Air Jordan Jumpman
Interesting experience with air jordans
Air jordans, Adidas and Converse were the three main sports brands since the concept of sports shoes were invented. The other day a friend and I went to the new air jordans Store in San Leandro figuring we could score on some cheap, generic air jordans for $10 dollars or possibly less.
Initially people called the company as Blue Ribbon Sports that later became to be known as Nike. But most of Nike's glory can be attributed to the Air Jordans line of basketball sneakers. The price drop in the Jordan-line can be see not only in the air jordans line but all across the board.
I managed to pick up a pair of Air Jordan Spizike several weeks ago for $142 after taxes with promo-codes and more, which at full price would have been close to $200 out the door. The new Air Jordan Alpha 1s, once $124.99, have been reduced by almost 33% (all sizes available).
It was in the early 80s when all the other companies had signed up contracts with famous basketball stars of that time that Nike took a crucial decision of investing money on a then Rookie of the red bulls team - Michael Jordan. The first ever air jordans were designed by Peter Moore and the design did all the publicity for the product that was needed. It stirred up a controversy for Moore did not know that only white sneakers were allowed in the game. In spite of the rules, Jordan wore them after paying heavy fines.
From then on, it was Nike that was ruling the domain of basketball sneakers. It had recorded a turnover of $2.3 billion even after 2 months of public release of air jordans. From 1984 till present day 24 new designs and innovations have been added to the air jordans with Jordans 2010 range being the latest.
Due to its immense popularity and cost, there are many fake air jordans that have infected the market. Beware of them. Check for the "jumpman" logo and the hologram before buying them. The best way to avoid counterfeits is to buy your genuine Jordans from an authenticated Jordan store. A list of such stores is available in the Nike website. The website also offers you tools to design your own pair of air jordans and order them online.
Why are you waiting still? Go and grab your own pair of Jordan Sneakers and enjoy your game!
History of how we got our Air Jordan Sneakers and how our very own Air Jordan Sneakers swept the market of all the other brands. Get to know why your shoes are so special.
I had gone to factory outlets before and know the selection, colors, and sizes for shoes are all a bit off. Either that or they may be defective where the Nike swoosh is upside down.
I was browsing through the size 10 aisle and found several pairs of the same exact Air Force 1 x Jordan 3s which I had copped for $120 dollars in the fall of 2008, now only $59. It wasn't a random color (like blue x orange) but the original all-black with the grey cement/elephant printing. And there wasn't just one pair, but 3! I turned around looking at the size 10.5 shelves and found several more. Not only that, but there were a few other AF1xJordan crossovers, like the 4s, as well. All which could be had for $59.
Not only did this make me feel stupid for copping my pair for full price, a pair of shoes I have probably worn no more than 8 times for a grand total of maybe 3 hours (I usually just wear them when I step out to grocery or liquor store to pick something up quick), but I also wondered why they were so readily available, seemingly as ordinary as a pair of Reeboks. Kids and young adults hunting for kicks in the same aisle barely gave a glance at the Jordans, instead opting for low-top and high-top Nike Dunks and other shoes I had seen before on Eastbay for $29.99.
What's happening to the royal Jordan line which people once physically assaulted people for on the streets and outside of shoe stores? Is there a devaluation of the Jordan line? Or is this really about the democratization of style? air jordans for everyone? Or Jordans suddenly needing a make-over?
