Sneakers just might be the real game in town.
Rod Taylor Jersey . As thrilling as it is, as
much as its obsessed over, basketball just might be a means to an end that
covers your toes.In a given year, Michael Jordan makes more in sneaker sales
than what he garnered in NBA checks over the totality of his career. His is a
unique case, as MJ is the pinnacle, but hes also the model, the industry
prototype. To be a signature guy is to walk in Jordans shoes, to play at selling
your fashion to the masses at a level that makes your celebrity endure.Jordans
greatest moments might be indelible to those who lived through the 1980s and
90s, but its his shoes that walk a legacy beyond the normal bounds of time. Kids
who never saw him play -- or even watched a YouTube highlight -- will wear
Jordan 1s, a sneaker that came out in 1985. The staying power of the original
Jordan 1 is especially impressive considering how the 1980s were considered
something of an aesthetic wasteland. Todays NBA stars are shooting for that
future. They wont get there, as there was a certain serendipity to Jordans
invention of signature sports branding, but theyll try. The biggest sports stars
are competitive enough to shoot for a legacy thats bigger than sports.LeBron
James agreed to a lifetime contract with Nike, while his Cleveland Cavaliers had
to hope he would continue to re-up on single-year deals. Stephen Currys Under
Armour contract runs through 2024; the Golden State Warriors hope he takes the
path of least resistance and re-signs with them in July. Curry is the face of
UA, regardless of whether he maintains that status on the star-studded Warriors.
James Hardens Adidas contract reportedly totals $200 million over 13 years.
These commitments comprise basketball playing careers. These bonds are stronger
than basketball team loyalties. The primary employer might be the symbol on the
sneaker, not the name across the front of the jersey.Some people dont get it.
Shoes are silly, trivial. Fashion might be something athletes do in their spare
time to impress each other, but why should a fan care what his favorite player
wears?The simplest answer might be that sneakers are cool, and theyre all the
cooler for being inanimate Zeligs to the biggest basketball moments. Its fashion
with a cameo in scenes like MJs Game 6 shot in Utah, LeBrons Game 7 block on
Andre Iguodala, Stephon Marbury in Chinas -- OK, that one is a stretch.
Eventually, these shoes become little time machines, nostalgia you can sink your
feet into. If youre familiar with the Jordan XIIs, its hard not to look at them
and think of anything other than Flu Game.Moreover, some of these sneakers are
as close as you can get to objectively great style. Sure, theres a brainwashing
aspect, the crazy lie that a super athletes imprimatur actually makes a shoe
better. Sure, theres something arbitrary about how many people would yearn after
a shoe with a swoosh symbol and scoff at that same exact model were it burnished
with a dot, squiggle or myriad of other shapes. But its not all bull. Some of
these sneakers are beautiful, and even if well never get everyone to agree on
which ones are, everyone can find their own version of greatness.
