Michael Jordan famously wore the Air Jordan 3 in the 1988 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, where he put on one of the most impressive dunk performances of all time. During the contest, MJ wore the 'White Cement' colorway of the shoe, which featured a white leather upper with cement grey and red accents.
Jordan's performance in the contest is now legendary and is often considered one of the greatest individual performances in NBA history. One of Jordan's most iconic dunks of the night was his free-throw line dunk, where he took off from the free-throw line, soared through the air, and slammed the ball home with one hand. This dunk has become one of the most famous dunks in basketball history, and it was even immortalized in a statue outside the United Center in Chicago.
