Well not everyone needs shoes.
Everyone wasn't blaming the president for high shoes prices. It amazes me that we never blame oil companies for high gas prices.

Jordan brand is a luxury good. People normally don't take issues with profits earned from them because consumers can just decide not to buy it and no big deal. Consumer theory and behavioral economics separates luxury and normal goods.

Royalty contracts are typically based on net sales, not earnings. Net sales are more difficult to manipulate than earnings. Accordingly, it appears the article accurately states Jordan collected about $256.1 million.
