Michael Jordan famously said in The Last Dance that in his last game at Madison Square Garden when he wore his Jordan 1 after playing in the Jordan 13 all year that the Jordan 1 soaked his foot in blood and that his feet were killing him – but why after wearing the Jordan 1 for so long did they rip his feet up so bad years later?
In this video ill explain from my perspective as a doctor, what Michael Jordan was dealing with with his feet and also what the Jordan 1 and Jordan 13 shoes had to do with it
