Hey guys I was in Nashville, TN last month and went to this charity event. One of the things at this auction were two t-shirts. The brand of these shirts is23 by Jordan. They explained that at one time Jordan had his own clothing line and store called "23." Jordan's father gave some of these shirtsout to the employees at this store. I have pictures of the two shirts, even with the tags still on it. If anyone could give me any info on these I'dreally appreciate it. Good Lookin.

Ready to Take Off

Thanks man I appreciate it, when I saw these I couldn't pass em up. I just wish i could find some information about it.
 
YO! Well... the store was Flight 23 by Jordan in Matthews, NC - a suburb of Charlotte. This was circa 89-91. I have very very few memories of the place becauseI was around 7 or 8 at the time; and not only that Charlotte wasn't quite as large so Matthews wasn't as accessible. There's been speculation foryears in this area that James' murder was somehow tied into debts he'd acquired (possibly this store played a part in those debts not being paid). Whoknows really, it's urban legend at this point. My thinking now being a 26 yr. old is that poor location doomed that store. I don't have manyconversations about the store because most of my friends (and even worse the "shoeheads" around here

) have no recollection of the place. Iwas fortunate enough to have had a mother who drove me out there once or twice. I've been meaning to sift through newspaper archives for a story on itsgrand opening. If memory serves me right, Mike did an autograph signing in-store. If only OMWN hadn't gone AWOL... I'm sure he'd remember and havemore input.



Anyway, hope that helps. Thanks for the pics. DF!!!

Thats awesome man thanks for the info. The charity event people said that these shirts were designed by his dad and given out only employees that workedat the store. I'm just trying to find out if thats true. If anyone else has any more info it would be greatly appreciated. But for real AirAnt23 goodlookin on the info
 
To the post starter, thanks for bringing up this topic. AirAnt, much appreciated on the input, I have maybe a dozen of those Jordan shirts sitting downstairsin my basement most of them which I don't even fit into anymore, I always wondered, everytime I looked at the tag that what would be the history behindthis, was it Nike or another brand etc...……only if they'd make shirts like that now-days.

Well at the hotel there was a silent auction with a bunch of different sports memorabilia and the bid started at $50 for the two. I went up to the two dudesthat were running it and said that I really liked em and that I would give em $55 for em straight up em and i guess because they had so much stuff they saidaight and I was able get em.
