Whether things worked out the way they were supposed to or not, you can’t deny Nike made the Air Jordan line iconic. They saw what a star MJ was and had the vision to build everything about that shoe, from the design to the marketing, around his whole essence. Anyone who hasn’t seen the movie “Air” about Nike and MJ really should. It’s so inspiring.

A few scenes really stood out: the picnic table conversation with Michael’s mom, the conceptualizing & making of the prototype shoe, and of course Matt Damon’s prophetic monolog at the pitch meeting with the scenes of Jordan’s career interspersed.

Jordan was thinking of himself first, like any of us would do. This was about money. Back in 1984, Addidas was the cool hip hop urban shoe, and Nike was the boring white people running shoe.

The thing is people don’t understand that a HUGE reason why Jordan’s brand grew was because Nike was the first company to give an individual basketball player his own model they also took a huge push to make his name and likeness a brand in its own which Adidas and others like Converse didn’t really care to do even to the established and big names like Larry Bird and Magic, as well as actually taking his input they also didn’t have their own Tinker Hatfield an absolute design genius, Adidas wasn’t going to give Jordan that much freedom and like Jordan said we’ll never really know but it’s more likely he doesn’t get the massive brand he has today, as a big fan of his shoes I’m happy his mom pushed him to actually even attend the meeting with Nike and take up their offer

that's a lie, the first ever signature shoe was the puma clyde

Michael Jordan, always tempered and elegant. We loved him on the court and love him even more off the court. Big shoes to fill (pun intended).

To put this into perspective, Jordan signed this deal well before he had ever won a championship. The NBA was actually struggling in the 70s and only started to be on the up again with the magic/bird rivalry. Nike was actually making a huge risk/bet that the NBA was going to continue to grow It's easy to go back and say this or that but it's like investing in Amazon when they were a book company, it took a combination of massive unprecedented success and luck.

Well right in the beginning Adidas showed they weren’t willing to invest as much and that would’ve very likely continued for an un productive amount of time, and Nike was super hungry and motivated to develop, develop, develop and allowed him to be involved in that as well. Michael definitely made a ton more money through Nike than he ever would’ve with Adidas just for that reason alone 🙏

I believe he says the game of basketball because it helped him keep things into perspective. He would trash talk other players into thinking they were mortal enemies but years later he would reveal the respect he had for his opponents and teammates.

“If should never be in the dictionary because you never see the flip side of that” and this is why he’s the GOAT.

Back in the early 80's, being primarily a European brand, Adidas focused solely on soccer. The mentality was athletes wore the shoes that the shoes company made. It was unthinkable that they would create a new brand of shoes with individual name and likeness of an athlete. Jordan, as far as I know, was the first athlete whose name and logo were used on the shoes, hence "Air Jordan". It was a revolutionary concept that only Jordan could do.

I just watched that Matt Damon Ben Affleck movie about this. Of course they made it all about his super smart and business savvy mom and gave Mike little agency in the decision, but it was still a great movie from the standpoint of where Nike was before and after and how they were a running show company that put there whole basketball shoe budget behind Jordan instead of hedging their bet by offering smaller amounts to multiple players. I recommend it to anyone interested in this subject.

Whoever that guy was at Adidas that decided not to sign Jordan is THE biggest mistake of his life.

I'm glad the guy ended up with Nike. Now the Jordan brand is legendary.

Miko Mido Nike has made tremendous improvement in development and marketing of their merchandise to give Adidas a run for their money in the mainstream of sports. They are both leaders and giants in sport wear and equipment when compared to other companies - but Adidas still have the edge over Nike particularly in soccer. Personally i will sign with any one of them that comes with a better offer.

magnetmac1 Again, Nike before they signed Jordan was nothing. If Adidas signed MJ there would be no Nike today.

I watched the movie "AIR" because of this interview

ADIDAS is focused on the KING of sports FOOTBALL (soccer), seen by 90% of the world. Basketball is seen only by less than 10% in the world.

Yet, nike is worth most than twice of addidas net worth. Addidas has missed out on billions of dollars had they marketed MJ and all superstars that followed. Also while addias has a stranglehold on MLS Nike owns the MLB and NFL which combines generates over 40 billions a year. Nike isn't hurting from not being invested in MLS.

I bet someone got fired for not making that Adidas/Jordan deal happen

The *goat* being *gracious* as ever!

Just finished watching the movie "Air" .... wow great movie!!! Great story!!

people should not talk about how if jordan went with adidas, adidas would have done good because adidas did not have Tinker Hatfield. the shoes wouldn't look the same and when you not know how famous the would be or if the would be a jordan line under adidas at all.

the jordan retro shoes dont necessarily look the same, but a down side to the retros and nike inc. are that they release the same shoe over and over again and sometimes with different colorways but it doesn't fair much better

i only like adidas for derrick rose but tbh Nike is better

Adidas punching the air like trey rn 😂😂😂

Jordon´s comment concerning the word if is very insightful. I might even start using it myself!

Thank god for him not going to adidas or else the 11s wouldn't exist:)

Jordan and Tinker made history. Never would have happened with Adidas

Easy no tinker

ive always wondered about this but, is it just the light? or is jordan's pupils really like reddish brown or something?

Whoever was in charge at Adidas must have ended like Orlando Bloom in that Elizabeth Town movie

The biggest regret and mistake that adidas has ever done 😂

Your talking rubbish Adidas will be around long before he's legacy in a couple of decades teenagers won't even recognise he's name, Jordan who?
