Michael Jordan's Commercial Success

Everyone knows the world’s greatest basketball player Michael Jordan also has one of the highest sold brands and apparels. Soon Jordan will be 50 years old, and even though he is out of the NBA the economic impact of his commercial success is still felt worldwide. In the early 1980s Jordan came into the NBA, back then athletes did not have their own brands, they were not a business, and endorsements were hard to come by, but Jordan changed all that (unsportsmanlike.ca).

It is said that many people in middle and high school will get talked about for wearing shoes of that sort. For this generation Jordan’s, Nike, and KDs are in and older brands such as Reebok is

Jordan knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to make this brand. It is a great way for him to be remembered in the world other than basketball, and people will forever know his name. Each one of my group members all has at least one pair of Jordan’s, and we love them. These shoes are as many people say expensive but we believe that the shoe itself is worth it.
