When they said that age was nothing but a number, they must have been speaking about Michael Jordan. At his MJ Flight School, the G.O.A.T. took to the court to show the kids a thing or two about the game of Basketball. During a demonstration MJ took to the sky for a dunk. Yes, 50 years old and dunking. There is a reason they call him “His Airness.”
Mike was wearing the Air Jordan I Mid “True Blue.” The Air Jordan I draw its inspiration from the Air Jordan III “True Blue” - which is one of the few colorway that MJ never had the chance to play in. The Air Jordan III was a great shoe in itself as MJ wore that sneaker for his famous “from the free throw line” dunk which won him The NBA Dunk Contest back in 1988 where he took on Dominique Wilkins as the went head to head in this grueling competition. Kind of makes you wonder if he still has that in him.
“It gotta be the shoes”? Maybe but MJ appears to be in great shape and looks to still has the game in his blood.
