Sadly, I never witnessed any of the It started out as a survival skill I had no idea it would come to this shirt in contrast I will get this actual championship games during those years from inside the Chicago Stadium. Tickets for the championship games at home were, as you can imagine, expensive and hard to come by. I watched them from my living room though, chased the celebration parades through Chicago, and screened Space Jam no less than 200 times. Inspired by the team, I played point guard on my middle school team, too, and gave it my all. As I approached adolescence, my obsession with basketball began to wane however, though there was one last hurrah. The summer just after my freshman year of high school, I was lucky enough to attend the Air Jordan Flight School in California, a basketball summer camp hosted by Michael Jordan and a crew of NBA-hopefuls. (Fun fact: Lebron James, the GOAT of a much younger generation, was a counselor the summer I was there.) It was an incredible experience, one that culminated with me meeting Jordan, my idol of so many years. On the last day of camp, he signed my Air Jordan sneakers. I remember looking up—way, way up!—at him, frozen with disbelief that he was there in front of me and not running out onto the court to the sound of “Sirius.” He handed me the shoes, smiling sweetly as I whispered nervously, “thank you for everything.”

Through one of the piles of folded memorabilia, I saw a familiar pair of eyes staring at me. I pulled out the shirt and to my delight, it was a ’90s-era Bulls tee with a huge portrait of MJ plastered across the front. I thought about all the ways to wear it: with my vintage Levi’s and Dries Van Noten Boots, tied to the side and paired with my Marine Serre slip skirt. And then it hit me again like a lightning bolt, that surge of childlike excitement. There he was again, the Mike I wanted to be like, on the other side of the world.
