fishing hobby with “catch,” and incorporating his jersey number, 23. 

7. Michael Jordan’s fishing yacht matches his plane.

It wouldn’t be a luxury fishing boat if there wasn’t a matching plane to complete the set. Both feature the famous elephant print from the Air Jordan 3 sneakers, released in 1988, as well as Jordan’s signature panther on the stern to match his private jet. 

8. The boat is docked in Jupiter, Florida. 

You can find Jordan’s 80-foot fishing boat docked in Jupiter, Florida most of the time. Catch 23 can often be spotted around North Carolina where Michael Jordan enjoys participating in non-profit fishing tournaments and other national fishing competitions. 

9. Catch 23 includes several rooms and amenities. 

Michael Jordan’s Catch 23 yacht has a virtual conference area, 2 dining spaces, and a J lounge where Jordan and his guests can hang out between catches. The sleeping quarters include the main suite with a king-sized bed, 2 staterooms with queen-sized beds, and 2 additional staterooms with bunk-style beds, or berths. Each of the 5 staterooms also has its own shower stalls and there’s even a washer and dryer in the companionway. 

Additionally, the Catch 23 yacht also features a centralized seawater system, dual freshwater pumps, Veem S-class propellers as well as a manual backup. 3  

10. Catch 23 isn’t Jordan’s only boat. 

The famous basketball player also owns another boat that is worth roughly $80 million. The 230-ft mega yacht includes a full-sized basketball court as well as 8 cabins, a full gym, and a jacuzzi.

“Yacht Club” Jordan x Jayson Tatum: All Details About Celtics Superstar’s Signature Silhouette

T he recent matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors saw 21-year-old Paolo Banchero arriving on the court in style. The Magic power forward had signed a sponsorship deal with the Jordan brand back in 2022. Since then, he has been showing up on the court donning the latest sneakers that Michael Jordan’s decades-old brand released. This time, Banchero showed up on the court donning a pair of “Yacht Club” Jordan Tatum 2s. Jayson Tatum himself reacted to the post by dropping an emoji.

It’s a rare sight to see Michael Jordan allowing his name to be connected with another NBA player on the products of a brand that has reportedly made him a whopping $1.5 Billion. However, with an average rating of 23 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, Jayson Tatum is not just any player. With that in mind, the following article will take a look at the newly released Jordan Tatum 2s.

What are the Jordan Tatum 2 shoes?

Jayson Tatum has been involved in a partnership with the Jordan brand since June 2019. It wasn’t until eight months later when the Celtics star got the chance to release his first-ever signature shoe with Jordan, titled the Tatum 1. Three years after a successful launch, Nike decided to partner up with the player again. According to Nike’s official website, the Tatum 2s are “rooted in the motion and emotion that drives Jordan Brand’s approach to basketball shoe design.”

Just like many of its earlier products, the sneakers are made up of a Nike Air Strobel unit that extends to its full length. For basketball players, these sneakers help to “cushion impact from explosive movements” . The earlier line of sneakers was built as a lightweight alternative to the other bulky Jordans. The Tatum 2s built upon the same approach and expanded it. Nike used gum rubber in the traction areas of the shoe’s frame to increase lightness. Large foam and textile pods were placed purposefully around the foot areas that experienced the most pressure when playing basketball.

The initial shoes were released in two colorways: the “Vortex” and “Momma’s Boy” . The “Vortex” colorway adapted the green color of the Boston Celtics and came in combinations ranging from Mint Foam and Lava Glow to Hyper Jade and Key Lime.

The sneaker line was debuted by Jayson Tatum on the 25 th of December, 2023. As the player faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas day , he could be clearly seen sporting his new shoes in the “Vortex”  Colourway. While the same would not be made available to the public until March 2024, the 5x NBA All-Star still wanted to give the public a taste of what they should expect.

Jayson Tatum has been reportedly happy with how the new line of sneakers bearing his and Jordan’s name have turned out to be. In a statement, he said, “For me, this second shoe represents evolution and how much I’ve grown as a player” .
