Foot Locker introduces a special Michael Jordan Funko Pop to celebrate the talented basketball athlete and sneaker mogul. The bobblehead collectible is wearing his signature bright red Chicago Bulls basketball jersey with his iconic "23" number on it.
The figurine is designed to mimic the famously photographed silhouette of Jordan at the 1987-88 Slam Dunk Contest. He is holding a basketball in one hand and wearing the Air Jordan Cement 3's and the silhouette went on to represent the Jumpman logo of his sneaker label. The Michael Jordan Funko Pop collectible is highly limited to only 45 pieces and will be launching at 'POP by Foot Locker' throughout all the retailer's national locations for the week.
