In what might have been the most difficult series during the Chicago Bulls’ entire championship era (Knicks fans will argue to the contrary), an aging Jordan-Pippen-Rodman trio gutted out a gritty win in seven games against the Indiana Pacers. The difficulty of this seven-game victory was likely one of the key factors in MJ choosing to go out on top for the second time, and now about a year after last year’s backhanded compliment of a ‘Cavs’ AJIV, the ‘Squadron Blue’ Air Jordan XIII pours some salt on old wounds. They’re not even called ‘Pacers’ despite the fact that two of Indiana’s current players have worn them this year, but the atypically dynamic navy and yellow mix is indeed a more energetic rendition of the Central Division foe’s long-established palette. We’re expecting these on February’s second Saturday and you can see more images after the jump below.
