Barack Obama talks about Air Jordans | JordanDepot.com

Brought to you by JordanDepot.com :: MJ may have forever retired from basketball in 1999, but his memory and legacy are going to live on in history forever. Even today his records, NBA titles, and Air Jordan shoes are on the radar of the current President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Leave it to JordanDepot News to dig up an old school video from ESPN, recapping the evolution of the Air Jordan Sneaker, from the Retro 1s through the 20s. Everyone from Tinker Hatfield and Spike Lee, to Ray Allen, to Barack Obama, shares their stories regarding these legendary shoes. The fashion explosion was a direct result of this shoe phenomenon, and it all started in Chicago with the first release of the Retro I (1) in 1985. Michael Jordan will forever have his nickname "Air Jordan" preserved on leather and lace as it will be worn by many future generations.

One of the few thing I can agree with Mr.President, ...by books instead of shoes! :)
But I love JB's with all my hear!lol Anyone else getting the Retro 6 oreo on march 20?:)

[@flarpjr]

Guess whos getting jordans for christmas, this guy!

[@MisterBinx]

The III's are a shoe I could wear every day for life. But man the midsole cracks after like 2 wears.

[@karan6]

Nike shoes are timeless for reals, they will always be in fashion

[@jjohn1965]

Michael Jordan defines legend. Yah their prices are a lil over board but you have got to admit, if there was a guitar that eric clapton, jimi hendrix, slash, etc had their own unique design on it, for 2000$ i am pretty sure that all the guitar players out there would want to buy them. I dont know if its about pride or what, they want to be like them and follow their ways, deal with it obama and who ever doesnt like the air jordans.

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

[@酎ハイ飲んだらいい感じ]

I am Michael Jordan. Thanks for buying my shoes!

[@AA1891]

hell yea mane he releasing 4 retro shoes on march 20th

[@swaguymusicpage]

@Antman1290 What you said doesn't even make sense. First of all, i worked at Footlocker, and they don't get shoes a year before they come out. They get them 2 or 3 weeks before they come out. And second, you say you got your Jordan's a WEEK before they come out, and all the other kids had to wait a year to get them. If you got them a week before they came out, then why would the other kids have to wait a year to get them if there coming out a week after you get yours? NO NEED TO LIE!

[@Gwitfu90]

I don't care if Michael Jordan endorses them, I'm not wasting $135 for a pair of shoes. Michael's talent was his years of dedication, not his "special" shoes. I'll just get his jersey.

[@hushg2000]

People don'tmention the fact that the Jordan shoes have become an investment sort of like baseball cards, etc... the difference is, Jordan's don't come down on price every year like baseball,football,etc... it actually climbs up almost every year. Good retirement plan if you ask me!

[@swaguymusicpage]

I will keep it real. Jordan does WAY over-price his shoes. I just looked at my Retro 5 Stealths that came out in 2003. On the box it says i payed $133. Now look at how much Jordan's cost! $160 and up!

[@speaker00001]

When your the Best & most popular basketbell player in the world you can put your name on anything an it will sell like hot cakes.

Obama needs to spend more focus...on the economy. MJ already did his job...now he should do his.
