Bezieling, performance en stijl krijgen vleugels bij het merk Jordan. Met zijn diepe roots in basketbal begon het merk Jordan als eerbetoon aan één enkele speler: Michael Jordan. Sindsdien is Jordan synoniem geworden voor topprestaties en een eindeloze zoektocht naar grootsheid. Werknemers van de afdelingen Merchandising, Product branding, Sports Marketing en Sales zorgen voor creativiteit, innovatie en een gewaagd design voor schoenen en kleding. Iedereen heeft dezelfde missie in het achterhoofd: atleten op en buiten het veld vleugels geven.
