HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL WORDS FROM GENTRY HIMSELF ABOUT THE TRUE BLUE III ONLY BEING AN INTERNATIONAL RELEASE:
What have you got in store at JB? Is there anything special for us coming up?
Funny you should ask. I walked into one of the retailers yesterday and it was hilarious. I feel like a lot of times I'm in a no-win situation. We'regetting ready to release the Air Jordan III. And many people don't realize this is an international market exclusive.
Why was it an international release only?
I remember being here a year ago and everybody said 'Oh how come we don't have what the US has?' You can never seem to please everyone, but at theend of the day I think the excitement that it brings to the brand and whether they're talking about the hype around it, has a positive influence on what wedo. You're going to see more things happen like that where we start to introduce special projects which are international-only and so forth. As I start totravel throughout the rest of the world and look at these pockets where the game is really relevant, I hope to create some special projects just for thoseregions. So I definitely foresee an opportunity in the future to do some special Australia-only projects.
