Nike was founded in 1964 by Phil Knight and as one the largest global multinational sports brands chose Shelflife, a South African footwear brand for its first official collaboration in Africa, Nike which is also owner of The Jordan Brand (Micheal Jordan’s apparel brand) which released its first Air Jordan sneaker in 1985 and 37 years later is a force to reckon with in the fashion industry earning a reported $3 million (UGX.11,550,000,000) every five hours.
Sneaker enthusiasts and collectors who resell via the secondary market can easily fetch up to 500% more than the official Nike retail price.
