"Yeah, we sell shoes, but it's not about shoes. This is about something far, far greater." Howard "H" White's sneaker journey began with a pair of classic Chuck Taylor Converse and carried all the way to the naming his own signature pair of Air Jordan 2s. The godfather of the Jordan brand takes us through his life in sneakers and shares the joys of working with Michael Jordan since he was a young, burgeoning star.

Nike's trying reaaaallllll hard to sell everyone those Jordan 2's :D

@JH-cx2ms Год назад

I personally love the 2’s. Definitely 1’s are my first choice but the 2’s have their own characteristics.

@HEAVYCHEVY409 Год назад

Bro, they not trying to sell you on nothing, either you fux with the 2s or you dont. Are maybe you a sheep and only wear what others dudes like. smh lol They hard to me especially the lows and og's

@kingart23 Год назад

not trying? 'only today 30% discount on all Jordan 2's' kiddo Jordan is doing this all the time. Relese few collabs with the 'model of the season' and then start flooding the market with less limited shoes 'for people who missed out'. The only trouble is that people even didn't go for the limited shoes and they were sitting on shelves. That's when the buyers in retail stores realized they are in trouble. They cost 200£ (!!) and if you look out the window it's 2023. Shake your head a bit more and come back to senses LOL

@erichudson3608 11 месяцев назад

@kevinmorganjr2423 11 месяцев назад

@@kingart23 you talk so much like you know but news flash, that’s every shoe company. Make a hit collab shoe and then sell the basic model in more colors..

@luckylex12 Год назад

H. White is definitely a visionary and has an important role in sneaker history. But Tinker Hatfield is the true godfather of sneakers and the all-time greatest sneaker designer in history! Without Tinker Hatfield, Jordan brand would have closed shop after 4-5 years and Nike would have never became the biggest shoe company in the world! Facts 💯

@luckylex12 Год назад

The Jordan 2 is one of the ugliest sneakers in history, it was a flop when it came out, it’s still a flop, and it almost was the end of the Jordan brand!
