To surprise of no one, Michael Jordan statue now wearing Nike skates

Posted Jun 1, 2010
Last week we reported on the outrage from some corners of sports fandom over a Chicago Blackhawks Jonathan Toews sweater being placed on the Michael Jordan statue in front of United Center for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But the most outrageous thing was the audacity in taking the Man On Whom NIKE Was Built and dressing him in Reebok skates. From the looks of things, NIKE and Brand Jordan didn't waste time in correcting that fashion faux pas. (Yahoo! Sports)
