Jordan Brand and the Quai 54 World Streetball Championship Take Paris

Since 2003 the Quai 54 World Streetball Championship has hosted passionate basketball players, fans and artists from around the globe as one of the biggest international celebrations of street ball culture. The annual event made its way to the Pelouse de Reuilly Park in Paris this past weekend, where activities included live performances, a 5-on-5 tournament and the highly anticipated Dunk Contest. With Jordan brand sponsoring the event, athletes and attendees paid homage by sporting a range of Jordan sneakers, including the limited-edition styles that dropped Saturday as a part of the the Jordan Quai 54 collection.
