Process Paper
My partner and I came up with our topic by writing some topics we would like to do on our own piece of paper. After a f
few minutes, we swapped papers. We both happened to write fashion down. My partner and I both are very interested in
shoes. We decided to make our topic about Nike Air Jordan and how the brand revolutionized people’s wardrobe and
fashion.
My partner and I conducted research through websites and books. We went to the public library at Pembroke
Pines Charter High School. They did not have a book about the Nike Air Jordan brand. We had to buy a book off Amazon. My
partner and I would also try to arrive at school early to conduct research on the library’s computers. We would use
information off of Nike Air Jordan’s website and other websites to gather information about our topic and project.
Rande was on a cruise during part of a winter break. For this reason, we created a website. We would not be able to meet
up. Also, it is easier to create a website. It does not require as much work as a poster board and documentaries. Filming
consumes much more time than creating a website. The poster board has too many requirements. It would make the
project difficult at a certain point in time. The website has many more pros than cons as well. It allows us to work on the
project without having to meet up with each other. My partner and I were able to do the project over the phone. We created
our project by using Weebly. We divided the project into three main sections: Nike Air Jordans, Annotated Bibliography, and Process
Paper. We had to decide on an element, a design, the pages, the number of pages, and the settings for the website. After we inserted
certain pictures onto the sight and organized the information appropriately.
My project relates to the theme “Turning Points in History : People, Ideas, Events” because the creation of Nike Air Jordan
was a turning point in fashion. It changed many people’s style and the way they dressed. It revolutionized “swag”. Today,
many people will correspond their outfit to their shoes, not the other way around. People will buy certain shirts to match
with their shoes. Also Nike Air Jordan brought unique elements to shoes. Many of the Nike Air Jordan shoes have something
exclusive to it. Some examples are the very popular design on the Nike Air Jordan III called the elephant print, the Nike Air
Jordan XV has a woven Kevlar upper, and the Nike Air Jordan XVI features a magnetic “Jordan Shroud”. Today, many people
will camp out the night to be in the store first thing in the morning for a release of a Nike Air Jordan shoe. I feel as if the Nike
Air Jordan brand has helped revolutionize wardrobe for boys, men, and even girls. It has definitely been a turning point in
history.
