Jordan certainly had some iconic sneakers during his playing career. But perhaps the most popular of them all was the Air Jordan 11 Concords. From football stars to other stars in the NBA, till date the Jordan 11s are one of the most iconic sneakers ever.

While many other designs have fizzled out in the market, the Jordan 11s have remained a constant. Given how influential these Concord 11s were, it is not a big surprise to see these monumental price. Jordan also put up some iconic performances with the 11s.

In one such instance, MJ silenced a troll and in some style. While majority of the people absolutely adore the Jordan 11s, in 1995 one fan dared to call out Jordan and claimed that the Bulls’ superstar should change his sneakers instead. Coming off of three consecutive wins, MJ and the Bulls looked in top form as they were set to face off against Cleveland Cavaliers.

But in their last matchup, the Cavs had edged past the Bulls as Jordan missed a crucial game winner. MJ initially struggled against the Cavs again. Clamped down by multiple defenders, Jordan was only held to 6 points in the first half. A cocky fan even called out ‘his Airness‘ as he told him to change his sneakers.

Michael certainly heard it all. Scoring a whooping 23 points in the second half, Jordan battered the Cavs 106-88 and even poked the cocky fan who had called him out earlier. This story only says one thing, never mess with Michael Jordan.
