Michael Jordan set just about every fashion trend that mattered in the 1990s, when he made bald heads, baggy shorts and black socks not only acceptable but stylish. A decade after his retirement, not so much.

Since its founding, “WTFisMikeWearing” has grown into a cult sensation on the Internet and was even mentioned in Sports Illustrated’s recent article about Jordan turning 50 years old.
