Bruce Kilgore created the Nike Air Force 1 back in 1982. It was the first sneaker to use the now popular and patented Nike Air Technology. The shoe was simply named after the US president's aircraft the Air Force One. There are 3 styles the low, the mids, and the high-tops and they come in many different colours, textures, and patterns. In spite of the selections the Air Force One shoes are best known for their all white or all black versions.
There are now over 1000 color variations and Nike sales topped $800 million in revenue. The sneakers popularity began with inner-city youth and quickly spread among rap and hip-hop artists. Eventually basketball players came to relish the shoes as well. The shoes have even had their own song written about them. In 2002, rappers Nelly and St. Lunatics produced a CD called 'Air Force Ones'. Nike has also created the City Series featuring Puerto Rico, New York City, Detroit, West Indies and Tokyo. The shoes appeal to not only performers but atheletes like Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhousewho who wear them during games. The Air Force Ones are naturally in the hall of fame for shoes.
Nike Air Jordans
In order to keep their shoes in demand and command a high dollar the Air Jordan brand only releases shoes once a year. With a low supply and a high demand Nike ensures their shoes become collectors items. Air Jordans are still as popular now as they were when its namesake - Michael Jordan - played basketball. His shoes are rare and they are definitely collectors items which has caused the inevitable - people are creating cheap fakes in order to sell knock offs of the famous running shoe.
There are a number of ways to spot a cheap imitation Air Jordan - let's take a look at them;
The Shoe Materials
The most noticeable difference between authentic Air Jordans and the imitation Air Jordan sneakers is the plastic used. If you are buying a pair of Nike sneakers notice that the imitations use cheap plastic which is not as hard and durable as the one used in the original version. The imitation's plastic will come apart after a short period of time and even faster if you use them to play basketball. When you play a fast paced game like basketball you will test the workmanship and durability of the sneakers. Nike sneakers where specifically manufactured for Michael Jordan to use and they had to perform at his level - a level much greater than any one else.
Air Jordan Availability and Price
As mentioned the Nike Air Jordan division only releases the sneakers on a specific date of the year thus keeping a low supply in high demand. Therefor the amount of Air Jordans available will not be great and if you find a site online offering thousands of these shoes then you know you are dealing with replicas. Especially if they are selling them at a very low price. When these sneakers go on sale their prices range between $50 and $70 but can be as high as $300 like the Air Jordan III.

Of course the easiest way to spot a fake is when they use the term replica in the sales copy. If you have bought shoes online then you have probably come across fakes at one time or another. It is common to hear about replicas in the handbag and purse industry and it is now becoming the norm in the footwear industry.
As the saying goes - buyer beware.

Authentic Bape Crepes Shoes
One of the hottest trends in fashion is the emergence of Bape shoes and hoodies. If you haven't heard of Bapes then let us fill you in before your teenagers do. Bapes is short for Bathing Ape - a brand of clothing and footware developed by a Japanese designer known as Nigo. (Nee-go). Full name Tomoaki Nagao has designed a line of fashion that is becoming increasingly hard to get your hands on simply because the supply is limited and the demand is huge.
Wholesale Bapes consist of everything from clothing to haircuts and fast food joints. The success of this young entrepreneur is a direct result of his unique marketing technique. Nigo turned this brand into a hot-seller based on exclusivity. A Bape customer can only purchase one product at a time and the product must fit the buyer - no purchasing for others.
From clothes Nigo went into the shoes arena using a clone version of Nikes most popular brands. They became instant hits with the youngsters. They are brightly colored and non-conformist, which may be why it has caught the attention of the young generation. Rappers like Cassidy & Pharell, Jay-Z and others have been seen wearing Bapes and instantly became sought out by the entire young hip-hop crowd. This heightened demand has decreased the availability of wholesale Bapes and prices have soared with the growth in demand.
One of the hardest to get products is an authentic Bape Crepes shoe. The images below show the style of this shoe;
Nigo and Bathing Ape have taken the basic Puma "Clyde" shoe in a different direction. The Bape Crepe much like the Bape Sta 1 is done with a low top and similar outsole, a rich suede upper and they come pre-packed with fat laces. Just what the youngsters ordered. The only downside is that they are not yet available in two of the largest markets; New York and London. Plans are underway to make them available shortly but you can bet they won't last long.

