Michael Jordan's shoes are almost just as famous as he is.

Jordan's shoes carry many memories, but none carry more than the six pairs he wore to win his NBA Championships.

Over the years, Jordan's brand has re-released the shoes. They also created a shoe called the Six Rings (pictured above) which combined all six shoes into one.

This list is not only for the Jordan fan in us, but the shoe fan as well. These are the rankings of Jordan's six championship shoes from his worst to best performances.
