They are a status symbol and are one of the most famous brands. The legacy of Michael Jordan has made them one of the most popular shoes.. Moreover, MJ has also earned a lot of money from his brand affiliation since 1984. A lot!

Michael Jordan’s top notch security

Jordan never travels overseas without a security team. The security guards that travel with him cost around $1,500 per hour. Michael Jordan’s code name is reportedly Yahweh. It is a Hebrew word which means God.

Jordan also keeps some of his most valuable possessions in a safe. The safe goes into a security shutdown after 10 failed attempts at a combination. If Michael Jordan ever forgets the combination of the safe, the only option would be to have it blown open in order to get into it. MJ and his security operate on a strict schedule. Because of his unstoppable lifestyle, MJ does not like to wait. He has often rushed out of a place because he is punctual and likes everyone around him that way. Jordan once left a friend in Vegas some time back who was late. He also recently left two security guards behind because they were not ‘up to speed’ and did not match his tight schedule.
