(1) Air Jordan III – Black/Cement
The Air Jordan III debuted during the 1988 All-Star Weekend, one that Michael Jordan dominated from beginning to end. After winning the Slam Dunk Contest with the historic free-throw line dunk, Michael proceeded to drop forty points during the main All-Star Weekende vent while wearing the Black/Cement III. The forty point performance garnered him his first All-Star Game MVP trophy (one of three in his career), cementing the Air Jordan III Black/Cement as one of the most historic Air Jordans of all time.

(1) Air Jordan XI – Concord
Michael’s return to the game in 1995 was one of the biggest sports stories of the decade. After returning for just seventeen regular season games, Michael was ready for battle in the Playoffs. The Air Jordan XI made its unofficial debut during the second round series against the Orlando Magic; the dazzling black patent leather paired with the pristine white upper quickly caught the eye of sneaker freaks and Jordan fanatics everywhere, and despite an early Playoff exit in 1995, Michael utterly dominated the league in the following season – with credit going to the Air Jordan XI.
