Did you know that Michael Jordan makes $400 million a year and passive income due to the percentage he gets from selling Air Jordans? Understanding how this came to be we must travel back to the 19…
Sonny Vaccaro likes to gamble—which shows he likes to take risks. He works for Nike CEO Phil Knight in the company’s Basketball Division expert. He looks for up and coming b-ball plays and offers them shoe endorsement deals, and currently he has his eye on an 18-year-old Michael Jordan. Sonny thinks Jordan is worth the full price they’re offering , and so does Vaccaro’s advisor Howard White , but Knight, and VP of marketing Robert Strasser , thinks it’s a liability to do so.
With no plans to give up, Vaccaro steps over the chain of command and flies to North Carolina to talk to Jordan’s parents Delores , and James . With two shoe endorsement meetings coming up with Adidas, and Converse, Sonny asks his mother to reconsider talking to Nike, and warns her on what to expect when speaking to these companies.
In his fifth feature film, Affleck’s talents exceed expectations. He’s grown as an actor and director but is best when doing both. Not sure how he does it. The organization and patience needed to balance all of those elements must be stressful, but I couldn’t tell because he never breaks a sweat. In Air, Affleck makes great use of aerial shots showing just how large some of these company campuses are.
Delores Jordan is responsible for the career her son has today. Despite resistance from Nike, she was able to negotiate a deal where Michael gets a global percentage from every Air Jordan shoe sold. Her stance was that she knows her son’s worth, and that “A shoe is just a shoe…until my son steps into it.” The goal was to create footwear that reflected his persona and give fans something that will make them feel closer to the Chicago Bulls player.
