Thoughts On The Jordan “Ferrari” XIV’s

Maybe some of you are sitting at home with a new shoebox beside you while you’re reading this. Maybe some of you are sitting in front of your computer shaking your head after striking out on NDC again. Either way out of it, you already know. The Jordan XIV “Ferrari” dropped today (to much acclaim) and it’s a beautiful sneaker.

Stepping On Jordans Prank: Why It’s Stupid.

There’s a good chance you’ve already seen the video: Two idiots head out to play pranks on people by stepping on their shoes, and calling it a “joke”. If you haven’t seen the video, here it is below. I’ll give you a few minutes.

If you’re not familiar with the story, here’s a quick background. KD was in the last year of his contract with Nike, and Under Armour, looking to make a power play and sign a new face of their brand, offered him a 10 year, $250 million dollar deal, vastly eclipsing his expiring 7 year, $60 million dollar expiring deal with Nike. read more
