The figure of the basketball icon is currently sold out on the Woaw Store. However, a wider release is expected to take place in August at certain locations. So's creation is a limited edition model and will have only 1000 makes. Each one of the figures will have a $306 price point. The Michael Jordan figure follows the artist's history of minimalist designs. The figure depicts Michael Jordan in a [Chicago Bulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-shorts) away uniform, as well as a pair of [Air Jordan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-air-jordan-11) 1 shoes.
