When Michael Jordan debuted a prototype of his signature shoe during his 1984 rookie season\, he was reprimanded by the NBA for not following its uniformity of uniforms rule. It was pure advertising gold\, infusing both Jordan and his sneakers with the aura of rebellion. As a Nike commercial put it\, “On October 15\, Nike created a revolutionary new basketball shoe. On October 18\, the NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately\, the NBA can’t keep you from wearing them.” The first Air Jordan made more than $100 million in the first ten months. Since the release of the first commercially available Air Jordan in 1985\, there has been a new iteration every year\, but the original Air Jordan remains one of the most popular sneakers ever created.

If you no longer can attend and would like to request a refund\, please email info@batashoemuseum.ca \nABOUT THE HOST\n \nBased in Toronto\, Alexscapes is driven by the natural world and aims to recreate its most inspiring elements in the home — Specializing in terrariums and aquascaping\, Alex’s goal is to create a sense of peace and calm for people living in an urban landscape. \nFrom Alex: So much of aquascaping is trying to manipulate the natural world\, but we are always at the will of growth and the constantly changing evolution of nature. Nature itself is wabi sabi and beautifully imperfect. Wabi: to live a pared down life in tune with nature\, while the fluid life of whatever is planted in it\, exemplifies Sabi: or the passage of time. Showcasing terrarium plants within minimalist glass vessels embraces the imperfections of nature as a way to highlight the beauty in objects with history and life\, appreciating the minor details and taking time to slow down. Bringing the beauty of nature into the home adds a life full of soul\, and a beauty that celebrates the impermanence and the incomplete. It means living in a way that appreciates the beauty and the details of the mundane and encourages us to stop and appreciate the small things in life that we have a tendency to overlook.
