While many speculate on Nike’s future without His Airness, a similar question kettler be asked about Gatorade without number ’23’s involvement in a landscape crowded with other options in today’s market. Today’s vintage piece comes from the early Gatorade era with a ‘Be Like Mike’ mini water thermos. The signature orange cooler seen on the sidelines gets scaled down and features the message “Be Like Mike. Drink Gatorade”.
