Nathan Smith CLASSIFIED INTELLIGENCE

After all of the success of the Jordan I, Nike did a complete 180 with the design of the Air Jordan II. Once again Peter Moore was behind the design board and he broke every rule. The shoe was the first Nike shoe to not feature Swoosh branding anywhere on the sneaker. It was a risky move, but it ushered in an era where design, not a logo, was most important. The Jordan II was the only pair of Jordans to be made in Italy, and thanks to the faux-lizard skin on the upper and design inspiration from a women's boot (an inspiration that would pop up again with the Air Jordan XII) they brought a new level of luxury to sports product as well as pop culture warranting the $100 price tag. If these were a true retro today you could expect them to go for well over three bills.

The Jordan II originally only dropped in two colorways as well as a low-top version during it's first run, again completely opposite of the Jordan I that released in a countless number of color combinations. The shoe was a staple on shows like A Different World, proving it was just as coveted for off-the-court fashion as on-the-court performance. Shortly after Carmelo Anthony penned to Jordan Brand in 2003, JB cooked-up a special player and a new introduction to attire..Nathan Smith!

The Nathan Smith

report: CLASSIFIED INTELLIGENCE

To think, the first Air Jordan almost never even existed after Michael was so adamant that his agent get him a deal with adidas. Nike made it happen and the vision was to treat its new star like a tennis player, which at the time was the sport that had the best sneaker endorsements. The Air Jordan I wasn't changing the game with innovation at the time, but the Dunk-like silhouette was the perfect template to feature some of the best colorway combinations and please the eye aesthetically.  

The Jordan I's $65 price tag at the time had people balking at grabbing a pair but NBA commissioner David Stern ended up being the one with the best "marketing plan" for the sneaker. After MJ stepped out on the floor in the infamous black and red Is that Mike himself said looked like the Devil's shoe, the NBA fined Jordan $5,000 every game he laced them up for failing to meet the uniform code. The sneaker ban built so much buzz around the shoe that Nike gladly paid each fine and eventually watched the money pile up. Nike had to make a secondary colorway that fit NBA guidelines. And all this before the shoe even hit the market.

Michael had some of his greatest moments in the Jordan I, including his 63-point playoff performance that had Larry Bird comparing Mike to God and also the '85 Slam Dunk Contest draped in two gold chains. 13 years later Jordan would break out his first kicks one last time in his Chicago farewell tour stop at Madison Square Garden even though he had outgrown the pair by a full size. King. 

This begin a love and dedication to NIKE by me...THE URBAN LEGEND: Nathan Smith.

Nathan Smith "I can do it with my Air Jordans"

Yes, I had to get a pair of Jordans in what ever I do. Air Jordans was my brand as well as part of my everyday attire. This defined me and gave me confidence as I began my own trend and attire. Since I never could have time to change from a businessman, preacher, and speaking engagements. I needed to carry with me a pair of shoes and be able to dress professional at the same time without losing the edge. The "edge" is what gives you the distinction between the rest that people cannot figure out. I used the edge when I preached in 1994 at the Mendel Center among about 1000 COGIC folks. Black shirt, black suit coat, pair of black dockers, and the red and black Air Jordans. Then I later had another meeting where I did a workshop with potential clients for my drawing skills. Later on 3rd Shift had to go to training and a meeting about the machine I was operating at Bosch. The shoe made it possible to wear multiple outfits and durability. So everyone always makes this statement, "Nice pair of shoes! I wish I could do that!"

This became iconic for Nathan Smith. It has become part of my way of life. You can also find me at

Nathan Smith "Tablets Are Fading Astronomically"

It has been proven time and time again people are funny or fickle. They will love you one day and hate you the next. It is a proven fact in the technological world. Flashback..Do you remember when netbooks was hot and the newest "have to have" computer device? Best Buy and all the computer stores was advertising a new netbook every couple of days. Now they have disappeared and resurrected as Chrome books. The hype around tablets is over as the sales and demand begin to saturate. Tablets were the hot item but not anymore. Individuals and business are falling in love with personal computers (pcs) again. They've since disappeared (and arguably returned in the form of WE NEED PERFORMANCE), and now pcs are the hot item. Its all about what you do with the equipment. If all you do is facebook and YouTube

 and similar applications then you would get a tablet...BUT if you are doing various projects and need Adobe Cloud..the the pc is more of a concern to have. I Nathan Smith approved this intel to the public and those who need to know the truth. Tablets are fading astronomically due to lack of the ability to perform everyday business task as well as downloading information.

Its very simple. do whats best for your situation. Realize this. The tablets are slowing down and the PC will be here forever. More intelligence information at: http://www.theultimateempire.org/nathan_smith.html

I just realized the POWER of imagination

"Nathan Smith is considered an urban legend amongst peers." This is what I heard the folks across the bridge saying about me as I brought up myself as a former hacker. Come to find out it is all about the POWER of imagination. We are created in the imagine of God. Therefore, we can destroy or create anything in our lives. So when I told them after that statement that I was Nathan Smith, it was an incredible experience. It is only a hand full of us left on the other side without doing criminal activity. All of us are now underground, staying out the spot light BUT resurface helping those trying to bring the ideas into the real world. That is what I specialize in. You tell me the concept...Then I can provide the image you are looking for with YOUR imagination. This method is called Graphic Translation. The human mind greatest gift is the power to imagine. You are what you give or find in your mind. So the best thing to do is keep an idea on what you want on paper and let your imagination do the work. I love the Nathan Smith Ironman HUD. Its proves that my imagination is unlimited. The POWER to create light speed is a gift form God. Now As Nathan Smith I will begin to explore this portion of my mind to bring my thoughts of imagination into the real world... 

I will continue this conversation. The power to create comes from millions of visual pictures in your mind. So you have to collect the pics and put them in your visual eye. Look at the images and decide how to translate them. It is easier to approach a Graphic Artist like myself to bring all your thoughts into Concrete Existence. This means it comes into the real world once you put it on paper. I love the Ironman HUD so i put all my pics in my head together to come up with the graphic you see above. I translated them by a sketch on paper first before you get into the computer software. Without my imagination I am worthless and no longer can draw, ink, or illustrate. This is what separates me form the rest. T still use my imagination to power me and give me inspiration.
