The P-51 Mustang is considered one of the most well-known and best fighter planes of the WW2 era. It may even hold GOAT (or – greatest of all time) status for some aircraft historians and enthusiasts. It is no wonder, then, that the P-51 Mustang helped inspire the design for the fifth signature shoe model of the NBA’s own up-and-coming GOAT, Michael Jordan.
