Jordan mania has returned. If you've been hanging out in the Loop any, you may have noticed some fairly anxious shoppers in front of 32 S State St, just waiting to get into Nike’s first Michael Jordan–only store when it opens on Saturday.
“People have been camped out for a few days,” said Lisa Beachy, communications manager for Nike.
Shoes, tanks, hoodies, pants, you name it, Michael Jordan’s got it all for you in this massive space, which also has a basketball court, of course. Iconic photos of the man himself—as well as some MJ-inspired art—line the walls of the store. It's like a museum without the admission, though you’ll have to cough up a little dough for those sweet sneakers. In addition to all the gear you could want and more, the space will serve as a training center for high school athletes.

The Jordan Brand store—named, simply, 32 South State Street—opens Saturday, October 24. Representatives say that long line of people is expected to start moving at 6:23am.
