Basketball legend Michael Jordan on Friday celebrated 30 years of his "Air Jordan I", the first sports shoes created for him by Nike and which eventually became a global fashion statement.
"We did some good things 30 years ago," said Jordan to his entourage in Paris, although none of the 50-strong press corps who attended the event at the city's Palais de Tokyo was allowed to pose questions to the star.
Now 52, he still earns $100 million a year in endorsements from Nike and a slew of other sponsors including sports drink brand Gatorade and videogame studio 2K Sports, according to Forbes, a figure the magazine said was more than any current or retired athlete and Jordan is current the majority owner of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets franchise.
