What is it with this Air Jordan craze? People attacking other people in the store for them, robbing them right off people's feet. $180 a pair. I mean, they are SHOES. Not just shoes, they are sneakers. While still a legend, Jordan has been retired for years. Is it still his name? Is the style something special? Is it just something a MAWG will never understand?

It's just like every other consumer craze out there. You heard someone cool has this item, you want to be cool too, so you absolutely have to get one yourself. Doesn't matter if it's a toy, a cell phone or a pair of sneakers.

Seems f-all to do with Michael Jordan, and a lot to do with the retro-cool of the shoe, coupled with the daft consumerism that gets whipped up around this time of year.

Compete to consume.

Never underestimate the utter senselessness of the behavior of herds.