Air Jordan Force III
When this Fusion Force popularity will wane is anyone's guess but it appears that the Jordan Brand has plenty of colors and methods to keep the Fusion campaign going until next summer. These Reed-Dark Oak-White Air Jordan Force Threes are scheduled to be released sometime this September. The sneakers are made of a hemp and canvas upper featuring a brown elephant print design. The shoes come with brown laces, an air unit and a clear mid-sole. The blue Jumpman logo on the shoes tongue doesn't quite fit into the color scheme though.

China Loves Bape Hoodies
China's Growing Clothing Market
Following 30 years of economic reforms, China has achieved remarkable success in economic development. Now few economists and marketers doubt that China will evolve into a nation of spenders. Along with the rising of income level, the purchasing power of Chinese consumers has been increasing rapidly. Clothing expenditures have also been growing fast. The retail sales of China market in 2007 reached US $ 2970 billion with clothing's contribution of US $ 150 billion, according to official figures by National Statistics Bureau. Kurt Salmon Associates forecast that by 2020 total clothing consumption of China will be about 120 of Japan. It is this market perspective that has attracted many overseas investors. Many international clothing manufacturers and retailers are increasingly viewing China as a huge potential market.
Bape Hoodies and Shoes
However, the apparel market is very competitive and challenging both in manufacturing and in retailing. To conduct effective marketing, it is necessary to understand the consumption patterns of the people, and important to have appropriate market segmentation. Some research has been reported in the literature. For example,Gallup conducted a geographic analysis and suggested that in China the urban market was much more important than the rural one. Urban residents have higher income and hence higher purchasing power, and are more sophisticated than the rural people. Cities trend setters and testing grounds for future marketing strategies. On the other hand, demographic analysis indicated that the most promising consumer segment in China was the young people. It was also found that the younger consumers (aged 15-35) had more experience with western products, compared with the older ones (aged over 35). Regarding the influence of gender, it was reported that young women were least concerned about price.And they love the clothing such as bape hoodies, bape shoes, lrg hoodies, 10 deep hoodies, ed hardy hoodies etc.
In order to touch the most active clothing consumers, a questionnaire was designed for respondents aged 15 to 45. Questionnaire survey was carried out in six cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Harbin and Xi'an. These are among the largest cities in China, and are relatively evenly distributed geographically: Beijing in the North, Shanghai in the East, Xi'an in the Northwest, Chengdu in the Southwest, Guangzhou in the South, and Harbin in the Northeast. They are the most important cities in each of the regions respectively in terms of economic and societal life, and are regarded as fashion centers of die region. These cities are considered to be very influential in patterns of consumption for other cities in China, thus an investigation of clothing consumption may give a good indication not only of the current situation, but also future trend for the entire nation.
From the analysis, we can conclude that the clothing expenditures of Chinese urban consumers are increasing rapidly along with the development of China's economy. And, how much money the Chinese consumers are able to and willing to spend on clothing tends to be influenced by several factors that originate in social, culture and economic forces. The geographic differences in clothing expenditures are found significant. Significant demographic and socioeconomic influential variables include age, gender, marital status, education level, occupation and household income. Furthermore, the interactive effects of geographic location with age, gender and occupation have significant influence on clothing expenditures. It is believed that the era of "one style fit all" has been history and the Chinese consumers are never largely homogeneous. For example some young people like bape hoodies, bape shoes, lrg hoodies, 10 deep hoodies, ed hardy hoodies etc. It is important that apparel manufacturers and retailers investigate the effects of the determining factors on clothing expenditures and make effective segmentation marketing strategies.

Bapes Review
What are Bapes?
Bapes or Bathing Apes is a brand of shoes first established in 1993 but didn't release its first shoes, a sneaker identical to Air Force Ones until 2002. Bapes are similar to the famous Air Jordon sneakers but they come in many more colors and materials.
Here are some examples of Bape Shoes.

It is interesting that rumors abound that it is hard to get an authentic pair of Bapes as there are only a few stores that sell A Bathing Ape and they limit purchases to 1 per customer.
