If you happen to be in possession of a pair of mint-condition '86 Nike Air Jordan 1s, you could easily swap them for a down payment on a house. Nike has reaped countless millions from its celebrity-backed shoes, while Basketball has fed off Nike's technical advances and in-your-face styling. |

This Saturday sees the opening of 'Sole Provider - 30 years of Nike Basketball' - an exhibition highlighting the fruitful relationship between the two. Sneaker freaks can salivate over rare shoes from the last 30 years - Nike dug deep in its vaults to give the growing army of sneaker completists plenty to argue over. Shoes aside, there will be Street Ball courts to dunk in and a bug and reptile house, which apparently explains the rather outlandish designs of the later shoes (most sneaker purists will agree that from the mid-90s onwards the designs got uglier, busier, too elaborate.) "Nothing can be accomplished, no success earned without the shoes" - check out the exhibition for yourself to see if it really is the shoes that makes the man. Sole Provider, www.sole-provider.co.uk,
