Starting from April 1, 2024, NBA coaches, including Utah Jazz's assistant coach Scott Morrison and Golden State Warriors' Steve Kerr, are participating in a league-wide initiative to raise awareness for autism acceptance by wearing custom-designed, painted Nike Air Force 1s throughout World Autism Month. The campaign, initiated by Morrison, has seen widespread participation across the NBA, with the custom sneakers featuring designs that symbolize autism awareness, such as the rainbow infinity symbol representing neurodiversity, aligning with World Autism Awareness Day and Month. This effort aims to generate greater awareness and acceptance for individuals with autism.
