Michael Jordan made more money in 2014 from his sneaker line than his entire NBA career.
In a report on the website of CBS Sports, Jordan said to have earned $100 million from Jordan Brand in 2014 which is six million more than his combined contract earnings throughout his 15-year playing career while playing for the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards.
“Jordan redefined the shoe industry, and that’s created that unprecedented amount of revenue. No one else has their own shoe company. Jordan helped make Nike, the most powerful athletic wear company on the planet,” the article reported.
The retros are the most sought-after pairs off his sneaker line with people camping out for several days in hopes to not miss out on the latest release.
The demand for it is outrageous and so is the amount of money the logo on the tongue, sole or heel found on each pair makes out of it. RAM
