Nike's promotion efforts for Air Jordan have been impressive.It decided to hire Michael Jordan after he starred for the gold medal winning 1984 US Olympic basketball team.He has since become an exciting popular player in the National Basketball Association.The name Air Jordan came from the shoe's air-sole（充气鞋底)and Michael Jordan's name.the original shoe was a high-top black and red model,designed to be both comfortable and fashionable.Magazine and television commercials,for which Nike has invested $5 million,have shown Jordan leaping and blocking shots.Enormous billboards（户外广告牌)of him in action also have appeared in major cities.McDonald's and Coke commercials displaying Jordan have enhanced his public image.
