Michael Jordan shoe line by Nike, takes on the world

Michael Jordan reflects back to the early days of his career when Nike first introduced the Michael Jordan shoe line, "Hard to believe it's been 20 years since I first set foot on a pro court. Twenty years since I laced up my first pair of black-and-red Air Jordans".

Michael went on to say, "In terms of sponsorships, I had no intention of signing with Nike when they invited me to their headquarters in Oregon. In high school and college, my allegiances were to Adidas and Converse. But ultimately I was won over by Nike's innovative ideas about how we could redefine the landscape of sports marketing. At the meeting, they talked about giving me my own shoe".
