Nearly a decade after he played his last NBA game, Michael Jordan remains the personification of cool when it comes to hoops. Nothing proves that point better than the continued popularity of his Brand Jordan shoes, which reportedly gross more than $1 billon a year in revenue.

Unfortunately, Jordans are so cool that some teenagers are still willing to do whatever it takes to get a pair.

WCNC.com reports that a Charlotte, N.C., teen is being hit with felony robbery charges after allegedly robbing two people of their Air Jordan sneakers at gunpoint.
