That is what I heard as well at the start of the year.Originally Posted by crazyforspizikes
IN TERMS OF HAVING PROOF I DO NOT - but i did hear last week from a mom and pop store owner, who supposively heard this from his JB rep, that JB is ending retro releases in "the next few years" and then after that IT IS OVER!!! of course again, this is just what i was told...
Its hard to figure out one way or the other as there are good arguments from both sides. Retros coming out more frequently will start to get tiring in that heads will feel they won't have to cop right on release day anymore. And as the years continue to pass, the generations that actually have sentimental value connected to MJ, the shoes, and the shoe game that sprouted from him are only getting older and older. The younger generation is more connected in a similar manner to Kobe and LeBron, and the newer technology in shoes being made these days.
I'm guessing that is why JB tried out the whole AFJ Fusion line, which although OG Jordan heads are
Hopefully retros don't die out until our generation dies out, but I guess we'll find out over the next few years.
