These products serve different purposes and fill different needs but all can be sold with the same slogans and logos with no chance of product…

Nike, the parent company of Jordan, releases the new editions of the shoes on rare occasions, which thus makes new releases a competitive and limited outing. Nike has implemented a raffle system, which allows prospective customers to enter an online lottery. If entered in the raffle and selected, the customer can then be able to purchase a pair of Air Jordans on its release date. The retail prices of buying a new pair of Air Jordans ranges from anywhere between $150 to $400; however, the resale of the iconic sneakers go for more. Because of this exclusiveness, Air Jordans have become less like basketball shoes and more like fashion statements, a product that consumers seem to believe will inherently improve their status amongst peers. With Michael Jordan’s fame as a six-time NBA champion, it is only fitting that the brand uses his celebrity power to suade prospective buyers, as seen in the company’s advertising campaigns. As a result of this exclusivity and celebrity power, people have begun to see obtaining Jordan sneakers as a necessity, as a matter of life or death. In 2012, Joshua Wood, a young man from Houston, was murdered over a pair of Air Jordan XIs. Wood and a friend purchased many pairs of the highly coveted sneakers, only to be confronted by shooters when exiting the mall. Suffice to say, the case of Joshua Wood is not the only crime committed over a pair of Jordan sneakers - there have been more, and may continue to be if the Jordan brand continues to advertise its exclusiveness and ability to be a status…
Sneaker reselling is buying sneakers at a certain price and selling it for higher. The most popular sneakers people buy in hopes to sell at a higher price to make a profit are Yeezys and Jordans. Yeezys which are designed by Kanye release only a few times a year, in very limited quantities which causes a very high demand for them. Jordans are designed by the legend, Michael Jordan. I used this concept of sneaker reselling to accumulate profits of over fifty thousand dollars at the age of sixteen.…

To begin, the modern sneaker has a history behind it. Long ago, people used to dip their feet into rubber, allow it to dry, then peel it off their foot, and let it dry by the fire. This shoemaking technique dates back 3,000 years. However, the first modern sneaker was manufactured in England in 1830. According to the text in Paragraph 3, “In 1868, sneakers cost six dollars a pair, so only wealthy…
The “sneaker” has changed many times throughout it’s history. Some people wonder what the appeal is for many people. There is a very interesting history of the sneaker, and the gained popularity through their history. Another reason is that some people buy shoes for their collecting purposes, which is good for the sneaker business. People may buy sneakers because they want their favorite athlete’s signature or model shoe, or the athlete is promoting the shoe, so people like that they can be similar to that athlete by buying their shoe. There are many reasons people bu sneakers.…
Sneakers have become an obsession for many and people would people would pay thousands for a pair of gaudy shoes worn by their idols.

Every sneaker head loves shoes and want others to see them wear it. It can differ for all sneaker heads, but most of them enjoy “breaking necks.”…
