The Jordan 6 Rings Championship Pack

The legend that is Michael Jordan amassed huge numbers in every statistical category that exists in the game of basketball. 32,292 is the amount of points Michael scored in his career. He was an NBA Finals MVP 6 times. He was an NBA regular season MVP 5 times. He participated in 14 NBA All-Star games and was MVP in 3 of those games. I could keep going, but the list of Jordan's accomplishments is way too long to mention here. Perhaps the most significant number, other than the number 23, is the number 6. Michael Jordan is the owner of 6 NBA championship rings.

The Jordan 6 Rings Air Jordan shoe is a celebration of Michael's unique achievement. Jordan Brand dropped a Jordan 6 Rings "Championship Pack" which includes a pair of 6 Rings representing each of the teams that Michael and the Bulls defeated on the way to their 6 championships. Each and every pair used laser printed graphics on the shoe's upper. The graphics depicted elements unique to each city.

Los Angeles-Michael's first NBA championship came against Magic and the Lakers. What a way for Jordan to break through! Magic vs. Michael. A heavyweight title bout! The pair of Jordan 6 Rings that was released as part of championship pack was a tribute to Michael Jordan's first NBA Finals Championship Ring. The shoe features a white leather upper, a purple midsole, and beautiful laser print graphics on the top portion of the upper.

Do you remember the video footage of Michael shrugging his shoulders with outstretched arms running back down the court after draining what seemed like his 20th 3-pointer in a row? Michael was on fire and the Bulls rolled to their second title in as many years. The Jordan 6 Rings dropped to commemorate this title also featured a white upper with laser print graphics. The midsole used black. Black was also used on the tongue and is the only shoe in the pack with a solid-colored tongue.

Phoenix-Michael's next victim was Charles Barkley and the Suns. It took a six games for Jordan and the Bulls to dispatch of Barkleys' Suns and earn Michael his third ring. Orange and purple of course, are the staples of the 6 Rings commemorating this championship.

Seattle-This series featured two of the all-time great trash-talkers in the game. Gary Payton and the man himself. As we all know, Michael was the only one of the two that was able to both talk the talk and walk the walk. The 6 Rings honoring this NBA finals included a green pine colored midsole, white upper, and laser graphics celebrating the Emerald City.

Utah-The Jazz and John Stockton and Karl Malone had the dubious distinction of losing twice to Michael and the Bulls in NBA Championship finals. One of the greatest guard-forward combo's of all time just couldn't get it done. Jordan's final shot would bring him and the Bulls a sixth NBA Finals championship. A classy metallic silver, light blue and purple were used on this pair of 6 Rings.

6 NBA Finals championships, 6 Rings, 5 pairs of Jordan 6 Rings. A whole lot of numbers.. All 5 of these Jordan 6 Rings are special because of the championships they represent. The list of Jordan shoes for basketball grew by 5 as a direct result of the epic achievements of the greatest basketball player of all time. It is not too late to get yourself a pair of one of these 5 timeless Jordan shoes.
