If one thing's certain about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's political career is that he can get people riled up about issues. There's a new issue with Christie that's sure to make readers feel some type of way, and it's centered around what he's wearing on the cover of The New Yorker.

In an artist rendering, Christie is seen lacing up a pair of "Concord" Air Jordan XIs. He looks to be getting ready for the upcoming 2016 presidential campaign, of which he's expected to run. If he can put in work like MJ did in those sneakers, then he has a fighter's chance.

But these wouldn't be the first pair of Jordans to grace the White House. Maybe it's just an indication that this election will be just as rigged as your local sneaker raffle.
