I was thinking that, but then....how do you explain everything they DO come out with?   Though I do have to say a couple of those were nice.  I don't even like the XIVs in general, yet I did a double take on the ones in the OP.

Wow.....I see the American mentality of self-entitlement is in full swing. I'm not sure where to even begin with this thread, but I'll try to fire down the list absurdities as best as I remember it.  First of all, Raices03, let me start off by saying I don't think anyone is "frowning upon"...

There's just one HUGE variable that no one ever seems to discuss in these quality debate threads.  That's the number of times the shoes are worn, and for what purpose.  The originals were worn almost constantly back in the day.  You didn't buy 3 pairs of the same colorway, leave them in a box in...

No, they won't loose the next generation.  Think about it.  The production quality of EVERYTHING is plummeting BIG time in this country.  Food, clothes, electronics, furniture, everything.  Yet, people keep putting up with it and blindly buying.  Nobody boycotts companies, or pays attention to...

Exactly!  THIS is what made the XIs "iconic", not because everyone thought they were awesome.  If you were around when the shoes first dropped, then you know that many people thought they were hideous, just as with any pair of AJs.  I'd often hear comments like "w t f are those, cop shoes??" ...

If they're atrocious to you, than so be it, but understand that's just you (or anyone else that shares your sentiments).  Personally, I find the AJ I & II to be absolutely hideous.  Even the IIIs, while I understand their significance to the sneaker world, never did nothing for me, not even when...

Are you referring to the Air Trainer SC High in the dark gray (see below), or the Air Trainer Max?  And did that location also have the 30% off?

I think that was a huge part of what created the hype back then.  At that time, the world was suffering from MJ withdrawl.  He left the NBA so abruptly, and while at the peak of his game no less.  When he came back, the hype and obsession of anything MJ promoted was increased 10 fold because...

That's actually the FIRST thing I thought of, and I'd actually bank on it.  If the buyer knows that there are such things as fake AJs, then he most likely should be able to decipher fakes from real.  If he's claim a real pair ARE fakes, then he's trying to run a scam where he keeps the seller's...

You're right, they're overpriced, but you have to look at it from JB's standpoint.  There ARE people who will pay full price on RD, or very shortly after, so they're going to capitalize on that with the overinflated price.  If the prices have to drop later on, so what?  They just made that much...

It's not Nike saying this, it's the consumers.  Nike learned almost a decade ago that nostalgia and hype will sell retros that people have been longing for, so they can cut corners on quality and come out that much further ahead.  For example, in many cases with the retros, midsole colors are...

Yeah.  I'd be that surprised if Pau got called out on one of his *******t flops, too.
