From buying his very first pair of Air Jordan 11s in college to building the world's first sneaker museum, Jordan Geller shares one of the most incredible stories in sneaker history.

In this episode of The Rudy Be Good Show, Rudy sits down with Guinness World Record holder Jordan Geller to discuss how a passion for sneakers turned into an international business that changed the sneaker collecting world forever.

Jordan reveals how he built a business selling hundreds of pairs of sneakers every day on eBay, why Nike eventually banned him from buying from their stores, and how that setback inspired him to create the legendary ShoeZeum—the world's first sneaker museum.

The conversation dives into rare Air Jordans, DJ AM's famous sneaker collection, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant game-worn shoes, Pawn Stars, Nike history, sneaker investing, and the evolution of today's resale market. Rudy also shares the incredible story behind his rare Eminem Carhartt Air Jordan 4s and how Jordan helped him sell one of the most exclusive sneakers ever made.

They also revisit their University of Arizona days, discuss entrepreneurship, running marathons, collecting with purpose, and why timing can change everything in business and life.
