Air Movie Soundtrack Is a Slam Dunk of '80s Hits
The greatest basketball player of all time inspires the greatest basketball shoe ever made in AIR, director Ben Affleck's true story about Nike landing rookie NBA superstar Michael Jordan. Fans can hoop it up with the official AIR: Amazon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, a slam-dunk collection of '80s hits featured in the movie now playing exclusively in theaters. Consisting of 13 tracks from such artists as Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, and REO Speedwagon, the AIR soundtrack is available digitally now and will release on CD (June 2nd), on Amazon exclusive edition audio cassette tape (June 23rd), and on vinyl (September 15th).
Award-winning music supervisor Andrea von Foerster (Yellowstone, 500 Days of Summer) curated the songs from the movie, about the game-changing partnership between Jordan and Nike's fledgling basketball division before it revolutionized the world of sports and culture with the Air Jordan shoe. The film follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional team with everything on the line — Sonny Vaccaro (Matt Damon), Rob Strasser (Jason Bateman), Howard White (Chris Tucker), and Nike founder Phil Knight (Affleck) — as they court a legend and his uncompromising mother (Viola Davis).
