Jordan and Nike: Revolution of the Sole• In 1984 Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls as the 3rd draft pick
• Nike had struggling revenue and was looking for a fresh endorser to help with sales
• Michael was not interested in Nike and preferred Adidas or Converse
• After much persuasion by his agent and his parents, Michael decided to go see Nike’s offer
• “Those are the devil’s colours” said Michael after viewing the Jordan 1’s
• He would then sign a 5 year $2.5 million deal, plus royalties, with Nike
• The rest is history, as Michael soared into greatness, so did his shoe line
