Brand KPI profile

Jordan flying high in the U.S.

Over 90 percent of sneaker owners in the United States recognize Jordan. Released for the first time in 1985, the collaboration between Michael Jordan and Nike has a brand popularity score of 35 percent in the U.S. sneaker audience, and almost 30 percent in that group had noticed Jordan on social media, in media or in advertising in the past 3 months before our representative survey.

Generations

Just Do It with Gen Z, and Millennials

Jordan is well-known among all generations in the U.S., but more successful with younger consumers in other brand KPIs. First, while Jordan is popular among almost 45 percent of Millennials sneaker owners, it manages to score just over 10 percent in the same category among Baby Boomers. Similarly, when 35 percent of Gen Z in our survey own a pair of Jordans, this is only true for 16 percent in Gen X.
