He wore The Air Flight Ones in the 1995 Playoffs against the Magic. They were technically Penny's shoe but they weren't the Air Penny's. And he wore them because he was going to receive a fine for wearing the white/black XI's. The Bulls, as a team were wearing primarily black shoes. So for one game he wore the black Air Flight Ones. The last two games in that series he wore the infamous Space Jams.

That series was pretty memorable. Not because the Bulls lost in six, but MJ switched back to #23 in that series, and also broke out the XI's for the first time!

Thank's for clearing that up. But one would think he would still rock the XI just like he did the I's. I'd even expect Nike would pay forit too.
 
I wonder where that stolen jersey is today. Could you imagine what it would do in an auction.
 
^^^^^ prob aint worth too much. I mean generic jordan pro-cut jersey. How can you tell it's stolen????

I remember him rockin those Penny's, switching back to the #23, and the introduction of the Spacejams ... Good Times

He shoulda rocked the wht/blk XI's, because If i'm not mistaken which I might be, didn't he get fined for changing his number w/o going to theLeague 1st?
