Michael Jordan has been in the news a lot this fall and it has nothing to do with the prospects of his Charlotte Bobcats.
First Drake and Future’s hit track “Jumpman” from their collaborative album “What a Time to be Alive” is currently No. 12 on the billboard charts without much promotion or even a music video.
Sadly the “Jumpman” for which the song is named is having a tougher time making sales.
Maxim is reporting that he’s being creative in the way he markets his house.
Since Jordan has put his house on the market three years ago he has slashed the asking price in half from $29 million to $14.9 million. In a buzzer beater attempt to off load the Chicago property the potential buyer who meets MJ’s asking price will receive a free pair of every Jordan sneaker ever released in their size.
The desperation doesn’t stop there. This comes after real estate agent to the stars, Kofi Nartey, started a website filled with theatrical trailers and narrated videos to pick up interest in the house.
The best of which is here, as the house is speaking to you in first person – or in this case “first house”:
The 56,000 square foot “2700 point lane” is being shopped by “the Agency,” the real estate group headed by ‘Real Housewives of Beverley Hills’ star Mauricio Umansky.
The significance of “Jordan’s” or “J’s” has escalated since their first release in 1985 to the point where to the point where Jordan 3’s are still the top selling athletic shoe on the market and two other pairs of Jordan’s are in the top 10.
Since Nike iD is officially live in Canada for the first time as of this week, the free Jordan’s are less of a incentive for Canadians as they normally would be but shrewd negotiations may garner more from his airness.
“If the price is right, we can make almost anything happen,” Nartey told Maxim.
Dreams money can buy.
