Michael Jackson "BAD" 1987 Japan Tour:
The BAD World Tour began in September 1987 in Tokyo, spanning 14 massive sell-out stadium shows across Japan before traveling globally. It broke all attendance records and showcased Michael Jackson at the absolute peak of his creative power.

This vintage shirt has been kept in wonderful storage condition since 1987 and has never been worn. To ensure it is clean and ready for display or use, it has been carefully hand-washed once prior to listing. As a result of long-term storage over nearly four decades, there is a very faint, light natural yellowing/tanning on the collar line and a single microscopic speck on the left sleeve. The graphic print remains sharp, solid, and incredibly clean without heavy cracking. Only the T-shirt shown in the photos is included. Please check all photos carefully to confirm the actual visual condition. Sourced from a clean, pet-free, and smoke-free environment.
