The story behind the AIR JORDAN 9. The Air Jordan 9 (White/Black) was originally released in November 1993 after the Bulls won their third straight NBA Championship and after MJ retired from the game to pursue baseball. It was the first shoe to feature a "speed-lacing" system. The Air Jordan 9 was chosen for the statue outside of the United Center because MJ was a global superstar and the shoe represented the globalization of Air Jordans since MJ's shoes were becoming popular around the world. Look at the bottom of each shoe and you'll see foreign words in Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Swahili. The english translation to some of those words include: Independence, Freedom, Athletic, Intense, Graceful, and Dedicated. Because of his retirement MJ never wore the Air Jordan 9 on the basketball court, but he asked Nike to make a cleat version which he wore when he played baseball.

 "During my rookie year with the Miami Heat, one of my teammates, Willie Burton, did something he shouldn't have done. When Jordan didn't score any points in the first quarter, Willie told Michael, 'Hey, we're shutting you down tonight. We're going to stop you.' Michael went on to score 56 points in the last three quarters. The worst thing about what Willie did was he was not the primary man guarding Michael. I was. So I have 56 unpleasant memories of Jordan from that playoff game." -- Steve Smith former NBA guard

AJ 2010 - All in the details. Pic1 : The Air Jordan 2010 has a hidden message that you might not know about. The squiggly lines in the the midsole are actually a famous quote of Michael Jordans. It might be hard to see at first, but when you turn the shoe vertically the right shoe reads "I've failed over and over and over again..." and the left shoe continues "...in my life. And that is why I succeed." If you're a true MJ fan you'll remember that same quote used at the end of this famous commercial. |

Nike Foamposite (Pearl White). Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : Rumors say this shoe will be coming out some time this year. |

| "This site is the truth. I'm always on checking release dates, but I never bought from this site. A lot of people said good things, so I ordered a pair and they were delivered to my door before I could even buy clothes to go with the sneakers. Very fast shipping. And my sneakers are NOT fake! You guys have a loyal customer." -- Marcus from Boston |

| "I've been viewing your site for more than 2 years, but the Retro 6 "Oreos" are the first pair I've ever ordered from you guys. I was a little hesitant because they weren't released in stores yet, so I wasn't sure if I should trust your site. Luckily, I placed the order. I read the testimonials on your site and I guess I had to join the crowd. I look forward to ordering from you guys again." -- Ify from California |

Mississippi man charged with selling FAKES. "An investigator consultant with Nike informed police that the defendant was selling counterfeit Nikes. Undercover officers approached him...and bought a pair of what were supposedly Nike Shox for $50." They turned out to be Fake and Police confiscated 312 pairs of Fakes. If you have a store in your area selling Fakes please send an email to COUNTERFEIT@NIKE.COM and give them the name and address of that store so Nike can investigate. |
| |
 It's good to see Police stepping up their efforts against stores selling Fakes. Close to 3,000 pairs of Fake Air Force 1's and Jordans were seized by Louisiana Police in August 2009. If you know a place selling Fakes send an email to COUNTERFEIT@NIKE.COM and give them the name and address of the store so Nike can investigate.

This is my 3rd order from your website and I can definitely say it is not my last!" -- Bobby from Arlington, Texas |

 Why did Jordan wear the number 12? Pic1 : Pic2 : Pic3 : A lot of you may not know this story, but during a game in 1990 against the Orlando Magic someone snuck into the Bulls locker room and stole Jordan's "23" jersey before the game. Unfortunately the Bulls did not have a spare jersey, so they had to give Jordan a number "12" jersey with no name on the back. After that game the Bulls made sure to bring plenty of extra "23" jerseys to all future games to avoid having the same problem again. |
| |
| Was it the shoes that helped MJ extend his career? Yeah. MJ credits the invention of the carbon fiber shank plate in his shoes for prolonging his basketball career and helping him avoid any serious injuries. The Air Jordan XI (the one with the patent leather) was the first Air Jordan shoe to have a carbon fiber shank plate. It takes pressure off of the knees and arches, which is why MJ insists on having some form of shank plate in his shoes even to this day. |
| |
 "Maybe the greatest favor anybody ever did for me was when he gave up his spot on the second Dream Team because he said he wanted me to replace him and get a shot at the gold medal. That showed the tremendous human side of MJ. It showed he's not just a great player but a great person. I'll always be grateful to him for that." -- Mitch Richmond former NBA guard

| Stop your shoes from squeaking. The Retro 10 and Retro 11 are prone to start squeaking after a while. If yours are squeaking try this: 1) Remove the insole; it's glued on so be careful removing it. 2) Pour some baby powder inside the shoe, then put the insole back. A lot of people who tried it said it stopped the squeaking. |

 The story behind the logo. The "swoosh" was actually designed by a female Portland State University student who received a lousy $35 from the founder of Nike. But after Nike became successful they decided to give her some company stock along with a gold ring. The logo represents the wing of the Greek Goddess "Nike" who was the Goddess of Victory. |
| |
| "I just ordered the Air Jordan 1 and I love them! I have to admit I was skeptical about ordering shoes online since I have been tricked before with fakes, but you guys are the real deal! I check 23isBACK.com EVERYDAY for news and release dates and now I can add buying shoes to the list. I recommend 23isBACK.com to everyone! Good lookin' out guys!" -- Pedro from Chicago |

 During the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, a European journalist amazed at Michael Jordan's basketball ability asked him, "Are you of this Earth?" Jordan smiled and said, "Well, I come from Chicago." |

| $700,000 worth of Fakes hidden behind toilet paper. U.S. Customs is taking a closer look at the containers entering our ports. A news article stated that U.S. Customs found a shipping container from China trying to enter the port in Oakland, CA. The container contained kitchen cabinets, but upon closer inspection a Customs Agent found thousands of FAKE Nike and Jordan shoes hidden behind stacks of toilet paper. |

| Stores and websites that sell FAKES. Pic1 There are a ton of websites, including eBay that sell Fake Air Jordans & Nikes. Fakes have even made their way into neighborhood stores. If you find a place selling hard to find Air Jordans for really low prices (usually around $70) and they have a full size run (8 through 13) available that should tell you that something isn't right. If a website says their shoes are going to be shipped from overseas (usually China) then you're most likely going to get Fakes. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Fakes are made in wacky, strange, unreleased colors, but they're also made in the same colors as the original, authentic pairs, which makes them harder to spot. Some websites use pictures of authentic shoes, but end up sending you a Fake pair. Use common sense. Nike is aware of the ongoing problem and they are trying to crack down on stores and websites that sell Fakes. They setup a special email address so you can report those stores. Send an email to COUNTERFEIT@NIKE.COM If a website is selling Fakes give them the link to the website. If you know a store that is selling Fakes give them the name and address of the store. Nike will investigate with the local Police and take further action. |

You can even smell the freshness of the shoe! I will definitely be looking on this site frequently. Keep up the good work guys.” -- Andy from Chicago |
