Charlie is like his sister and obsessed with shoes. The facts Charlie shares with me blows me away. Which is why our family went to see the Michael Jordan movie Air which is a wonderful feel-good movie. The other day I piked up a magazine featuring Nike Shows which is our newest Homeschool Resource: Air Jordans The Sneakers That Changed The Game.
Air Jordan is a line of basketball shoes produced by Nike, Inc. Related apparel and accessories are marketed under Jordan Brand.
The first Air Jordan shoe was produced for basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls in late 1984 and released to the public on April 1, 1985.[2][3] The shoes were designed for Nike by Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield, and Bruce Kilgore.[4][5]
The Jordan Logo, known as the “Jumpman“, originated from a photograph by Jacobus Rentmeester, taken before Jordan played for Team USA in the 1984 Summer Olympics.
