Damn Nike made 126 on jordan alone in ‘85? I wonder how many sneakers they sold to get that.

Smh this quote is hilariously incorrect.Lots of white kids never stopped wearing them. For Jordans to reach billions in sales through the 90s it was because white people were buying them.
Show me some facts then, economic professor.Smh this quote is hilariously incorrect.
There is no tone with writing but the way it is worded makes it seem like that is the definitive
I’m not doubting the stats but it crazy because NOBODY was messing with 1s when they came out. It was like this to meDamn Nike made 126 on jordan alone in ‘85? I wonder how many sneakers they sold to get that.
Damn. Given you made the claim one would think you would provide the proof.Show me some facts then, economic professor.
Homies in here got really defensive about it too. Just gotta connect the dots at this pointIt’s wild as to how people love to deny who created what trends, and then why. As soon as something becomes popular, they attribute it to everyone but those who actually created it. I guess people are going to try and say that the Blues was created in North Dakota now.
Hope you weren’t offended, I just don’t think it’s a definitive that the reason they were selling billions is because of white people. How can that be definitive when shoes is part of fashion and fashion is definitely trendy. Hence trendsetter/influencers are important more than they are given credit for. Hip-hop has changed the world in multiple waysShow me some facts then, economic professor.

Naw. Most overrated shoe in the line up. They can keep those.Nobody remembers British Knights? They were popular as hell for a while. One particular model had everyone going crazy.
Everyone was into sneakers in my neighborhood growing up. Most kids had part time jobs when they got old enough to work to fund their shoe habit. Just because you're in the hood don't mean you're flat broke.
As for Jordans, just give me my Cool Grey 11s and I can go back into retirement. Those will be the first pair of Jordans I've bought in two years.
1's weren't that popular. They went on major discount and skaters bought them up bc the leather was good to skate them. 2s were trash and almost bankrupt the company. 3s were amazing and when he jumped from the free throw line every kid had to have them. That's when I, a privileged suburban white kid, got into shoes. It wasn't really black culture that popped them off, but more one black man that everyone on the planet began to idolize at the same time. Can't speak on other demographics but white adults weren't wearing them in the 90s. But as we got into the 00's and beyond all those 90s kids that loved MJ as a kid were now adults and still wearing them.
