nike just gave kim kardashian the same deal structure as michael jordan. standalone brand. NikeSKIMS. only the second time they've done that in the company's history.

whether you think she earned it or not, the numbers make sense for nike. they lost over 50% of their stock value in 3 years. this isn't a collab for hype. it's a business move to stop the bleeding.

in 1999, jordan made a sample that was never supposed to release.

they flipped the infrared colorway on the 6. more red at the toe and midsole. red nike air logo on the heel.

collectors called it "reverse infrared."

but here's the thing.

they didn't just slap it together. they went back to the 1991 blueprints. matched the original toe-box shape. the tongue height.

it's the most surgical retro they've ever done without a collab name attached.
