From a national nike shoes sale title-winning shot as a college freshman in 1982 to a record-setting championship season in 1996, MJ’s career was defined by winning.

The Air Jordan XI Win Like ‘96 celebrates his professional supremacy in a color scheme new to the silhouette. Featuring premium patent leather with brilliant red and an icy translucent outsole, this colorway becomes the boldest Air Jordan XI tribute to Chicago yet.

Not having that stage could make it less important for Christian Pulisic to feel the need to possibly leave Europe and play in the U. S.
