The three Oscar winners Damon, Affleck and Davis beamed side by side as they posed together at the event.
The shoes – produced by American company Nike, Inc – were designed for former Hall of Fame basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls in 1984 and were released on April 1, 1985.
Damon plays a sports manager, Sonny Vaccaro, tasked with improving Nike’s sales at their basketball division.
Vaccaro looks through numerous tapes, looking for the perfect player to work with before finding one and showing it to his boss, the Jason Bateman character.

Damon then tells a Nike designer that he needs “the best basketball shoe ever.”
When asked who it’s for, he replies steelily, “Michael Jordan.”

Ben recently told IndieWire about working with his longtime friend Damon, saying, “I love and trust Matt so much and it’s been so nice working together.
“It was kind of a feeling of, I want the other actors to feel [this too].
