Rick Santorum's Wife Sued Doctor For $500,000 In 1999
The 1996 season was almost a perfect season for Jordan. It marked his return as the leagues MVP, his team's record 72 victory season, and the start of their second three-peat. It also marked the release of his greatest shoe ever. Although my sneaker fanatic days are long gone (save for my current affinity for custom chucks), I have to say that there is one sneaker that I will always be willing to drop $150 on. In my opinion the Jordan XI is the greatest basketball shoe of all-time. Its composition is so simple, yet so luxurious. MJ first rocked the XIs during Chicago's series vs. Orlando in the second round of the 1995 playoffs. I remember seeing them for the first time and saying to myself: "My man is rocking basketball sneakers with patent leather on them!" By the time the shoes were actually released before the 95-96 season Jordan fans from all over America were waiting outside footlockers trying to get a pair. Since I was in school the day they were released, I sent my mom to pick up a pair for me. I tried to do the same thing when other colors came out throughout the year, but with the Bulls on a record run, and Michael Jordan hysteria at an all time high, it was damn near impossible to get a pair. I didn't get my hands on another pair until Nike released a retro version in late 2000. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of the next pair.
