In 1984, Michael Jordan made history by signing a shoe deal with Nike that changed the sneaker industry forever. The 'Air Jordan' brand became synonymous with the basketball legend, solidifying his relationship with the Oregon-based company. Rapper Shad Moss recently shared a funny anecdote on the 'UnderGround Lounge' podcast about Jordan throwing away his Reebok 'Allen Iverson' shoes during a visit to the legend's Chicago home. Marcus Jordan warned Shad Moss about wearing the rival brand, leading to a hilarious incident where MJ disposed of the shoes the very next morning. MJ's strict adherence to his own brand loyalty has become well-known, as confirmed by his son Marcus. MJ's influence has made Air Jordans a staple in both sports and fashion culture.
