Does anyone know the story of this pic? It just seems weird to see MJ in non-jordan kicks...

Once the Bulls entered the2nd round against the Magic, MJ was given a test pair ofwhite/black/concord XI's. As the story goes, Tinker Hatfield pleadedwith MJ to not wear the shoes as they were only a test pair. MJcouldn't resist and wore them anyways. He wore them for a few games butwas warned by the league to switch back to a primarily black shoe sincethe Bulls wore primarily black shoes. deja vu?
MJthen broke out a pair of Penny Hardway's Air Flight Ones for one game.Rumor has it that MJ borrowed a pair from Penny's personal stash butcut off the heel tab that had Penny's #1 on it.
Forthe remaining games of the Magic series, MJ sported the infamous SpaceJams. (Technically they were just the black/white XI's since the moviehadn't come out yet)

You're prob referring to the #12 jersey.

Maybe true, but he had to pay to get his own #23 jersey back after the jersey was already retired.Originally Posted by marcushatten

MJ didn't wear the Shadow X's because like most others even MJ didn't like them!Originally Posted by JIM SHADY2003
I Always wondered why he didn't just play in the shadow X he wore in round 1 in that game while his "space jams " were being made, doesn't seem like Mj to wear some one else's sneakers especially because at the time penny was a young emerging superstar who was looking to knock a rusty Mj off the throne . Oh yeah and as for the jersey switch mid series I'm pretty sure the NBA fined him $5k the first game $10k the next game and threatened to go as high as $20k if he didn't stop , maybe that's why he let Orlando eliminate the bulls that year
