    "I didn't enter the shoe game to sell anything but the best when it comes to the quality of an athletic shoe and for the past few years I haven't been happy, I refuse to continue any longer. Jordan will be done as a brand starting 2015, will I have another clothing venture?, who can predict the future? I just want to take the free time to enjoy my new wife and twins," Jordan said during the interview.

    The Jordan Brand has just celebrated its 30 anniversary since the launching of the very first sneaker manufactured by Nike for the Bulls superstar. Throughout the years, Jordan has garnered millions of dollars and still earned bigger money than any active NBA players because of the popularity of his sneakers.

    In fact, Jordan reportedly earned a whooping $90 million in 2013, and a part of his wealth is coming from the sales of his Jordan shoes

    Maybe Nike needs to upgrade to good old fashioned 'Merican slave labor.

    Wait 'till he gets his Haines on you!

    Much like DiMaggio, the guy is still an icon. Joe was Mr. Coffee to generations that never saw him play.

    Growing up, I went through gym shoes pretty fast so my mom went for the $2.99 specials from the discount store. They sucked, but they never did what Wroten's did in that video.

    You likely didn't apply the same forces to your shoes than mister wroten does to his.

    Pure speculation, but entirely accurate.
