Jordan Brand has been leaving its mark at NBA All-Star Weekend since well before it was even a brand. Starting with the infamous “freeze out” game during Michael Jordan’s rookie season, the Jumpman has maintained its presence throughout the decades. This year in Utah is no different with the brand hosting PARLOR23, its hub for activations in Salt Lake City that aims to inspire self-belief in the next generation. PARLOR23 will be open to the public for basketball experiences, live discussions with Jordan Brand athletes, customizable products, food, and of course, product releases.

Fans of MJ will recognize the pizza parlor reference in the name, nodding to the iconic “Flu Game” during the 1997 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz. Rumor has it, MJ ordered pizza to his hotel room before Game 5, leading to an illness that forced him to play with flu-like symptoms. While “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12s aren’t scheduled to release, fans on the ground can expect to see Laney Air Jordan 1s, “Playoffs” Air Jordan 13s, Luka 1s, Zion 2s, Air Jordan 37s, and perhaps a restock of recent releases like the Black/White Air Jordan 1 High 85′.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
