Today, thousands of people at Staples Center here in Los Angeles – and millions more across the globe – celebrate the life and work of Michael Jackson. We call ourselves fans, but really that’s an understatement and a misnomer. We stood in awe of his talent and originality, and we stand there still, reeling from the sudden loss of this icon.

Here at LaGearNews.com, we have been reminded over the past days of Michael’s impact on pop culture and fashion, specifically via his relationships with Pepsi and LA Gear.Countless emails and comments have come in about the famed LA Gear “MJ” sneakers he
inspired, and an equal number of calls for a revival of the product. At its core, the groundswell represents an outpouring of affection for Michael and an acknowledgment of his influence beyond his music. This movement began even prior to his passing. Since the release of the updated Unstoppable line by current brand-owner ACI last December, there has been a lot of dialogue among fans old and new, about bringing back the “MJ” collection.
Like so many of you, we’d love to see the sneakers come back so we can be part of a new chapter in the unique relationship Michael had with those who loved him. While we can’t confirm any details at the moment, we have shared many of the comments we’ve received with ACI and Sportie LA, and we know that they’ve taken the fans’ sentiments to heart. They have expressed an interest in reaching out to one of the many charities with whom Michael worked so closely and possibly collaborating with them in some way.Please stay tuned to www.LaGearNews.com for more, and please continue to share your thoughts with us.
Best wishes,

Yes I remember these shoes were the best in my day. MJ, you will be missed.
I had a conversation with a friend last Thursday about MJ’s passing. Her nieces and nephews who are only around 8, or 9 do not really get it, but teenagers around 13 they kind of get it. But I was one of the people that didn’t get the Elvis thing, but I get Michael (new face and all)…
: )
I didn’t get Elvis until I was about 20. And the funny thing about Michael is that I got him when I was 12 and it stuck with me, through all his strange and mysterious changes, that impact hit – what’s cool is that it’s around 12 or 13 that you pick up on this stuff and it could be sneakers or music or whatever, but it stays with you forever!
oh, please revive the MJ shoe line! Romania begs u to! oh, and please add Romania on ur shipping lists
thank you
we wanna see it happen too! And i’ve let Sportie LA know about your request for shipping!
MJ? Is this true? Is this company making the shoe again? I just heard this from a friend. I have the originals, but they are in pretty bad shape. Tell me the truth, is this for real? Just marketing I suspect. Right?
We’ve definitely expressed to the powers that be at LA Gear the strong support fans have for reviving the MJ! They are really into the idea and we’ll let you know more as soon as we do but nothing’s been confirmed. I can tell you it’s not a marketing ploy to put the idea out there, the idea’s come from you guys… let’s keep our fingers crossed!
PLEASE bring back the MJ shoe collection! I am DYING to get my hands on them, pluss, they really ARE a good product in general i think – too good to NOT exist anymore.
On behalf of Norway – PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, nothings greater then to honor michael by walking in his shoes!:)
peace be with you Michael.
Bring back the MJ LA Gears!!!
Please bring us the Michael Jackson collection back.
PLEASE bring back the MJ L.A. Gears! I totally support this! I will definitely be buying a pair if they are released again.
Please please!
PLEAASEEE BRING BACK THE MJ COLLECTION!!! I can guarantee they’ll sell wicked fast. There are so many people that would buy them; I swear MJ’s fanbase has gotten even bigger since June 25th.. I was too young to experience when these sneakers originally came out, and MJ has a lot of fans that are teens and missed out too, and we would LOVE them!! PLEASEEEEEEEEE BRING THEM BACKKK!!!
ever since i was a super little kid and i heard about these shoes i have been wanting to get some so so badly!!!!!!!
but of course they were “out of style” i guess
and i could never find them
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow this line to come back i still and dying to wear them
i love those shoes soooooo much
even if i wasn’t an MJ fan i would still be going crazy to get them!!!
please make them again
Amazing how you don’t have a site to contact LA Gear with a negative comment. I bought a pair of Break Point sneakers just 3 weeks ago and already there is tear in one of the seams. So much for quality.
We can’t confirm anything, but it’s looking promising as far as bringing back the MJs… We do know that it takes months to get something like that done, but we’re on it and the first news of any plans will be posted here!
LA gear is re-doing their corporate site so for now we are passing all comments along to them – our blog focuses on the LA Gear Originals line, so we don’t know too much about the Break Point but we have let them know about this…
PLEASE BRING BACK THE MICHAEL JACKSON MOON ROCKERS!!! They are an awesome shoe and I want them so bad and can’t find them anywhere! Not even pictures online! Pleaseeee bring them back!!
(just read the comment by mr. rephurn) Thank you so much for keeping us updated!!!
I have inherited an original pair, unused and still in the box of these MJ LA Gear shoes. Sadly I’m not a fan and am looking to perhaps sell these shoes if they are in demand. Any idea what they might be worth?
Thanks.
It would be absolutely amazing for the fans and brilliant marketing. please bring back the line. i know i would do anything to have a pair of michael jackson sneakers. i would never wear them for fear of hurting them tho lol. you should totally bring it back. it would be so awesome.

Thanks for your comment! It’s amazing how people from all over the world, Spain, the US, the Netherlands, you name it, all want the MJs back!
I’m sure the whole MJ line would be a hit if it were revived. Please bring it to the states!
Well, Portugal is also asking LA Gear to bring back Michael Jackson’s collection, all of them, ASP. It would be a great selling marketing strategy for your company and would also leave many of us happy.
Please bring MJ line back! And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it to Russia too!!! You can’t imagine how many MJ’s fans are here!!!! You would earn a lot of money with the line here in Russia. It’s thrilling just to think that it would be possible to by MJ’s shoes!!!
I have a pair of MJ black/gold hightops (moonwalk shoes) that have never been worn and come with the extra set of black and gold shoe laces. They are a women’s 6 1/2 and are in excellent condition if anyone is interested in buying them????
goooooooooood!! i want those shoes so badlyyyy :c
PLEASE PLEASE bring them to Chile too (L)
i really think these shoes would be a GREAT selling marketing strategy for the company
