Jordan Brand and Michael Jordan have an interesting history with the Orlando Magic. It was the last team to ever beat MJ and the Bulls in the playoffs during their run of 6 championships, but plenty of Orlando-esque colorways have hit Jordan retros. His Airness even rocked a Penny signature model in a game when his Air Jordan 11s didn’t meet league protocol. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a number of players on the Magic’s roster have ties to Jordan Brand either, as Jeff Green and Bismack Biyombo recently laced up 2 new Air Jordan 31 Orlando Magic PEs in a game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Bismack opted for the above pictured black on black pair with a vibrant touch of royal on the Jumpman, Dynamic Flywire,a nd heel gradient. While that selection more readily ties into the ‘Away’ theme, Jeff Green decided to go a different route and lace up a white-on-white look that hid any slight signs of Swoosh side panel branding. Which pair do you prefer? Stay tuned for more Air Jordan 31 PEs on the feet of Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and more Jordan Brand athletes right here on Sneaker News.
