Mr Shut It Down's World: Race To 365...#9

Mr. Shut It Down's World: Race To 365...#9.



9. Air Jordan XII "Rising Sun"







Background: The Air Jordan XII "Rising Sun" is just a basic all white colorway of the Jordan shoe made infamous by Mike when he scored 38 points in the NBA Finals while having the flu, CLASSIC. The "Rising Sun" kicks caused a stir because the insoles of the shoe were deemed racist so they had to recalled them last minute in order to replace the insoles. So there are some "Rising Sun" kicks with the banned insoles and some with a basic all white insole.

Reason Why I Copped: The only all white shoes I wear are Air Forces so I figured I switch it up for the summer and rock these all white Jordans instead. I will be killing it in the summer rockin these joints with some linen pants, I'm ILL!!!

Date Copped: 11/20/09

9 down and 356 to go...Stay tuned until next time to see what makes the dime spot on the list?
