What does Micheal Jordan mean to most black people? At my university, I see most black students wear Jordan's shoes even some students are very poor, I mean their clothes are very shabby and cheap but their shoes must be Jordan's!! Is that kind of "Inspiring-successful-story" for them?

This could be the case (that they are inspired by Jordan) but it also can be possessive pride. Some people spend more money on their cars even when they have cheap shabby clothes, and sometimes people have really nice shirts but shabby shoes. I think that what your seeing is the second of these possibilities, meaning they take pride in the quality of shoes they are wearing.
