MJ collectors please feel free to chime in here.. I need to get some information about these 1986 game used Air Jordan 1. As you can see it has a foot support and ankle collar built into the shoe (the shoes were actually deconstructed, then what seems like a metal or plastic plate was inserted into the back heel section, and everything was stitched and glued back together). The shoes also feature what appears to be a custom Nike orthotic insert. From what I've gathered, such drastic measures were probably put into place because Michael was so adament about returning to the court against the advice of doctors and team personnel. The question now becomes, how rare are these? If anyone can provide additional info and/or pictures from the 14 games MJ played in after his foot injury I would be indebted to you forever! Thanks so much

PS yes they do have the appropriate PS player sample tagging.

I do have these pictures from the 3/21/86 Celtics game (4th game back from injury) but as you can see they are quite grainy when enlarged..
