Complex’s The 50 Worst NBA Players To Wear Air Jordans

The thought of living up to Michael Jordan’s standards is frightening, isn’t it? It would be tough to perform under the pressure of Jordan’s watchful eye (Exhibit A: Kwame Brown), and over the years, the players in the NBA who rocked Air Jordans proudly didn’t quite play on par of Jordan’s approval, with the exception of Melo, Wade, and CP3. Complex gives us a nice retrospective of NBA players who wore Air Jordans, but in a unusual spin – ranking them 1-50 from bad to worst. Not all of these guys are official Jordan Brand athletes, but fans of the sneakers that just happened to wear them in-game, but do you agree with this list of the 50 worst NBA ballers to rock Jays? Check out some of their inclusions below and let us know what you think.

Air Jordan XIV – Eddie Jones Memphis Home PE.

Vin Baker’s Jumpman Pro Strong just got a retro release, and here’s a look at another Jordan Brand sneaker from one of their OG endorsement team. After his signatures from the late ’90s, Eddie Jones rocked several different Air Jordan franchise models, including this Air Jordan XIV PE from his time as a Memphis Grizzly. These are the ’stitched’ style AJXIVs, with lines of perforations running parallel to monochromatic stitching on the white leather side panels. ‘EJ’ embroidery on the inner ankle lets you know these are legit NBA PEs from a time when you couldn’t get them at, say, House of Hoops. A dope look for any Air Jordan completist, these are available slightly used in EJ’s size 13 from sole_supreme on eBay.
