Mansory pays a homage to Air Jordan... with a lawnmower
It does fit together better than what you think.
The world of a lawnmower can be just as crazy as the car world. Honda has been producing Mean Mower series that can now do a top speed of 150 mph and 0-100 mph in less than 7 seconds, there have been multiple lawnmower racing associations around the world for decades, and there's also a movie about a guy doing a lawnmowing job who enters a virtual world and gain supernatural powers to control the world. Now, here's another company that has recently joined this crazy field.
Mansory, a German company that modifies many luxury vehicles and supercars around the world and produces luxury rims and armored vehicles, has recently collaborated with BSTN Premium Sportswear (a German sportswear seller and maker) to produce a lawnmower that celebrates the release of Air Jordan XI Jubilee.

Named BSTN GT XI, this ride-on lawnmower is equipped with custom-made carbon parts all over the body, Jordan logos in various parts of the vehicle, leather-carbon bucket seat and steering wheel, and even a rear wing.
While the lawnmower and Air Jordan don't seem to have a lot of relations, Mansory states that the designer of many Nike shoes - Tinker Hatfield - was inspired by a lawnmower to create Air Jordan XI. So this homage isn't totally out of the blue.

Unfortunately (or not), this lawnmower is a one-off and is not available for sale. While the only purpose I can find for this lawnmower's existence is to 'flex' one's wealth, I do think it does the show-off in a quite fancy and unique way...

The last thing I expected to come from Mansory would be a Lawnmover XD
Is it for rappers?
Probably. Funnier thing is that they called a soccer player to advertise a lawnmower that homages a basketball shoe.
Obviously they don't know what they were doing. Money gives you freedom to be stupid as much as a US passport.
The world has gone crazy 🥴
I have read few comments below. It seems people are playing man and not a ball! Let's be civilised. By the way, is it real thing or early April's Fool?
It seems that Mansory have made an actual functioning product, and they also seem pretty serious about it - well, at least their ad campaign does.
Yesss!!!
