Instead of taking the fine, MJ broke out the Air Flight Ones. (Rumor has it that he got them from Penny)...The last two games, MJ wore the black/white XI's, which later became known as the infamous Space Jams.

Let me help you jog your memory:Originally Posted by sooperhooper

The NBA we't gonna fine him due to the designs...It was the color that came into the question. MJ was wearing white shoes while the rest of the team was wearing black shoes.
I recall Nike doing this on purpose with the Is... was this another marketing ploy but this time with XIs?
Possibly. Personally I think Mike was just excited to break out the XI's early.
Often in MJs career, he would wear the next year model of the shoe before the season began: 17s while the 16s were out. 14s during the NBA finals....
I wouldn't say "often". I can remember back to as far as the V's, MJ would wear the last color of the series for the beginningof the season, and then break out the "new" AJ around all star break. He would then finish the season wearing the current model...
So it went like this....
1990-1991: Started out wearing White/Fire Red V's, switched to White/Infared VI's around the All Star Break, and wore Black/Infared VI's for thePlayoffs.
1991-1992: Started with the Carmine VI's, Bordeux VII's for the ASG, White/Red/Grey VII's for remainder of the season. Black/Red VII's forPlayoffs.
1992-1993: Cardinal VII's for Start of the season, Aqua VIII's for ASG, White/Red VIII's for remainder. Black/Red VIII's for playoffs.
1994-1995: Baseball IX's and X's...
1995: Chicago X's for remainder of the season. Black/Red X's against Charlotte in the Playoffs, White/Black XI's, Air Flight One, and Space JamXI's against the Magic in Round 2 of the Playoffs....
1995-1996: White/Black XI's for entire Season, White/Columbia XI's for ASG, Black/Red XI's for playoffs...
1996-1997: White/Black and White/Red XII's for season. Black/White XII's for ASG. Playoffs he wore black/white XII's for Home games, and black/redfor road games...
1997-1998: White/Black and White/Red XIII's for season, Black/White XIII's for ASG. Playoffs, he wore Black Black/White XIII's for Home Games,Black/Red XIII's for road games. He also mixed it up with a few XIII PE Lows. The Finals against the Jazz he wore XIII's and XIV's.
The Wizards years, I didn't keep track that much since he wore some Team crap as well...
He also wore the XIV a couple games against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Sorry, but you're mistaken. I can GUARANTEE you he did not wear the XIV's till the Finals. He did wear all black XIII lows against thePacers. That might be what you saw.
Trust me on this. 10 Years ago, it was all the talk on Nikepark.
