Air Jordan has a new designer at its helm. He is truly inspiring, a great lesson in following your dream, never giving up && going after what you want!
28-year-old Jason Mayden has been obsessed with Jordan shoes for 20 years!
Like a lot of other kids who grew up watching Michael Jordan leading the Chicago Bulls to playoff dominance in the 1980s and 1990s, Mayden had a pair of Air Jordans && loved them. But unlike most of those kids, Mayden parlayed his love of Jordan && his willingness to do whatever it took to be a part of it, into a career at the brand, a division of Beaverton, Ore.-based Nike.
Mayden’s pursuit of the Swoosh started early, with phone calls to Nike headquarters during his youth && it paid off with a summer internship at Jordan while he was in design school in Detroit, then a design job after graduation. February 2009, he will oversee the commercial release of the Air Jordan 2009, the newest phase of the storied shoe franchise!
