My bad! I think I'm one of the OGs to this Jordan thing and there isn't a point he ever scored in the nba or a pic I've never seen.. I was hoping someone else remembered him flipping up the 4s

He took part in alotttttt of pickup, Pro-Am, and charity games in the mid-late 80's before he became kinda jaded by the whole "business" side of basketball. A lot of these events took place in North Carolina and in the Chicago area. After all these years, more footage is finally starting to surface.

That means probably way more shoes that we say he never wore on court, he might have actually worn! Great find tho thank you

I'm not sure if my eyes are decieving me or not, but if someone that is an OG head or is very knowledgeable can tell, I believe MJ wore not just an ordinary pair of Air Jordan 1's against the Knicks in 1998, if there is such a thing. I believe MJ wore the Air Jordan 1's with the sole of the 2's. I say this while watching a video on YouTube and comparing to pictures of the soles of when he came back from injury in 1986 with the Air Jordan 2 sole before there even was an Air Jordan 2. I think that would be amazing considering the soles of AJ 2's would definitely have crumbled by the time he wore this "OG pair" in 1998.

I remember they were original OG 1s. Original release from his stash. I could be wrong, but I think they did something to the shoe because they fit so tight. But they were original 1s.

100% not a model using the II Sole / Midsole...
OG or 94' Retro is uncertain...The two versions were essentially identical anyway...I'd heavily think they are OG's since they were in his original size 12.5 and not the 13.5 he was wearing at the time...Fairly certain if they were the 94' Retro's he could have gotten his actual, then current, size...But again who knows...
At any rate here is the video...

Thank you for clarifying that, I was trying to find a clear, concise and blown up pic but could not. It just looked odd at some angles and the video I was just casually watching on YouTube. I do wish they would drop the AJ 1 with Nike Air and the 2 midsole, that would be insane lol. BTW how in the world did he keep those that fresh if they were OG, even in 1998, did he have some sort of space age chamber or something? lol

I can't recall ever seeing any other pics and / or video's outside of the 1985 Excel All Star Game with MJ actually wearing the Shadow's...I'd love to see them though if they are around...
MJ wore a couple different altered versions of the 1's following the foot injury...
When he did make it back, in time for the Playoffs, Nike laced him with these since his foot was still healing...
Nike also had these made up...Clearly Nike was looking to give MJ a little extra cushion so this, I'm sure, was basically a wear test sample to see how MJ would like what they were planning for the II's...Also notice the, what looks to be a polyurethane insole, from the pics I posted above)...Obviously MJ wanted more cushioning...
Then there was these from the famous 63 point game 2 against Boston in the Playoffs...Dunk sole...
Also, a little off topic but still pretty cool and relevant to MJ's foot injury...Like the video I posted last week said, MJ started his playing day's wearing a 12.5 then changed over time into a 13.5...The reason for this was his broken foot...He returned to playing before it could fully heal back to normal and this caused it to be slightly larger than it was prior to the break...While I was looking for the photos regarding this I came across these as well...For the 1986 Playoffs MJ was wearing one size 13 and one size 13.5 shoe (This is the pair that had the built in ankle brace)...I completely forgot about this until I started looking for these sample pictures...
