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.
Four players took part in the dunk competition, which was judged by a panel including Jordan-sponsored NBA athletes Kemba Walker, Victor Oladipo and Jabari Parker. The dunk contestants wore the Jordan Super.Fly 2017 shoes, which utilize Nike’s new React foam technology for heightened cushioning.
