Everybody from Chicago always wants to take pride in Michael Jordan playing for the Bulls but he’s from here in Wilmington, North Carolina. His mom was born in Rocky Point, North Carolina which is the neighboring town to Wilmington. Wilmington and Rocky Point touch. His dad was born in Wallace, North Carolina which is an hour and a half away from Wilmington, North Carolina. Michael Jordan’s a North Carolina fan. UNC everything. He even said that it doesn’t matter what sport or anything he is UNC everything. Michael Jordan’s family moved from Wilmington, North Carolina up to New York for a couple of years before he was born and then moved back to Wilmington, North Carolina when Michael was only a few months old. He’s not a Chicago fan for anything and he’s not yours. You can take pride in your teams but Michael Jordan’s not yours to brag about. He still comes and watches us play high school sports, not just basketball, but all sports. I’m from Wilmington, North Carolina and I was born and raised here. I love this town and so does Michael Jordan. His mom has a house here at the beach.

I’m 44 but every 5 years or so I try and buy a pair of 3, 4, 5 and/or 11s. Those have always been the my favorites and brings back a sense of nostalgia.

Same here, I. 42 and I'm no sneaker head but I try to spoil myself every couple years. Usually the ones or threes. Man, back in 96/97 I had a pair of low top Chicago 2s I loved them.

Don C is just a dude I want to chill with for a day bro seems so down to earth.

It's one thing to sell a ton of kicks, it's history when you create an invaluable industry, culture, and design ethos. We really owe them a tremendous amount of gratitude. Good work Complex

Glad complex did this, a lot of people don’t realize all the stuff that is popular today really stems from Chicago. Jordan’s? Chicago. Yeezys? Chicago. Off-whites? Chicago.

Proud to be at Chicago now, this great city open his arms for me and my wife and my mother before me more than 20 years ago and treated me like a native son, now my daughters are being born and raised in CHICAGO, couldn't be happier!!!

Yo I feel the same kinda way. Born in 1984, watching all those championships, and seeing greatness before your eyes. I was in awe. Being 35 I still am rocking my Jay's. I'll never stop repping Chicago. I'm happy to always say "I'm from Chicago" Michael Jordan means everything to me. I'll never stop repping and rocking my Jordan's. Michael Jordan literally changed the game in every aspect of life. Nike wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for Michael Jordan, and Chicago.

I love the culture of Chicago and it’s fashion

Just another feather that makes Michael Jordan the G.O.A.T.

Darnay Blue lol, what? Jordan 2’s rarely ever release first off, and secondly the OG Air Jordan 2 were made in Italy like designer sneakers(which is the first time and only time a pair of Air Jordan’s were made anywhere other than Taiwan or China). So the Air Jordan 2’s are anything but cheap also considering how exclusive and limited they’ve been whenever they’re released. If anything these are the highest quality Air Jordan’s of all time. So your opinion is VERY wrong

Oh yes!! So glad this is gona be a full show on complex! Season 1 was 🔥.. didn’t know they’d come back with another!

So grateful for this series' return! keep it up Complex!

The initial culture reached farther than Chicago. I'm included from the legions that followed from North Carolina! I'm from Cherokee North Carolina. Enrolled. My Uncle was the first Native American professor in Chapel Hill. When he came home, all he talked about was "this kid" that the Heels had was the best thing he'd ever seen! I was 7 years old in 1982. On the rez here, we had 21 channels of TV, one showed all the ACC games. For some weird reason, we also had WGN! Watching straight from Chapel Hill to Chicago!

All this information is on point best channel for sneakerheads

i dont wanna do nothing in fashion and this is mad inspiring

So glad it came back! Worth the wait!

So good from you to be back man we were waiting for you!!!

Great documentary. Love how they focused on how each Jordan or Yeezy shoe has a story. One of the reasons why I got into the Jordans. Each shoe has a unique story. Lovin' the 312's. First time I've actually seen them. Also love how they emphasis that in Chicago we work together for a common cause, not against each other and try to cut each other's head's off. Chicago stand up!!!

Love this series for real! ✊🏽

Avery Weber MJ my favorite player but rings nor stats say so. Bill Russell has the rings, excluding Phil Jackson who won most of his rings as a coach. Furthermore, Wilt Chamberlain is on the stat board more than any other player in NBA history. MJ definitely changed the game and influenced the modern game on and off the court, but let’s not act like other people can’t have opinions.

This is dope... Also no one asked but, V-dot said the 350 was the first Adi with Boost technology but it was on the 2014 Crazy Light boost then more notably on the Ultra boost in Feb.2015.

RIP Virgil. This was an awesome, educational watch. About to attempt getting my first Jordans with the Air Jordan 1 Low in a few hours. Whether I manage to get em or not, I appreciate them getting me to search and find this video.

ALL SNEAKERS HAVE STORIES Fast forward like 6 years later I'm waiting for my big bro to leave early in da morning so I can put on his aqua 8s (with out him knowing) and walking home from school fast as fuc making sure I get home before he does so I can put dem back in HIS box

May 6th 1989 was my 11th b-day, & the 1st pair that I got on my b-day, instead of every Christmas. I'm sure that plays some small part as to why 4's r my favorite, but not really. I held out for the black pair, but I feel in love with the 4's the day they came out.

Chicago has big influence on fashion and sneakers culture I need to go over and hit those boutique stores... That's cool they help each other and are cool to this day some spots like where I'm from you can't get that type bond
