This shoe was absolutely mindblowing when it dropped. Nobody seen anything like this before:lupe: Plus Jordan himself was turning into a legend at the same time. It was the perfect storm.






When they dropped the 3's it was a wrap.

Once they removed the swoosh, Jordans became separated from the pack. This is what is keeping the other's stars shoes from gaining traction.

What jordans cost $400?
Some of those hard to get retros. There are some sneakerheads that have paid racks for so called exclusive retros. Some of these dudes have what they consider to be a million dollar shoe collection.

I know what you're saying, it's the cats that sit by the computer and snatch them up and then resell them on ebay. Or the the guys that "don't have to wait in line" for their Jordans, who then turn around and sell them. So you're absolutely correct, it's not the retail, but the resell that pushes the prices up.

Jordan's are more successful because of the nut hugging that EVERYONE has for Jordan. There is no other person on the planet who gets universal love from every spectrum but him. Media, socially, society, old players old coaches, my Mama, your Mama EVERYONE loves this dude. He is in a place where no one else is.


It's not because of quality, look, single person or marketing...it's a whole group of things but MEDIA has played the largest part in his legacy.
