Jordan Michael Geller, 34, who said he owns at least one pair of Nikes for every year since 1972, said he used e-mails, Facebook, video messages and 112 handwritten letters to convince seven top Nike officials, including Chief Executive Officer Mark Parker, to visit his ShoeZeum March 21, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday.

When the seven guys were out here, the fan in me wanted to ask for their autographs." Geller said his ultimate goal is to have a job with Nike. Tinker Hatfield, vice president of design and special projects for Nike, said Geller might get his wish -- the executives are considering the possibilities for Geller and the ShoeZeum, he said.
