“Jordan or Something”- $350 Million Alex Rodriguez Snubs NBA GOAT Michael Jordan’s Brand While Living Up Friday Traditions

Having accumulated a fortune of $350 million through his athletic career and business ventures, Alex Rodriguez is now a symbol of success and luxurious living. The 2009 Yankees World Champion embodies the epitome of luxury, whether it be traveling, fashion, or fitness. Moreover, his social media presence showcases an extravagant lifestyle, including a recent post on the third installment of his “Fit Check Friday” series. However, in this post, he may have unintentionally(or not) snubbed NBA GOAT Michael Jordan, and his shoe brand.

But how did something so simple, and purely for entertainment become controversial? Let’s dive deep!

Alex Rodriguez snubs GOAT MJ’s brand

In the video uploaded on A-Rod’s Instagram captioned, “Fit check Friday | Episode 3”, the former Yankee ran his 4.1 million followers through his outfit. After reaching his shoes, the Mariners debutant from 1994 managed to cold-shoulder his shoes, which were Jordan’s.

The 47-year-old said, “Shirt is Ralph Lauren. T-shirt? Vince. The jeans are Levi’s.” However, when he reached his shoes, which held excess sentimental value for him, he didn’t give a very fitting response. And A-Rod said while talking about his shoes, “I’ve had these in my closet forever. These are Nike’s. I think Jordan or something.”

Finally, A-Rod spoke about his glares and described his Starbucks order. He narrated, “Sunglasses? I think Ralph Lauren. [On his Starbucks order] This is green iced tea. Unsweetened.”

However, Michael Jordan has always been an inspiration for A-Rod

Shortly after signing a record contract worth $252 million with the Texas Rangers, hard-working Alex Rodriguez, in an interview with ESPN spoke about his dedication to working hard, and how it was inspired by Michael Jordan.

A-Rod said, “Michael Jordan told me the way he kept the crown was by always outworking everyone else because he knew everyone was always coming after him. You can sneak up on people when you are 18, 19, 20. It’s tougher when you’re established.”
