Before we smelled what The Rock was cookin’, Michael Jordan was the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. He had the moves, the shoes, the aura, and the winning attitude to make him an unstoppable force, and there is no man on earth who has watched Jordan play – whether it be live or through a 14″ black-and-white television – that hasn’t felt the spine-tingling shock of Jordan’s masterful performances. In 2006, Jordan Brand released a set of limited edition Air Jordan IV Retros called the Thunder and Lightning Pack. The ‘Lightning’ version featured a tonal yellow upper with navy blue and dark grey hints, and was released with a matching t-shirt in very limited quantities.
