He didn't come up with it. Nike had been trying to create a Basketball shoe in the 1980s and needed someone to be the face of a brand and it happened to be him. He was also very good in college and all throughout his NBA rookie season.

Nike offered him money as a rookie so that helped but at first he didn't want to wear the Nike Air Jordan 1 because it was to colorful and he thought it was a clown shoe.

No, he gets professional Nike designers to do it, most notably Tinker Hatfield
