How Much Does Jordan Make on His Shoe Sales?
Jordan is running away with his sneaker sales. In 2013 Jordan made about 90 million for the sale of shoes and clothing under his brand. In 2013 one pair on Jordan 3 Powder Blues made $35 million in just one day. Adidas superstar Derrick Rose made only $40 million in his shoes the entire year. Lebron made $300 million in his shoe sales in 2013 but that's not even close to Jordan Brand. The Jordan Brand earned around $2.25 billion in the U.S. for retail basketball shoes. The Jordan Brand had a 11% increase in shoes sold this year. Jordan makes the most money between current and retired athletes. Just picture this one moment 1 of ever 2 basketball shoes sold in he U.S. in 2013 was a Jordan shoe. Jordan has not stopped though he just opened a Jordan store next to Madison Square Garden in New York where we made Knicks fans cry from all his amazing performances against them. Jordan doesn't just make money from his shoes he has endorsement deals with Gatorade and Upper Deck. He also owns 80% of the NBA team the Charolette Bobcats now the Hornets. He also owned a Motorsports team which was shut down due to lack of sponsoring. Maybe he can't be great in every market but he is in the music industry. In 2013, 50 songs mention his name in it. Jordan is the example of a superstar athlete that changed the game forever. What's is next for Michael Jordan?
Which Retro Jordan is Your Favorite?
When it comes to Retro Jordans people have different opinions on which one is the best. Some will say the Jordan 1s because if it wasn't for them Jordan would have never gotten as big as it did. Then there is the Jordan III and IIIIs which in my opinion are my favorite Jordans along with the 7s and 10s. The 3 and 4 are the low ankle Jordan which were the first low ankle Jordans since the 1s and 2s were high. The colorways in the 3s and 4s are the best thing about the shoe there so many varieties of colorways and combination. Then there's the 5-10 which are are popular to the sneaker community and are commonly released like the 4s. Then there is the 7 and 10s which are my favorite Jordans. The 7s are unique with the open cut near the ankle but it's the colorways and the 23 on the back which gets me. Then there's the 10s which are in my opinion the best Jordan made many people li,e the colorways and look but it's not the only thing I like. The sole of the shoe has inscriptions in them marking Jordans greatest moments in his basketball career. It's the detail in the 10s which make it my favorite. Then there is the Jordan 11-13 which are everyone's favor choice because they are iconic in the Jordan Brand. The 11s are a great shoe made with a carbon sold which gives the shoe fashliness. The colorways are not crazy so you can match the shoe with most things so you want to wear them everywhere which is why the sneaker community wants new ones released every year. Then there's the Jordan 14-23 which might not be the most popular Jordans to most people are unique still the 14s are not a bad looking shoe and so as the 20s but they are not leasted often since there is not a lot of demand for them. All Jordan Retros are great shoes and each pair makes them unique but each person likes certain types. Which Retro Jordan is your favorite or favorites?
Air Jordan Brand Christmas Releases 2015
This year Holiday releases might have you driving to the bank a few times just to purchase these Retro Jordans. Three different pairs of Jordan VIII are dropping. Plus a Jordan 1 OG in a powder/baby and white colorway. Also the Jordan XIV Laney colorway. And last one of my favorite Jordans of the retros the 7s. These 7s are unique kind of look like they took a paint ball gun to them and when they ran out of paints they said this is it. Yet somehow these still look amazing and I'm sure getting them. The Jordan 14s in the Laney colorway is a very popular colorway in the Jordan sneaker community. These XIVs are lows which gets it a unique and different still. The shoe that started it all the Jordan 1 is the flagship of the Jordan brand. The Jordan 1 has so many colorways but these 1s are OGs. The colorway is like a North Carolina colorway which you can never go wrong with. The Jordan VIIIs which are coming out in three colorways. The famous "Aqua", "Three Time's A Charm", and the "Black and Chrome". The "Aqua" which are releasing might be the nicest 8s to ever drop but the other 2 also have something to say about that. The "Three Time's A Charm" are colored with the same colors as the 7s coming out but the colors are more direct and in one place. It doesn't look like a paint ball gun was shot at them at all. Last the "Black and Chrome" this colorway doesn't have bright colors but somehow they look amazing. Sometimes just black, grey, and white the best colors on a shoe. Which shoes or shoes will you be looking to cop this Christmas season? Even if Jordan XIs don't drop which I hope do and if XIs do drop which colorway would you want?
Most Expensive Jordan Sold at Flight Club
To those who know the sneaker game they know Flight Club. Flight Club is a store in New York and also and online store where you can purchase the rarest shoes and most unique shoe that was on the market. Those who have visited Flight Club before know that the prices are crazy high so if you don't get them on the release date then you have to pay an extra $100 if your lucky. Like I said though Flight Club has the best Jordan and Nike shoe collections so if you can find buy them on Flight Club you probably can't buy them anywhere else. Flight Club has many shoes that have sold for thousands of dollars which is insane but real collectors know the value of the shoe. The most expensive Jordan to sell on Flight Club was the Jordan 5 "Quai 54". Which sold for $5300 which a crazy price tag for something you wear. The reason the shoe sold for so much was because it was an overseas release which meant if you were not in the country they were released in you weren't getting them. Someone was willing to sell that shoe to and it finally came to America and that person who sold the shoe got a good deal in return. To sell your unworn shoes on Flight Club cost you to give them 20% of what you sell them for. So that person made about $4240 after all that. Not a bad return after buy the shoe for only $200 when it released.
