Garage Italia Customs will turn Ferrari 550 Maranello into a work of art dedicated to Michael Jordan.
The Italian tuning studio is owned by Lapo Elkann – the youngest grandson of Gianni Agnelli, who was a former major shareholder of Fiat.
The brand offers unique custom designs, and this time they have created an impressive project inspired by the famous basketball player.
Few people have not heard of the most famous model Nike – Air Jordan. They were created back in 1984, even before Jordan became a star of the 'Chicago Bulls'. With the team's victories and the player's growing fame, the popularity of the sneakers also reached its peak.
Over the years Nike continued to create new models of the legendary sneakers, and it is precisely the Air Jordan 3 in White Cement color that is the inspiration for Garage Italia Customs. They decided to transfer the unique design of the sneakers onto the body of the Ferrari 550 Maranello.
The main color is white, but it is adorned with various details that are references to Michael Jordan's basketball career. On the car we can see the logo of the 'Chicago Bulls' as well as the name Jordan, written in red. On the hood and doors, also in red, is the number 23 – the basketball player's number on the team.
At the top we find 'Air Mike', flying for a dunk – a detail that is present on the famous sneakers, and the characteristic pattern of the Air Jordan 3 in grey and black, has been transferred onto the body of the car.
Perhaps the most impressive is the rear window, whose design resembles a basketball backboard. On it is written '06.6' – the time indicating the moment when Jordan makes one of the most legendary dunks in basketball.
