Since opening the store in 2016, Marcus has successfully taken his Trophy Room business to a new height.

Michael Jordan was against his son’s idea to open the Trophy Room

Marcus Jordan's sneaker business has been successful, but it was never simple for him to get started. Marcus told Joon Lee of BR in October 2017 that when he first offered the concept to his father, Jordan did not accept and asked him to finish his education first.

​

"No," MJ told his son. "You've never run a store before. You've never been in business before. Finish school first."

However, Marcus knew his plan would work. He said that growing up, he had seen how his father’s trophy room had a unique attraction to people and everyone wanted to hang out there. Moreover, he also noticed that Orlando, the home of Disney World, didn’t have a sneaker store like other big cities.

​

“The first thing that came to mind was the trophy room in our house growing up and how that was a spot that everyone wanted to hang out in," Marcus said.

"It became a room where we wanted to celebrate all of our holidays…That feeling I got thinking about our trophy room growing up, it was a feeling I wanted to bring to the consumer and the sneaker culture here in Orlando."

Moreover, Marcus Jordan also wanted to blend his own story with his father’s legacy. Today, Trophy Room collaborates with Jordan Brand, Nike and Upper Deck Authenticated to provide legacy shoes to its loyal customers.
