The 2025 FN Achievement Awards may often be referred to as the “Shoe Oscars,” but the Jordan team remained true to their brand and wore their sneakers on the red carpet at the glamorous event. Nigel Sylvester , Spike Lee , and Jordan Brand president Sarah Mensah all rocked black Jordans at the event, which took place on Wednesday in New York City.
The professional BMX athlete is presenting Jordan with the Brand of the Year award at the ceremony, while the famed movie director has been a longtime supporter, fan and collaborator of Jordan. They both wore pairs of Nike Air Jordan 3 Retro “Black Cement” sneakers. The shoes feature a black leather upper, grey elephant print detailing, and red accents on a white midsole.
