First Nike Air Jordan Commercial

Nike took the NBA by storm and changed future of athletic footwear when they first released the Air Jordan 1 back in 1984. The shoe didn't revolutionize footwear because it was athleticly groundbreaking, rather it stood out because of its fashion. Its vibrant colors combined with Michels aggressive style created a subculture. Fans, the league and more importantly people who didn't watch basketball raved over this phenomena. At the time the NBA banned the shoe because it didn't comply with the leagues equipment regulations that required its players to only wear majority white colored shoes. Consequently the league fined Jordan $5000 for every time he steped out onto the court with his black and varsity red Nike's on. The marketing department at Nike couldn't have asked for a better gift from the league. They willingly agreed to pay the fines and spun the ban into a brilliant campain that attracked millions of consumers. Today, more than two decades later Nike continues to release new versions of the Jordan 1 as it's popularity persists.

The Sportswear line brings those historic items back to the forefront and re-invents them with the use of new materials, designs and technologies.

Arguably the best original Jordan of all time and surely to be the hardest to get your hands on of the countdown packs comes the Black/Cement Grey Jordan 3.

It was Tinker's idea to place the now famous jumpman logo on the back of the shoe, and to add the "elephant print” on the toe box.

New Macbooks

Today Apple finally introduced their next generation of notebooks. The first Mr. Jobs alteration was the introduction of a different material that the cases were constructed from. If you owned one of the last generations you surely would have had to get the case replaced as the first plastic that was used was easily susceptible to cracking and chipping. In addition to the weak material, the black constantly had to be wiped down if you didn't want them to look like a shopping mall glass door window. Accordingly the Macbook recieved an aluminum shell with a black glass display along with an extra 5 hours of battery life. The new prices are now $1299 for the 2.0GHz/160GB/2GB RAM/Superdrive version and $1599 for the 2.4 GHz/250GB version.
