From the feet of well-known NBA stars like Bill Russell , the Chuck Tayler All Star celebrated its triumph over the world and is still a popular classic today . Even the music history would look different without this shoe. Musicians like Kurt Cobain , Snoop Dogg or Wiz Khalifa already rocked the sneaker. Even films like " The Fast and the Furious " do not come

I think that that will solve a lot of the problems.” TJ Jacobs, a self-proclaimed Sneakerhead and shoe store employee, offers an explanation to the reason why Michael Jordan releases a limited amount of shoes. “It wouldn’t be an exclusive shoe or as popular if everyone could get it. The shoe wouldn’t have the same value.” Jacob says he not only camps out for shoes for himself, but he buys pairs that he can sell to people who couldn’t get a pair. He says that he once bought a pair of Jordan Galaxy Rookies for $400 and sold them for $600. There is a lot of money and time invested in the marketing and selling of Jordan sneakers, and the brand continues to

In my paper i went over three things one the price of jordan's, two what is inside a jordan shoe and three how much they cost and how much the most expensive pair is. And the reason why i think jordan shoe is the shoe for you, so the next time you go out and buy shoes check out your local foot locker or finish line because that is where jordan's most likely

People that don’t think jordans are good shoes think there prices are outrageous because some are up to 300 to 400 depending on the shoe. Some individuals don’t like the shoes because it's not worth the price and they feel like they're just paying for the brand/name . Another reason why people think jordans are good shoes because some people have got shot or gotten into a fight over a pair of jordans. Another good

It sold out almost immediately all across the world. That is because people camped outside of sneaker stores for days before they were released in order to secure a pair. And just minutes after their release thousands of pairs went on eBay for 2-3 times the retail price. Even 5 years after the release, in the past year over 300 new pairs have sold on eBay for an average price premium of 181.3%. Like other releases the prices shoot up after the release, then slowly drop before picking up again later when the shoe is harder to get. It’s a cycle, that happens every week as Jordan brand releases 1, 2, or 3 new pairs. A few weekends ago Jordan Brand released the Jordan 11 “Space Jam”, a pair of shoes that Michael Jordan wore in the highest-grossing basketball movie of all-time: Space Jam. It is estimated that Jordan Brand released one million pairs… one million pairs for $220 dollars, and they still sold out within

For my specific discourse community I am studying Nike and they community of followers they have built up around their organization, but first it is important to have a good grasp on what exactly a “sneakerhead” is because they are Nikes specific target audience for limited edition shoes. With the rise of sneaker culture and sneakerheads, there has been a museum exhibit in the Brooklyn Museum to pay tribute the rise of sneaker culture (see Figure 1), there are many different sneaker shows that travel across the United States and globally, such as SneakerCon to give a space for sneakerheads to buy, sell, trade, and talk about sneakers (see Figure 2-5), and there has also been a documentary made to give a detailed look at what sneakerheads are like and how they interact with each other. In short, the documentary discusses a very popular question from within the sneaker community which is, “‘To Rock or Stock?’ Sneakerheads will do almost anything to get their hands on a unique pair of kicks, going to such extreme lengths as hiding in trash cans to score a pair of Retro Jordan 11s to camping for days in sub zero temperatures for the latest Nike Foamposites. How did sneakers become as prized as collectable art? From the shores of Cali to the congested streets of Tokyo, Sneakerheadz examines the cultural influence of sneaker collecting around the world and delves into a subculture whose proud members don’t just want to admire art, they want to wear it” (Synopsis). With unique Jordans releasing just about every Saturday and a growing desire for the shoes with the continued growth of the sneaker community, when a limited release pair comes out, people will do whatever it takes to get their hands on a pair. As a response, Nike corporate has come up with certain strategies to best create hype around the limited launches and they have also created security protocols which are

Have you ever seen someone wearing a very rare pair of shoes that you have never seen before? Have you ever wondered how they got these shoes and how much they cost? Believe it or not Nike’s Air Jordan line of shoes has been at the forefront of a decade-long sneaker craze, which has grown so much it has become its own stock market. Jordan’s have been popular for many years and it is shown throughout pop culture, the increase in price and demand, the resale market that has skyrocketed in the last five years, and the history behind the shoe that made them so popular. Jordan’s are very well advertised through several popular outlets.

Some of Ja-Cody’s favorites were the nike Huarache and Air Jordan. His friends were always jealous of the newest sneakers he had. He could just barely afford them he worked at hs local grocery store and his mom worked at a factory downtown. He really liked the more unique colorways so other people don’t have them.

Jordan brand, which is made by Nike was established in 1984. The brand is known to be premium Nike. Jordan brand is inspired by the greatest basketball player to ever play the game, Michael Jordan.

Some people are called sneakerheads. Sneakerheads are people who buy, sell, trade, and talk about sneakers. To these people, sneakers are a great thing to meet about and are good collectables. In Calling All Sneakerheads it states “...a sneaker show in Jakarta, Indonesia, dre 13,000 people.” and “ He opened the shoezeum, a museum for his 2,500 sneakers, in Las Vegas, Nevada.” If people are that serious about shoes, the shoes must be really popular and special to them. Many sneakerheads try to collect shoes that have never been worn and rare one-of-a kind

They weren’t always this huge booming business worth billions. The company's revenue went from $28.7 million in 1973 to $867 million in 83. But things started to turn on them toward the end of 1983. In February 1984, the company reported its first quarterly loss ever. Nike needed something (or someone) to carry the weight and help them regain the money they had lost. Michael Jordan always just wanted to wear Adidas in the NBA, he had no intention of signing with anyone else; “I have no interest in going there,” Falk said Jordan told him. “Just do what you need to do to get me with adidas.” (Falk was Jordan’s agent at the time) Even though Jordan had given the “orders” to stay with Adidas Falk decided that the best place for Jordan was with Nike. Jordan was so stubborn that Falk actually had to convince Michael’s parents to convince Michael to go to the meeting. They met with Strasser, designer Peter Moore, and those responsible for basketball at the company, Howard White and Sonny Vaccaro. After a video to the song Jump and 2 die-cast Mercedes cars Jordan decided that Nike was the place for him. Nike offered MJ $500,000 a year for five years, which was unheard-of at the time. The Air Jordan Is, at a price of $65 a pair, hit stores in March 1985. By May, Nike had sold $70 million worth. By the end of the year, the Air Jordan franchise had more than $100 million in revenues. In 2012, Jordan brand sold $2.5 billion worth of shoes, its best

I decided that I would have to take this study into other hands. I needed to interview other people and get different opinions. But first, I had to do my proper due diligence on the subject. To start my quest, I first needed to go over all of the background information that I could get on these sneakers, to see where it could possibly be stemming from. The first Air Jordan, or the Air Jordan I, came out in 1984, in red and

Not only are sneakers a part of my identity, they are a part of my self-expression as well. Listed in my top 5 favorites is my Air Jordan 7 Retro “Bordeaux”. The color scheme of burgundy and dark yellow mixed with black and grey is such an eye-catcher, just like my 5’10” height, brown skin complexion, and sensible fashion. The shoe brings out confidence, and as a result, I feel in control and unstoppable whenever I put them on. It goes deeper than just buying another pair of sneakers to me, they’re a declaration of my personality and
