Unbanned: The Legend of AJ1 is launching digitally on May 14, and in the lead up, Jordan Brand has partnered with the documentary to announce the "Unbanned Unboxed" campaign, a week-long sweepstakes offering 23 rare Jumpman-related prizes.

Starting 2PM PST on May 6th and ending at midnight PST on May 13th, sweepstake entries can be made at UnbannedUnboxed.com. Each $23 entry comes with a redeemable movie download (for when the film is available May 14th) and a chance to win one of 23 sneaker prizes, including a rare pair of OG 1985 AJ1s valued at over $15K, a collection of 5 rare AJ1’s and 21 limited AJ1’s, along with other hard-to-find items.

Additionally, the documentary has partnered with Wings – a Jordan Brand-affiliated charity – to donate a portion of every ticket sold to local organizations in communities around the country that are focused on empowering underserved youth through the power of education and mentorship.
