John Buccigross Wears Original 1985 Air Jordan 1 On SportsCenter

Generally known as one of ESPN's coolest anchors, John Buccigross just endeared himself to the sneakerhead community.

On tonight's broadcast, "Bucci Mane" was spotted wearing the "Chicago" Air Jordan 1 on SportsCenter. However, this isn't just any pair of Jordan 1s — it's an original pair bought by Buccigross himself back when they released in 1985. Sneaker Twitter went crazy when the Sunday show aired, which prompted Bucci to confirm that last tidbit.

It's not often great sneaker moments take place on SportsCenter, and there probably won't be a better one anytime soon.

Yes. Bought them in 1985. https://t.co/EvKaaGQXG7
