last jordans with nike was da II'sOriginally Posted by PRIME
Some of you put too much hope into those Banned 1's thinking that's JB's way of saying "anything is possible"
The damn swoosh isn't coming back.
I hate sounding like "that guy" in these kinds of threads, but some of you really are ignorant to the fact that the Jumpman logo is here to stay and its been here for years now.
Why does everyone act like this Jordan Air logo is something new?
You all act like the Nike Air on the back of the 2001 releases were recent. That was a DECADE ago. Get over it.
JB did one under the radar release with the banned 1's and you guys run with it blindly without taking it for what it was, A SPECIAL RELEASE.
If my memory serves me correctly, the last JB retro with a Nike Air on it was the Banned I.Originally Posted by ninjahood

Honestly, I'd be willing to pay $300 per pair if they were to release exact replica retro's. If they did EXACT replica retros of the 88'/94'/01' III's, 89'/99' IV's, I really wouldn't have a problem dropping $300 for each pair. I don't mind paying a premium for good quality. I understand that nowadays these shoes are being fittedwith certain matirials that were not available back when they first released, but the overall shape should not be comprimised in order to make certain upgrades. At the end of the day, I wouldn't buy any early model Jordan's to actually play ball in; they are no longer the best basketball shoes available (I'd buy a pair of LeBron's or Kobe's over MOST Jordans anyday). So why not bring back the original shape & colors used in the OG's/retro's and use REAL leather; just charge a premium. Everytime I look at my Nike Mag's it tells me one thing, if JB REALLy wanted to bring back the nostalgia in true form, they can, no matter how old the shoe is. Stop making excuses about lost molds or respecting OG owners; it's the OG enthusiasts who want them back.
Peace.

Get over the whole Nike Air thing
That doesn't make or break the shoe
That man has to push his brand.
To all those pissing and moaning about Nike Air, would you put another mans logo on your product when you are trying to make that money?
JB releasaes have to compete with other Nike products. If he slapped Nike Air on every shoe still, do you think JB would hold its recognition as its own brand?
This +$@! ain't about nostalgia, this +$@! is about money. At the end of the day it may be a hobby to us, but its a damn business to them.
Get with it or shut up.

Well the lastest pair with Nike Air on them did sell out instantly and I can almost guarantee no matter what had released at the (Nike) outlets before they have never had people camping for any normal shoe like people did for the Banned 1's. I called across the country myself and even paid reseller prices and wasn't upset about it either and you know that Jb drops about 30 pair of Jordan 1's a yr that end up at outlets. If you want to know why a Jordan 1 that has been basterdized and ruined by Jb had people goin crazy look no further than that Nike Air on the tongue. I can live with Jumpmans in the insole and on Retro + colors and styles but a Tech Grey 4 with a s h itty jumpman isn't doin it for me. I bet for all the people who own Banned 1's if anyone was to take a poll Nike Air would probably be the main reason like it was for myself that people went through hell for them. I paid double for a resale pair and didn't mind. Now put Retro's 1-6 in the store for $200 and make them available to the people who really want them and JB will keep us core buyers. (The kids will move on Jb is a fad for them just like the snapbacks that we couldn't stand or those stupid skinny jeans).
Aside from that the OG box should be produced. Now that's exact.Originally Posted by Ivehademall
