Michael Jordan Has Staying Power It Seems Just Ask Nike
Every so often I get emails from a guy who shows be the latest shoes that are coming out and yes there is a new pair of Jordan shoes from Nike coming out. I found this interesting on several different fronts. I would have guessed that by now Air Jordan shoes would not really be big sellers anymore, but that must not be the case since they still come out with new models every now and then.
This just goes to show you the staying power of Michael Jordan. Not to many sports stars I can think of when you say there name instantly know what a great sportsperson he actually was. His peers respect him and try to be like him. The only other guy that comes to mind that when you say his name people say yeah he was the man and that is Jim Brown. Jordan is in a class by himself when it comes to basketball.
Yeah we now have Kobe Bryant and Lebron James, but in reality only certain people can change the game like Jordan and Brown did. For Nike they latched on Jordan and it looks like a great move because they are still selling his shoes even far past his retirement.
