Michael Jordan apologizes to 76ers Tony Wroten for exploding sneaker

Y’all stand in line overnight for THESE?!? SMH…

These kids nowadays love Jordan sneakers. Majority of them never saw Mike stroke a single jumper, but they all rush to the store whenever one of his beloved shoes is re-released. We doubt this will deter them from their thirst, but it’s still funny/pathetic nonetheless.

Michael Jordan Apologizes To Tony Wroten For Exploding Shoes

Tony Wroten said he received an apology from Michael Jordan after one of the 76ers guard’s Nike basketball shoes fell apart during a loss against the Indiana Pacers on Friday in Philadelphia.

“It was more embarrassing than anything,” Wroten said Wednesday. “But things happen. I got an apology from Jordan. Yeah. … He called my agent.”

Wroten, who is known around the NBA for his vast shoe collection, made highlight reels for the wrong reason when the sole tore off the Air Jordan 10 “varsity red” sneaker on his right foot during a fourth-quarter drive to the basket. The shoes were first released in 2005.

It was the third time in about two weeks an NBA player’s Nike shoes fell apart during a game, after Manu Ginobili and Andrew Bogut also experienced issues with their kicks.
