Is it the shoes? It's got to be... Right? Michael Jeffrey Jordan replied to Mars Blackmon that it wasn't. Maybe he was right. Born in Brooklyn, raised in North Carolina, Mr. Jordan dominated the NBA and "His Airness", rightfully crowned (arguably) as the greatest basketball player of all time. All Mars wanted to know if this greatness was due to the shoes. High School athletes, College stars and NBA professionals alike have worn the shoes in hopes to have an edge. Even if the edge is just psychological. By wearing the shoes, one would hope to "be like Mike."
1984 Air Jordan enters the NBA draft after an extremely successful 3 years at the University Of North Carolina. Air Jordan was picked 3rd, yes 3rd, behind Hakeem Olajuwon and Sam Bowie, and Air Jordan began his NBA career with the Chicago Bulls and with Nike. After meeting with Nike founder Phil Knight, Air Jordan was on board.
The Nike Jordan Dub zero is the first-ever Jordan "hybrid" shoes that is mass-produced. First introduced back in 2005, it combines elements from some of the most popular Air Jordans, such as sole from Air Jordan IV, loop on the back of the shoes from Air Jordan VI, patent leather from Jordan XI, tongue from XII, and so on. It is a tribute to one of the greatest sneaker designers ever, Tinker Hatfield. Its success fueled the continued development of new Jordan fusion and hybrid sneakers, such as Jordan 6 Rings, Jordan Spi'zikes, and so on.
