Official "When did MJ wear those??" post and FAQs!! - Page 2

Nice official thread ijapino ....one of those that will be used for reference a lot, almost like the sneaker maintanence one. I find myself wondering about a few kicks he wore as well so this a great post!!! Blazers21NTNP also held it down in the original thread which was asked about for MJs playoff kicks also...good work by both of you guys.

I wasn't even aware in '95 he wore the 11s! I definitely knew about the Penny flight 1s but not those. Well it was around that time '93-'95 that I started to understand and look at bball  cuz of MJ (as otherwise I was strictly tennis- big Sampras fan) but wasn't inclined to checking out the shoes too much till the '96-'97 season. So that was some great visual info...and it does appear, if you look closely in your pic that there was a blue jumpman on the then "black/white" 11s which we will later affectionately know as the Space Jams. Maybe to be considered then as an Orlando 11? Much like what we saw done recently with the 6rings (just for reference sake) with the Utah, Seattle, Portland, Detroit and LA colourways?

thanks for the post and pics, was just thinking about some shoes he wore a few days back and couldnt figure it out, Kudos

Finally, a good thread!!!!!!!

Thanks ijapino

love this thread. so many MJ memories. Thanks ijapino.

Ok I'm kinda a noob the the jordan game but I know quite a lot of history. I just wonder why don't people like the black and red 7's being called mraptors

Oh and are those PE 7's that Kobe is wearing?

FANTASTIC post Cory!

Slight edit - you said 99 - retired.... yes MJ was retired, but there was no ASG in 1999 (lockout)

Very cool thread! What shoes did MJ wear with the #12?

Mods/Admins: Please kindly make sure that this gets archived.

History wise, as far as Jordan Brand forum is concerned, this has to be one of the most imperative post there is in my entire 8 years here at NT. The information alone is beyond valuable to say the very least. Not to mention the meticulous images provided, which to me, is certainly the icing on the cake.

...imo the best thread ever

Man I have been waiting and hoping for a thread like this. It needs to be around forever!

Because the Raptors (the team) were not even invented yet in 1992 when the shoes came out.

Great thread

here's a few random photos



1985 Slam Dunk Participants



1987 Slam Dunk Contest




1990 Three-point Shootout Contestants




1998 East All-Stars



2003 All-Star game

sick thread, they need to go back to wearing their team jerseys in the allstar games, the nba was far more exciting in the 90's than it is now

best thread YET....we need more threads like this...thanks ijapino

Ehh *Kanye Shrug* A nickname is a nickname i guess

Great thread! Money in cool grey XI  thanks for the trip down memory lane

His rookie year was solid too, the different 1's and lace color combos, etc etc

And question....when was this?



(It's labeled Slam Dunk Contest in Getty Images)
 
Mike wearin the cement 3s (or true blues). 1988 All Star Saturday is shown in the photo. So it was not the actual game. And in this photo he is wearing a white jersey when we know in the 1988 dunk contest he was wearing red. Isiah is also shown who obviously was not in the dunk contest. Mike was not in the three point shootout that year...

great thread, pics of Mariah in those XI boots

Has it been confirmed that Mike never wore the black/red I's in a game?

I have yet to see an image of him wearing them in a game (I know he did in the dunk contest).

I thought it was always rumored that he wore the Big Nike High with red along the lace holes and not the Air Jordan.

Can anyone in this post confirm that? I would love to see him with the black/red ones because Nike's whole marketing campaign surrounded them, but I've never seen him with them on in a game.

This is great to see. I love seeing pictures with MJ wearing heat. Nice thread! Keep them pictures coming!!!

   QFT....I still watch the NBA but I don't watch as often as I did back in the 90's. Jordan and the rest of the league just made for great entertainment every night, and I just don't find the same kind of excitement with today's league.

i wanna see that air flight ones without the #1 heel tab

Wow, I never knew he wore Cool Grey IX's in game with the Wizards. That's the only shoe in this entire thread I never knew he wore. Awesome!

Truly a great thread ijapino!! 

Wow, I never knew he wore Cool Grey IX's in game with the Wizards

Here's a couple more..

RyGuy45 - The pictures of Jordan as a rookie in the White/Red and all White kicks are Nike Air Ships.

And that All-Star '88 picture has him wearing Cement IIIs with his All-Star uniform. He wore them for the team portrait, but I'm not sure if the portrait was taken on Saturday night (as the banner would suggest), or pre-game on Sunday, as they do now. I would think it was done on Sunday, and maybe the "Saturday Night" banner was just left up from the previous night. As you can see Moses Malone standing beside him in full uniform, and Larry Bird on the opposite baseline wearing his All-Star uniform, as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he shot around in his White/Cements, then switched out of them. All speculation, though...
