Amassing rebounds in his career, Rodman was a major help to Jordan’s three championships. In addition, he also came out with an unofficial shoe with him called Air Darwin’s.
Recently, he spoke about how he was the one who came with Travis’ iconic reverse swoosh.
Dennis Rodman made an iconic Michael Jordan shoe?
While appearing on a recent episode of Sneaker Shopping, Rodman spoke about his unofficial collab. He said Nike won’t use his name because he wasn’t famous enough. In addition, he claims he debuted the reverse swoosh, which is Travis Scott’s iconic shoe detail with the Jordan’s.
Rodman said: “I think I was the first guy to do it. So it’s like damn he making all that damn money, really Nike… I don’t know why Nike won’t call me. Dennis thank you so much for letting us have the opportunity to use your name to give it to Travis Scott.”

While there is a clear reverse swoosh on the Darwin’s, there is no clear proof of Travis’ idea. However, one thing is clear, the Travis and Jordan collab hit money for Nike. Scott comes up with some clever revamps on iconic Jordan shoes. With limited pairs in number, shoes sell out within minutes.
There is no doubt Travis is going to keep coming up with new iconic Jordan collabs. Michael Jordan has also benefited majorly, making over a billion dollars from the brand. With the brand only going upwards, ‘His Airness’ has made a legacy that will never die in the sneaker culture.
