#Nike decries frenzies, arrests over Air Jordan shoes What did they expect. Jobless and frustrated, African Americans have very little to celebrate. Poverty and drugs is highest amongst the youth and so they grasp at heroes like Michael Jordan and a $180 pair of sneakers that will give them a temporary high and street cred. . Next, many of them will sell re-sell on the streets for $1,000 for a "hit' . Sports is and always has been the only ticket out of the projects for many. Brothers and Sisters starve while Jordan and Nike make millions. The insanity continues! Sports and War drives the American psyche all in the name of pursuing the "American Dream". That dream has long since given way to a nightmare, but don't tell that to Madison Avenue.
