Retail
Jordans have been sold in Nike retailers all around the world. Foot Locker is a big retailer that sells jordans. Jordans sell for at least $200 depending on the size, because they get more expensive the bigger the foot. the price also depends on whether the jordans are a new release or re-release. i visited the Nike factory in and outlet mall in long island for this blog post. The retailer i went to sold over 20 different pairs of jordans with prices ranging from 60-300 dollars. I asked a worker there, about how many pairs of jordans do you guys sell here. He gave me a ball park number of about 1500 pairs a month. He also said that even though jordans are Nike sneakers, they dont come in with regular nike sneakers. they are shipped in a truck with strickly air jordans in the truck. They get 2 full trucks of jordans everytime they get a shipment. I also visited the Foot Locker in that same outlet and so that i could compare the prices. not only was the Nike Factory less expensive for a pair if jordans, but they had alot more variety for people to choice from. I learned that retail price for a pair a jordans when they first came out in the late 80's was $65, and as i stated before retail price now for jordans are $200. Differebt retailers charge different prices for jordans. for instance, Nike Town and flight club sell their jordans for as much as they can. Retail price in flight club for jordans are $300. Overall, Jdans are pretty expensive now and the best retailer to go to for Jordans, from my experiemce, is the Nike Factory.

Customer Decsion Making
When Micheal Jordan used to wear his own sneakers to play in the NBA games, it wasn't only to promote his sneaker, but it was to enhance his playing skills. Therefore, when consumers went to purchase their Jordan's, a descion had to be made as to what part of your game you want to step up while playing basketball. Back then the sneakers used to be designed to be lighter and more comfortable for the player. However, now consumer descion making really doesn't have anything to do with the game of basketball. Jordan's are purchased for style and collection in present day.any Jordan's that come out now are the same as the sneakers that we're released in the 90's. So I think now part of the consumers descion making goes into whether they want the same sneaker they had before or maybe the new fusion Jordan's, which are new Jordan's that are being released that includes Jordan's and Nike sneakers fused together. Consumers also have to decside whether they want to pay a couple hundred dollars for a sneaker that came out over 20 years ago.

Jordan's Marketing Enviornment
Jordan has a very successful marketing enviornment. Jordan's are sold all over the world and are worn by millions of people daily. Since Jordan's started back on 1985 they have never went out of style and are still in fashion, and not so much as function which is why the sneaker was made for. Jordan's are sold in so many different stores; such as Foot Locker, Nike Town, and Flight Club.no don't believe that Jordan's have really been affected by this recession. When a pair of Jordan's are going to be released, thousands of people line up in multiple stores, and even camp out to buy Jordan's. Jordans make up about 10 to 15% of Nike sales.Jordan has made a legacy with his sneakers that will live on for years to come.

Strategic planning for Jordan's
Micheal Jodan has created a franchise with his sneakers and is known all over the world. After a great rookie season Jordan was offered a contract with Nike, and since then has brought in alot of money to the company. In 1985 Jordan became the owner of a new line of sneakers which changed basketball sneakers forever. Before Jordan's were launched there were only white basketball sneakers, so there was alot of planning going into the sneakers. Not only did Jordan design his sneakers to enhance performance and for comfort, but he wore his own sneaker while he played throughout his career. Since he designed his sneakers for his own comfort and as he said it helped him perform better, it gives Jordans a special significants to every sneaker. In present day the planning is different for Jordan's because now there bought for style, not so much for basketball anymore. However Jordan's from back in the day are re-released and are still bought all over te world and people wait on lines for days to get a pair.
