To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the air jordan 1 1 Air Jordan 1 Banned was sold out in mere seconds. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Air Jordan XXX1 is still available now. My stance on the XXX1 hasn't changed since I first saw them back in July during the official reveal in Vegas (keeps the Wings, ditch the Jumpman), but I would be willing to pick up a pair just for the purposes of being a completionist. Just not for full retail though. ÿþNope, there weren't this many pairs of Legend Blues were produced but if Jordan wanted he could gift them to us as fans.

I mean after all of the money Jordan Brand has bought him, we can certainly tell that a free release won't hurt him, especially considering they probably didn't make 5 million pair. ÿþ

ÿþThis one took a lot of research because Barney's website has no quick cart option. As I was adding each of these items to the cart I realized that this collection, although it i Jordan, is made for people that have MJ's income. The total of this crazily expensive collection is as much as a used car, and I definitely wouldn't mind if Jordan spend a couple dollars from his billion air jordans 11 to gift me a pair of those joggers. ÿþMichael Jordan is finally a billionaire and with a diverse portfolio that doesn't just include selling retros, it shows how versatile of a business(man) he is now. You may start as a basketball player and actually become a business mogul. Although, I am sure he has a full executive team and Nike has an even bigger exec team above them, MJ deserves a lion's share of credit too. air jordan 4

He is onto his 12th silhouette on his main line of sneakers and by 12 Air Jordan had began retroing their kicks. Everything happens at it's own pace, but it is definitely about time to see some of those LeBron's drop again. ÿþJordan's have always had a lot of Mike in them. One example of this is the Air Jordan 6 and the heel loop inspired by the rear wing on his Porsche, or what about the list of achievement in the stripes on the bottom of the AJ X. Lebron may have some of these influence in his shoes, but Jordan and his team of designers have never been afraid to show you. Even post retirement with his Air Jordan 29 Photo Reel release, that features the original photoshoot for air jordans 4 his Jumpman emblem, Jordan Brand still finds a way to combine personal life and business.

Initially limited to only 3,000 pairs during its first run, they came back last year and promptly sold out. ÿþCharles Barkley was on the verge of causing several international incidents while he was in Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics thanks to his cavalier attitude and general awesomeness. Hard to believe that anybody could that mad at Charles for long, especially since he was rocking arguably one of the best basketball kicks in Olympic history, the Nike Air Force 180 "USA." Like the Air Jordan 6 "Olympics," this also got a retro release in 2012 and was a hit with sneakerheads. ÿþ
