Sneakerheads looking to teach their children the value of a good shoe need to check out the Air Jordan Baby Booties. Nike is attempting to indoctrinate new followers of the Swoosh by releasing the iconic Air Jordan I and III in baby-bootie form.
The Air Jordan Baby Booties come in either blacktoe for the Air Jordan I or cement for the Air Jordan III. Some may cry foul at Nike's attempts to brand babies at birth, but I actually love this move. Imagine if Nike could dominate the baby apparel market like it dominates the shoe scene. Nike would not have to worry about fending off other athletic apparel companies if young athletes remember that their first few years were spent in Nike baby booties and onesies.
