Michael Jordan<\/strong> is an icon in every sense of the word. Even in the era of social media where celebrities and athletes seem closer and more accessible than ever, MJ is still a figure you’d be stunned to see in real life.<\/p>\n

For attendees of Michael Jordan’s Flight School Camp<\/strong>, seeing MJ in real life is perhaps the rarest perk of the program. For years, Mike has been known to show up at his camp and talk with attendees and even prove that he’s still got it on the court — this of course includes putting down dunks at the age of 50.<\/p>\n

So after all these years, is it still the shoes?<\/p>\n

Aside from operating as a dream factory for fans of MJ old and young, the Flight School Camp has also proved the place of premiere for many Air Jordan silos and new colorways. After debuting new kicks at this year’s Flight School Camp, we take a look back at some of the other pairs previewed by MJ during the summer sessions.<\/p>\n

Recently retired but kicking it on court, the world got an early glimpse at the Air Jordan XIX on the feet of MJ at his camp. Taking place during the pre-blog era, the shot and the shoes made a major splash on NikeTalk, creating conversation as to if these were in fact the next Air Jordan signature. These would prove to be the launch colorway of the model months later.<\/p>\n
