The Michael Jordan Flight Schools are annual basketball camps available for both youths and adults to join in. In these camps, Michael Jordan and his colleagues teach the attendees basic fundamentals of basketball. Throughout the years, MJ has been known to wear some unreleased shoes, and this years youth camps did not disappoint!

ISS Forum’s member dandill23 was one of the lucky people who attended the camp this year. He wrote about a few different pairs that MJ wore during the different days of the week, but the only clear shot of the shoes was from a team shot, where MJ was wearing White/Gold XX3’s-reminiscent of Gentry Humphery’s pair that he wore during the Jordan Brand All-American Classic game earlier this year in New York.

Another ISS Forum’s member named KING XERKSES also attended the camp, but he was fortunate enough to snap some pictures of MJ’s XX3’s during one of the sessions. These are very similar to the pairs Jordan Brand players received during the All-Star game this year. Here are some of his pictures.
