Air Jordan 2009. Pic1 : Pic2 : Since the Jordan Brand company is no longer going to number Air Jordans (they stopped at 23) they are going to call the shoe by the year, so the next Air Jordan shoe will be the "Air Jordan 2009." The (White) version will be released in February and the (Black) version will be released in April. Both will be limited. Retail price will be $190. Pictures courtesy of Fatboykickz and VMVINC. |

 Why Michael Jordan wore 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. In case you're wondering, Jordan wore the Air Jordan 5 shoe in that game. |

| Was it the shoes that helped MJ extend his career? Yeah. Michael Jordan credits the invention and use 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 shiny patent leather) was the first Air Jordan shoe to have a carbon fiber shank plate. The carbon fiber shank plate took pressure off his knees and arches, which is why MJ insists on having some form of shank plate in his shoes even to this day. |

| Stop your shoes from squeaking. The Retro 10 and Retro 11 Low are prone to start squeaking after wearing them a few times. If you're having this problem you can 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 in the shoe. We cannot guarantee this will stop the squeaking, but a lot of people who tried it said the squeaking has stopped. We're just passing along the tip. |

 The story behind the Nike "swoosh" logo. Who came up with the infamous Nike "swoosh" logo? It was actually designed by a female Portland State University student who received $35 from the founder of Nike to create the logo. Yes, you read that right. A lousy $35. But after Nike became successful they decided to give her some stock in the company along with a gold Nike ring. The swoosh logo is supposed to represent the wing of the Greek Goddess "Nike" who was the Goddess of Victory. |

| Jordan almost became a New York Knick. In Spike Lee's book, Best Seat in the House, Spike tells the story of how in late 1996 he and MJ were talking after shooting a commercial together. Spike asked MJ if there was ever a chance he could have left the Bulls and gone to the Knicks. MJ said, "There was a chance." Spike couldn't believe it. MJ went on to say, "Before I signed with Chicago last year, after we won, it came down to 30 minutes. New York was right downstairs. The Bulls---all they had to do was mess up." What Jordan meant by that is if Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner of the Bulls, had made an insulting offer MJ would have walked away and signed with the Knicks. Thankfully, the Bulls offered Jordan $30 million for a one year contract and the legend continued. |

| You can help shut down stores/websites that sell FAKES. Pic1 There are a ton of websites on the internet that sell Fake shoes. Ebay is full of Fakes. Fakes have even made their way into neighborhood stores. If you find Air Jordans in colors that were never released selling for really low prices (usually around $100 or less) that should trigger a signal in your head. Remember, if it's too good to be true it usually is. What's worse is that Fakes are also made in the same colors as the authentic pairs, which makes them harder to spot. What can you do to stop it? Nike is aware of this problem and they are cracking down on stores and websites that sell Fakes. They setup a special email address so you can report those websites or stores. Send an email to COUNTERFEIT@NIKE.COM If a website is selling fakes give them the link to the website. If you know of a store in your area that is selling Fakes give them the name and address of that store. Nike will investigate and take further action. |
