The gripping and eye-opening memoir from the "Savior of Nike" and the man who discovered Michael Jordan, Sonny Vaccaro.

- Vaccaro's pivotal role in the never-before-told story of the courting and signing of Michael Jordan

- The high stakes drama behind the O'Bannon lawsuit that changed the entire landscape in college sports
Filled with in-depth stories and sixteen pages of photos illuminating some of Sonny's most treasured career memories, Legends and Soles is the long-awaited memoir of a giant of American sports and a marketing genius.
