Together with acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, Upper Deck presents this specially commissioned artwork featuring Michael Jordan. Shepard, who is known for creative street art campaigns and iconic pieces of work (like his memorable "HOPE" portrait of President Barack Obama), has now added Michael Jordan to his select list of subjects. "Everything about Michael Jordan is iconic, from his slam dunks to his signature shoes, to his tongue wagging, to his number, so he makes a great subject for portraiture because everything about him is laced with cultural significance," Shepard said. "You can tell from the look in his eyes, even back when he was at the University of North Carolina, that he was obsessed with greatness, but he also managed to do everything with a sense of flair. I think it's that combination of intensity and style, and of course his singular talent, that make him the embodiment of a legend." Upper Deck Authenticated guarantees the authenticity of Michael Jordan and Shepard Fairey's signatures on this piece through its five-step authentication process.
