What is the relationship between Nike's Jumpman and Air Jordan brands? Are these the same brands or different?
The Jumpman is the name of the Brand Jordan logo. It is all Brand Jordan. Air Jordan is a specific style of basketball shoe created annually under the Jordan brand, but there are many Brand Jordan footwear styles other than the Air Jordan. Many of them are not even basketball shoes. Currently Brand Jordan has under contract athletes in sports like baseball (Derek Jeter, Jimmy Rollins) and American football (Josh Freeman, Dwight Freeney) in addition to basketball, and Brand Jordan has also created training shoes (without spikes or cleats) for these field sport athletes.Apparel and equipment (bags, etc.) are also part of the Brand Jordan line. Annual sales of Brand Jordan products are in the ballpark of $1B.These products do not carry the Nike Swoosh logo, only the Jumpman.
Which is the better brand of shoes, Nike or Jordan?
Jordan is an athletic-luxury, marquee, niche brand within the Nike family of brands. As a subsidiary, it has access to the same resources, revenue streams, marketing and sales channels that Nike maintains. The arrangement is very similar to such automobile brands as Lexus to Toyota, Acura to Honda, Cadillac to GM, and Infinity to Nissan."Better" is a matter of personal perspective and preference.
Why are Jordan shoes so popular?
In my perspective, from what I have observed is, Jordon is simply a marketing strategy for Nike just like its competitors . The appealing factor and popularity of Jordon shoes is not just because of labelling the shoes after legendary Jordon. If that is the case it would have only appealed to basketball fans and it's entirety. Here it's much more.If you have observed, most to almost all male musicians have a pair of Jordon shoes while performing on their concert. Hip-hop rappers Eminem, lil Wayne, Malone etc..other popular male artists wear them. Additionally football players ,athletes and famous celebrities do wear them if u have observed in their photoshoots.Courtesy : Celebrities go snicker shopping with Complex - YouTube vid.Why do celebrities of entertainment, music and sports industry wear them?.It's because these shoes are immensely expensive and are produced in limited numbers.As a result, knowingly or unknowingly when celebrities of entertainment, music and sports industry wear them, the fan-base is addicted and stipulated for desire. Hence the popularity. If Jordon shoes wear desired for comfort, product quality, it would have minimal percentage of consumers when compared to the current scenario.
Is the Jordan brand a part of the Nike group?
Jeff (below) has a great answer. Let’s just say Nike and Jordan are forever intertwined. When the Air Jordans came out in 1985. what other shoe endorsed by Jordan comes to mind? None. The brand stuck, and boy did it ever! More than that, the Jordan/Nike two-fer became inseparable when he laced up the new shoes prior to each game. Outcome: NBA fined Jordan $5K every time he stepped on court with his own shoes (NBA had previously signed an agreement with Converse), but Nike gladly paid the fines. How’s that for a partnership?!?!?

What is the best bot right now for buying supreme / Jordan’s?
Thetopsneaker .com is the BEST PLACE to buy Nike shoes.There many options to choose like Nike Air Zoom , Nike Air Max.Of course ,Air Jordan is included.Air Jordan is a brand of basketball shoes, athletic, casual, and style clothing produced by Nike.My favorite shoes is the Nike Air Max 270.I was extremely excited when I first saw these shoes, mostly for its huge heel airbag. I liked that the silhouette had a different look.The colorway I wanted actually was sold out, which was a bummer, but that didn’t stop me from looking. Not all colorways sell out and these are actually a pretty easy shoe to find. There are many color options as well.When I first got the Nike Air Max 270 in hand, I was surprised by how large the airbag was and how much it stuck out the back of the shoe. Once I got the shoe on my foot, I was again shocked. This time about the comfort!The airbag is a lot softer than I was expecting, but the airbag is wrapped around the foam which helps catch your foot when you take a step and allows your foot to roll forward from your heel to the rest of the foot.
