Surely you’ve heard the news about Michael Jackson passing away. We at TSG would like to say rest in peace MJ. A tribute to MJ’s throwback LA Gear sneakers are featured in this post. For all the people that never knew MJ had a shoe, peep the tongue. More images and video after the jump…
Damn G Roc you get mad respect from me for connecting this very sad news to sneakers. I’m still kind of shocked about the whole thing because he was only 50 and hands down the greatest child performer ever some could argue the greatest music artist ever. What makes this that much more sad is most folks will only remember Michael for the child molestation charges or how his skin colored changed but he really impacted and influenced lots of singers like Usher or whoever else dances and sings. R.I.P. MJ.
He is and always will be the GREATEST Pop artist/icon the world will ever see. No one can do what he has done with such success and outting an impact to a culture
The good die young….Thanx for all the wonderful memories. Couldn’t get enough of Thriller & Beat It, trust that….I rocked my MJ jacket (blk&red w/zippers) til the vinyl stained & ripped… My condolences goes out to the Jackson family from the bottom of my heart….
The GREATEST artist to ever live and we will never understand the magnitude of his artistry and what he has done to music on a whole. Over 50 million Thriller records sold worldwide is mindblowing. Perfect look back at his sneaker for us sneakerheads. I foresee an SB Dunk in the future to celebrate his life.
“This is Bad, Real Bad Michael Jackson”.
RIP King Of Pop
As strange as his private life was, he was an artist. In the end all that matters is he was good at his job, and he made a lot of people happy with his music. He is this generation’s Elvis.
R.I.P. Michael…. God I can’t even start to think how hard a tribute to this man will be, can you imagine where to begin?
My favorite memory of Michael was his red jacket from Thriller… every kid had one back in the 80′s
Damn, and I just got my Caked Up MJ T-Shirt in the mail today.Michael Jackson is and will always be the GOAT(Bigger than Elvis…yeah I said it…U Mad?)!! Trill Talk. I didn’t know that he had his own shoe though.
Another shocking death. I didn’t believe it either when I heard it. .I had to call my girl to confirm if it was true. You will be missed and always loved. R.I.P. MJ!
Remember The Time… That video was like a freakin movie. Its the only one I remember from that era… I felt the lost right away and it hurt.. I am only 25, but dude has been the man since I can remember.Despite all the weird stuff in his personal life, I just hope he gets all the respect he has earned. Simply the Greatest. Co-sign on the tear part. I just hate to see genuine genius die.
I agree with Nike dropping a Dunk. But, I would say take it a step beyond that. Y’all remember the MJ guarding MJ pic? Hint: (think Raptor 7′s) Drop them with the Concord 11′s (put MJ on the heel in silver metallic on the side heel)
Now, Nike pay attention!
1. They must a Global General Release!
2. No more than 250.00 retail
3. Donate all the proceeds to the almost 40 Causes he supported!
who’s bad!!!! ur bad micheal you will be missed dearly. much love and respect… my prayer’s are with you and ur family love you micheal and my hart go’s out to ur children …I’m so sad
I have these shoes in the women’s version. They are almost exactly like these men’s. The only difference I see is that I don’t have the two metal bands on the shoelaces. Mine are a size and in the same condition as these.
nike should do a tribute shoe to mj. maybe a couple shirts like one with his glove similar to the kobe mvp shirt or one where mj is moonwalking across the nike swoosh with the slogan just do it crossed out and under it say i did it
R.I.P.
.
