Can somebody explain in simple terms to a non american why Jordans are as huge as they are within sneaker/streetwear culture.I'm from Ireland and nobody wears Jordans here. I live in the capital city Dublin and walk around everyday but would rarely see any Jordans other than maybe one pair of 1's on a good day. However on subs like this and pretty much every streetwear/sneakerhead site online the Jordans get a lot of wear and credit. This post was inspired by a post made by u/SP429 earlier about the best selling brands/shoes of 2017 and I was amazed to see so many Jordans on the list and how high the Jordan brand ranked.I feel like the trend where I live is quite strongly against high top sneakers with most people opting for a low/mid silhouette so this could be a factor but I've been into sneakers for years and have never really known of Jordans to have any on foot presence over here so I don't know if this trend is to blame. Basketball isn't a popular sport here so that could be a large part of it also.So is it simply because MJ was such a superstar? or that nostalgia sells well? or that basketball is so huge it drives sales? Is it because people honestly like the designs and silhouettes? Is it because they're deemed as collectible? If you own any J's feel free to drop some knowledge on why you bought them or explain the brand to me. via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2o3QkGK
