Are you a fan of the shoes Michael Jordan made famous? If so, you might want to join the hundreds (thousands?) of fans of MJ and his eponymous shoes who will converge at his statue outside the United Center at noon this Saturday to shoot the final scene of the documentary "Jordan Heads." Billed as "the most anticipated sneaker documentary ever," Saturday's shoot caps four years of production on the film.

The documentary looks at the phenomenon created by Air Jordans and look at the shoes' influence on pop culture as described by "world-renown collectors, Hollywood entertainers, NBA players, Hip-Hop stars, journalists, brand marketers and other famous sneaker addicts."

At Saturday's wrap, fans of the man and his Nikes will attempt to set the world record for the most people wearing Air Jordans at the same place at the same time. Chicagoist will be sad to see the current record fall... we're willing to bet that that our middle school set it circa 1990.
