1991- The Start of a Dynasty

If you didn't know this about me- I think old sneakers are awesome. They are a time capsule that'll bring you back to a different time.

Michael Jordan starts on the path of true goat status in 1991- the year of his first NBA championship. In 1991, Michael Jordan is seven years into his career with the bulls and already making a splash. Will Smith is rocking the Grape 5's on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, making his shoes synonymous with pop culture. He's become the first player in NBA history to win MVP, all-star MVP, and DPOY in one season. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen have a chip on their shoulder after losing in game seven to the Detroit Pistons (motor city bad boys!) in the 1990 championship. They get it back in 1991 against the Pistons, sweeping them in four games. The Jordan 6 is the shoe he wore to do that.

By the end of his career, he won six championships with the bulls and solidified himself as one of the most complete basketball players that's ever played. People often criticize Jordan in how he went about doing it. They say he could've been nicer, easier to get along with. Fact of the matter is though, he did what he had to do to become a legend.

(Detroit jacket is available for sale in The Breezy Store. It is an original Motor City Bad Boys satin bomber jacket. While Dennis Rodman was still with the Pistons, that was the nickname given to the team in the late 80's and early 90's. The name came from the team's aggressive, almost dirty play style)
