In last week's game against the Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tony Wroten experienced a footwear malfunction when the sole of his right shoe came off while trying to drive against Evan Turner.

Wroten wrecked shoes were a pair of Nike's Air Jordan 10 "red varsity" sneakers, Delaware Online reported.

He commented, "It was more embarrassing than anything." But a couple of days after the incident, Wroten received a surprising message from the Royal Airness himself, Michael Jordan, according to Yahoo News.

He said, "Things happen. I got an apology from Jordan. Yeah...he called my agent."

But it seems Jordan should prepare more personal apologies since Wroten is not the only one who experienced the same problem.

In Feb. 26, Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs went through the same embarrassing ordeal when his Air Max Closers exploded. Hilariously, Ginobili's foot went straight through his shoe as he attempted to move left while trying to guard Detroit Pistons' Rodney Stucky, according to Mashable. Due to the damage, his shoe ended up riding on his ankle.

A week later, Andrew Bogut of the Golden State Warriors had to stop in the middle of the game to change after the sole of his Nikes tore off, SB Nation reported.

The first Air Jordans (AJ I) made their public debut in 1985. Designed by Peter Moore, the color combination of the shoes was patterned after the red-and-black uniform of Jordan's team, the Chicago Bulls.

However, since the shoes did not meet the on-court dress code, then-NBA commissioner David Stern banned them from the court. But despite its outlaw status, Jordan still wore the shoes even though he was slapped with a fine of $5,000 every time he stepped on the court with the AJ I.

Nike then used the status of the shoes and Jordan's penalties as promotional tools and implied in advertisements that anyone who wears the shoes will gain an unfair advantage in the game.
