Just so you know after watching the Movie "just for Kicks" I found out that both adidas and converse who at the time were the super giants in basketball wear both denied Michael jordan (adidas was his first choice) he then reluctantly signed with Nike who were strugling to sell at that time. They signed Jordan at a time when they were very close to closing down and luckily for them the Jordan shoes coincided with Jordans success and sales went thru the roof. Thus the Nike brand was saved. If adidas had signed Jordan who knows how the Sneaker industry would look today.
And i also wear by trashed flipflops loads.
I've also got a non-descript pair of nike trainers for sports, and a pair of walking boots for, erm walking
