Hello and welcome to my third annual Jordan Brand Classic blog and
photo gallery. I have been extremely fortunate to have joined
Jordan Brand on this trip for the past three years, where I have
visited Lithuania, Rome, Athens ... and now Istanbul, Turkey!
Below I have included some of the
pictures from
our travel day.
