    Even though Nike owns Converse and Jordan is a Nike brand they still compete with each other for athletes. For example the Jordan brand wants to sign Russell Westbrook/Durant really bad but they're still under contract with Nike.

    Just very difficult to work with in terms of getting his ideas and what he wants. He thinks Wade cares more about the money and doesn't provide any input and isn't very hands on. It's weird because other athletes actually care about their signature shoe.

    On the other hand he said CP3 is super cool and probably his favorite guy to work with. He got to watch the superbowl at his house in LA.

    Wade barely earned anything from Jordan. He will earn a lot more in China. Who cares about loyalty when 8 digit numbers are on the line?

    Jordan I mean Nike? Why not just use the damn backspace button, you're not having a verbal conversation.

    Haven't tried it, but the reviews I've read about them have all been pretty good apparently.
