Michael Jordan is known for serving it up on the basketball court, but he’s also known for his slam dunk fashion sense. Even with a towering 6-foot-6 frame, the basketball star is able to source a variety of dashing outfits, from sleek single-breasted suits to sporty leather blazers to a stylish sweat suit set. Jordan forever changed the footwear industry with the launch of his eponymous sneaker brand back in 1997, introducing the now-iconic Air Jordan 13 model. The basketball star has never been afraid to take risks on or off the basketball, whether it’s a winning slam dunk or a unique fashion piece, like a metallic quilted bomber jacket.

Fashion News goes back in time to sort through some of the basketball star and footwear industry entrepreneur Jordan’s most stylish looks through the decades.
