The converse all star, the most ubiquitous sneaker in the history of…history, is finally getting a sequel. Yes, nearly a century after its original debut in 1917, Converse has faced the challenge of following up on one of the most successful, duplicated, and bleed-American retail products ever created, and this July 28th, the sneaker brand will finally unveil the long-awaited second chapter.

There's a lot behind this pair of Fastbreak Mid; it's the shoe that MJ won his first Olympic Gold Medal as part of the U.S. National Team (this was prior to NBA players being eligible to represent the country), and it's the last non-Nike shoe that Jordan ever wore. Despite the rich history behind these kicks, $50,000 is quite a steep price and only the most hardcore and financially devoted of collectors would take notice, but it's still less than half of what the original Flu Games sold for.
