Posted: 22 Dec 2009 05:45 PM PST

Michael Jordan's 11 Best Games in the Air Jordan 11In the spring of 1995, Michael Jordan returned from baseball wearing new shoes and a new number. While Jordan would start the comeback in the Air Jordan X and donning the number 45, he eventually would change numbers and change sneakers. As a final result, he went back to the famous 23 and the infamous Air Jordan XI.

The Air Jordan XIs would be best known as Jordan’s wheels for the famed 95-96 season that saw the Bulls go 72-10 en route to their 4th championship. The classic shoe was produced in several classic colorways, each of which MJ made history in.

Click here to see Michael Jordan’s 11 best games while he laced up with the Air Jordan 11. With the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” a day away, why not go back in time to see why this shoe is so special?
