Air Jordan Retro IV "Teal" (03/14/15 $190)

[jays25]

People still think Nike doesn't own JB?

nike owns the right to jordan but doesnt own jordan thats y jb has to change the colors and the names of the shoe. Also no swoosh on jordan shoes

No. That's not how it works at all.

Nike owns the rights to the Air Jordan Line, but doesn't own the Jordan Brand? Straight up ignorance in here sometimes. Jordan Brand is nothing but a subsidiary company of Nike my man. They've hardly ever changed the name of their shoes (See Bred 11's in '12, and the "Concord" 11 Lows in '14) The Columbia->Legend Blue thing barely ever happens, and it has nothing to do with Nike owning JB.

Also, there's no swoosh on Jordan's? :x

Bolded parts= parts when I legit laughed my butt off.

-Explain how Nike would own the RIGHTS to JB...but not Jordan Brand... You do know your statement made NO sense right? 
-I don't get what you mean by the names of the shoe... Like nicknames? nicknames like "Fear 4s" or "Bred" are made up by the sneaker community... If you're talking about how Columbia Blue is now "Legend Blue" that doesn't have to do with Nike/Jordan whatsoever.
-"No Swoosh on Jordan Shoes" Have you not seen a Jordan 1?   or how the 2 has "NIKE" on the back? Or how on the bottom of your Jordan box, it has the NIKE AIR logo on the bottom and the Nike logo...

ok so i talked to a couple people at the nike store and this is were i learned this i thought the same but they said after nike made the #23 shoe for jb tht jbs contract was up and they made the deal to still make shoes for jordan on tge condition they can still advertise for nike and they split the profits. This all came up because i said y are the changing the names on the jb? They replied jb signed over the rights to everything to become an independent company and only to partner with nike. I didnt undestand this ethier but i figured since they worked their they would no! Like i said i thought nike owned jordan but they said they only partnered. Thats y they make infared instead of red and sport blue instead of blue. Tbh idrk i was going by wat i heard from the manager and a cashier at nike.

Really? Really?? You cannot possibly be that dense?

I do not ever bring age into this but you have to be 15 or younger or just plain trolling

Seems like all they've managed to 'master' is the destruction of this particular model..the IV was one of the best Js but man did they kill it.

-You trolling. The article was written then the Melo 4 was dropping. Which would put it around the time the 23 were coming/came out.

-Subsidiary by definitions means that the parent company (NIKE) owns majority of daughter company (JB)

I'm not a fan of uppers being a non neutral colour (unless red, cuz I really like red)

I don't like these too much. It's a re-do of the Green Glows and I don't like em as much either.

They should have saved this for April Fools.  Doesn't get much worse.

They should offer a free kick in the nuts for anyone who pays for these

JB is done being sneaky, they're going all out troll status now
