Question

　　 Nike is one of the world’s best - known sports shoe and clothing companies with over $1 billion of income each year. It markets running shoes, walking shoes, basketball shoes, jogging(慢跑) suits and many other related products. Yes, despite its success, Nike (like many of its competitors) depends heavily on famous people to increase sales.

　　 And over the past few years, Nike has made use of one of the best known people in sports history: Michael Jordan for Air Jordan basketball shoes and clothing. In the first two years on the market, sales from the shoes and clothing reached$100 million. Michael Jordan’s fee? $2.5 million over five years, a royalty(专利的使用费) on all items sold, and a number of other benefits(益处).

    Nike’s promotion efforts for Air Jordan have been impressive. It decided to hire Michael Jordan after he starred for and co-captained the gold - medal winning 1984. U. S. Olympic basketball team. He has since become an exciting all-pro(人人称赞) player in the National Basketball Association. The name Air Jordan came from the shoe’s air sole and Michael Jordan’s name. Magazine and television commercials, for which Nike has invested $5 million, have shown Jordan leaping, blocking shots, and “slam dunking.” Huge bill- boards(户外广告牌) of him in action also have appeared in major cities. McDonald’s and coke commercials featuring Jordan have added to his public status.
