Thirteen All-Star Game appearances, three All-Star Game MVP awards. Michael was without question the baller of ballers during the February classic, starting at the young age of 21 in his rookie year all the way to age 39 during his final season with the Washington Wizards. Throughout those thirteen All-Star Game appearances, Michael has been at the center of attention, whether it be for his magnificent displays of dominance (dropping 40 points in ’88), or his not-Top Ten moments (clunking a dunk attempt off the back of the rim). Check out this nice retrospective of all of Michael Jordan’s All-Star Game Air Jordans and the highlights from each appearance, and be sure to vote for your favorite All-Star game kicks at the very end!
1985 – Air Jordan 1 ‘Red/White/Black’ – Michael Jordan’s first All-Star Game appearance would not go smoothly; Isiah Thomas and a group of other Eastern Conference All-Stars allegedly ‘froze out’ Michael in the game by not passing him the ball. Isiah Thomas refuted the accusations of the attempted ‘black-balling’, but the media continued to play up the story and helped build one of the most bitter rivalries in NBA history.
–
1987 – Air Jordan II ‘White/Red/Black’ – After missing the ’86 game due to injury, Michael returned to the All-Star Game one night after winning the 1987 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. The Eastern Conference would go on to lose the game to the West in overtime. Michael played just 24 minutes throughout the extended game, despite garnering the most votes in the entire league.

I'ma old head, so when i look back at the older photos, I remember how Nike had us young shoeheads watching the AllStar game to see what the latest Js looked like. The new commercials would always kick up right around AllStar break and the hype would get real, then MJ would take the court in some fresh. After that you had to go get them. It was a hell of a lot easier for me to get them back then. I don't miss the late 80s/early 90s very often, but when it comes to copping shoes, those days were the best days of my life. Lines were unheard of back then, and the servers didn't crash because there was no Internet.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:30 am
To would-be collectors. This is just a waste of money.
You have been a Nike victim all along and they made tons of money out of you all.
But if you buy AND wear them, then you're making your money's worth. At least you enjoy wearing them…not just your eyes.
February 27th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
GOAT ………….fk kobe……….i can honestly say as a younger sneakerhead that MJ is the main reason i got into the madness of AJ collecting……….unlike these new reselling hypebeasts ruining the game………miss the older days

:As these different cniluenfes came collectively, a distinctly Cuban taste and model developed, which is reminiscent of nation peasant kinds of cooking by oral custom and eye, rather than relying on distinct measurements and the development of dishes that tend towards the uncomplicated and hearty, and that can be left on their unique to simmer. Fussy, major sauces are abnormal and deep-frying is just not a favored cooking system. The island nation, by natural means, uses a wonderful deal of seafood in its cuisine, which encourages the use of effortless cooking strategies and spicing that is meant to boost, not smother, all-natural flavors.
