History of the Spike Lee in his Air Jordan 6 PE
Michael Jordan’s prominence in pop culture is only matched by his shoes' success. The start-up company Nike was just a footnote on the sneaker brand competition before Jordan. Nike gambled on Jordan, a rookie and unproven commodity, who was paid the most significant endorsement sneaker deal at that time. Some executives even questioned that business maneuver. Those executives were quickly proven wrong as Jordan’s popularity catapulted the brand to a dizzying height which still stands today.
The Air Jordan series is widely accepted as the most popular sneaker line of all time. It all started with the Air Jordan 1, a sneaker that defied the rules. NBA banned the sneakers initially, as it does not meet the color requirements. Every time Jordan wears it, a particular amount of fine must be paid. This restriction only made the shoe more desirable to the public, possibly due to its unorthodox design and rebellious reputation.
After the success of the AJ 1, the subsequent notable additions to the series such as the Jordan 3 and 11, perpetually captivated the fans since the initial release. The Jordan brand is an anomaly, as the success of its sneakers remains strong after Jordan’s retirement. NBA superstars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, both signed by Nike and considered as Jordan’s successors, can only wish that their sneaker line would be somewhat close to the popularity of Jordan’s when they retired.
Today, the AJ retros are still the most sought-after sneakers. The brand branched out into lifestyle sneakers that are offered at a lower price - allowing more people to have the means to appreciate its collection of sneakers. As an addition to its lifestyle collection, the basketball sneaker-inspired Spike Lee in his Air Jordan 6 PE which was initially released in 2017 delivers the style and performance suited best for off-court assemblies.
