The Michael Jordan For outside Chicago’s United Center saw a curious choice in footwear Panda this week. No, we’re not referring to the fact that MJ never wore the Air Jordan IXs sculpted onto his likeness in that building, but rather the hockey-happy makeover His Bronze Airness received. To celebrate the Blackhawks visit to this year’s Stanley Cup Finals, the For has been outfitted with a Jonathan Toews jersey, so that even Mike is showing his ‘Hawks pride. A Blackhawks jersey by Reebok is no surprise, considering RBK is the official NHL outfitter, but metal MJ’s Reebok skates were quickly replaced with a Nike/Bauer blade. Mike himself has even gone so far as to block out the Reebok insignias when he’s wearing a Blackhawks jersey, but the one on the For remains untouched. Probably the least likely hybrid we’ve ever seen a ‘sample’ of, you can check out pics and a video of the Blackhawk’d For after the jump. via Yahoo
