Michael Jordan Nike Agreement

Posted by on September 27, 2021

Netflix`s documentary, The Last Dance, is a reminder that Jordan was the first athlete to transcend the sport and become a brand apart – Air Jordan, which is now a subsidiary of Nike. Even those who don`t like basketball (amazing, I know) have heard of MJ. They, too, are buying the ever-expanding fashion range that has exploded over the past three decades and has spread from sports shoes to haute couture. In the early 1990s, my mother returned from a family visit to the United States with a handful of posters and a red single with number 23. I was 6 years old. Over the next two dozen years, I grew up off this single and most of the posters were lost, but one remained – and was tactfully stratated to save it from the tooth of time. .. . “The irony of the Air Jordan deal is probably the best deal I`ve ever made, and it`s probably the worst deal I`ve ever made, because no one had any idea – including Nike – that you could sell shoes worth $100 million for a rookie in their first year.” Among all the sneakers of the Nike brand, the Air Jordan are perhaps the most iconic.

According to Forbes, Jordan`s lifetime deal with Nike is $1.3 billion. Jordan`s global appeal is such that ESPN (owned by Disney), which suffers heavily from the lack of sports due to lockdowns in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, preferred the release of The Last Dance to keep subscribers in the United States, at the rate of two episodes per week. Netflix has the rights to broadcast outside of America. “Nike`s expectation, when we signed the contract, at the end of the fourth year, was that they hoped to sell $3 million from Air Jordans. In the first year, we sold $126 million. The Air Jordan 1 is widely recognized as the shoe that began the sneaker culture. A new edition of the shoe fell every year of Jordan`s playing career. Now, of course, countless other NBA players and athletes from all disciplines are under contract with their own signature shoes with the brand (tennis player Serena Williams` Air Jordans, for example, remember their 23 years. Grand Slam victory and referring to Jordan`s 1st number). . .
