Features of the iconic collaboration are evident on the shoes. For example, Jordan’s signature is inked in black at the heel. The embroidered Swooshes are the show stealers of the shoe. To enhance the design, the metallic gold Wings logo is cleverly embellished on the heels. While these creations are some of the best, one thing that continues to bother fans is the allegations of backdooring against Marcus Jordan.

Backdooring claims haunt Marcus Jordan once more
The Trophy Room had to struggle with backdooring allegations during his first collaboration with Chicago Bulls legend and father, Michael Jordan. In the last episode of Complex‘s show “Full Size Run,” Marcus opened up about the controversy. He shared how there was an unnamed individual who was responsible for the entire situation. Even when he found out about the issue, there wasn’t much for him to do and improve the situation. This is why he chose to be silent on the matter.
