Saavoy Rivers Organizational Comm. 4/15/14 As I was growing up as a kid my mother and father put me in a lot of Nike shoes and clothes, as well as Jordan shoes. I didn’t know too much about the products I was wearing, but as I got older I began to understand some things about different clothing/shoe brands. I also began to like certain clothing/shoe brands more than others, so I started to wear them frequently.
