Jordan is also a massive fashion icon, with his brand being one of the most easily recognizable brands on the planet. He has established an empire since his days as an athlete.

Pierre Gasly is a pilot who loves the world of basketball as much as that of fashion. He has also been a fan of Basketball’s GOAT since childhood. The AlphaTauri pilot recently had the chance to meet MJ and had a night to remember.
