Arguably the best Basketball Shoe for the Greatest Player ever





Arguably the best looking performance basketball shoe for the Greatest Basketball player, the Jordan XI, is having yet another re-release (hopefully some time soon)! A shoe so desired that it caused muggings, sometimes unfortunately ending in tragedy, at the time of it's first release in 1996 and violence occurring once again just this past december when the shoe was re-released but a shoe that has been mired is not the point of this post just merely a way of attempting to indicate it's social significance.

The shoe is being re-release under the "For The Love Of The Game" series, which will probably have to include the Jordan III among other shoes.










When it was first released in 1996 the shoe look like this:



The changes for this next release seem to be purely cosmetic. Although there is no official word on why it looks like it does but the carolina blue colour (actually a Pantone 284) is undoubtedly for the North Carolina Tar Heels (where he attended college) probably as a tracing back to his roots!

Take a look at these other views
