“Space Jam Jordans” Series Released By Nike
December 23rd, 2009 - 7:43 pm ICT by GDBy Ranjan Bhaduri
Dec 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Nike aficionados got excited when the company announced a new sneaker named Air Jordan 11 Retro. Its Air Jordan series has been a hit with the customers since its launch. They are also called “Space Jam” Jordans as Michael Jordan used to wear similar looking shoes in the movie Space Jam. Earlier Nike planned to launch the Retro series on the eve of Christmas but later it changed its decision. It changed the release date to 23rd December 2009.
However, Nike has not specified if the new sneakers have any reference to the Michael Jordan starer or popular characters of Looney Tunes. The Space Jam Retro term could have been invented by press as well. Nike has not used the name in its website or press release as such. The first edition of Space Jam Jordans were released in 2000. It got the name after Michael Jordan was seen in the movie wearing these sneakers. The sneakers were not inspired by the movie as many people mistakenly believe.
It is quite natural that a popular Nike product will not be offered at cheap rates. When the series was first launched, the price tag was $125. However, if anyone plans to buy the latest edition of Space Jam Jordans sneakers, he needs to shell out around $175. However, the steep price tag will not be a deterrent on sales figures. The sneakers are likely to be sold off the shelves hours after they arrive. These sneakers tend to get yellow after using for some time- though the stains can be easily removed.
