In our popular Michael Jordan Through The Years ongoing feature, Sneaker News spent one week focusing on all the sick shoes that Jordan wore on his feet – shoes that were not Air Jordans. Being a signature Nike athlete meant Michael was spotted wearing a random selection of shoes, like the Air Huarache runner pictured above whilst posing with his hardware, but before writing his name down in ink, Jordan had other brands on his feet – mostly Converse during his college days and even adidas, a brand that pushed really hard to sign the guy back in the mid-80′s. Check out some of the notables below and head to Complex for the full list.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star is an American icon, so it’s only right that plenty of pairs have released with stars and stripes over the years. Here’s a unique new take on that motif that applies polka dots instead of stars for what amounts to a set of dueling patterns. But especially with red and white/grey stripes, it’s natural to see this visual as an extension of the Americana the Chuck’s classic canvas build and medial ankle patch represent worldwide. Have a closer look below, then find yours at select retailers including the UK’s Size?

Though thoroughly invested in a variety of other patterns, Converse has been slow to join in on the floral print trend. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi is a natural choice for ending the drought thanks to its ‘blank’ canvas construction, and we’re guessing with the highly wearable color ranges in play on these two that plenty of guys will be jealous that these only come in smaller womens sizes. One uses a white base, the other blue, but it’s best if you just click through to examine them up-close for yourself. Once you’ve seen the photos and made a choice, look to grab them at select retailers like Size?
