Breaking: Gentry Humphrey Headed Back to Jordan Brand

[Aquamanjay_]

Yeah tonytobacco true.. unless you have them already lol. I still need Maroons.

Same

NOt all Nike Air retros were crazy expensive during the Gentry era. The Met 5s were around $250-300 resell. But then again, resell wasn’t one of the top 10 professions then

But those were awful and a lot of people were very clear about that at the time haha. Unless you mean the 06's which were perfect minus the Jumpman (and the 23 for some).

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

Itd be more wise to scoop up all of the past Nike Air releases while theyre "low". A couple of years into this this ****show and those things are going to skyrocket. Whatever price it is right now is peanuts.

Yea true. Need to scoop another pair of TB’s and missed out on BC 3’s.

I’m talking about 2000 resell in 2011

Hi NT....

Super long time member here & former employee Of Brand Jordan & Blast Radius, back over 10 years ago....


Just came here to tell you that most of you are feeling what we are feeling..

"G" was one of the biggest mistakes Brand Jordan ever made. His Vision, His Thought Process & even worst his Decision Making Abilities is what made JB sink for a while & put out poor products.

During the "G" era, we saw cheap quality products be manufactured & the refusal of Nike Air on anything.....His intentions was to save the integrity of the original product & protect collectors who saved OG from back in the days.

But instead all we saw were products that nobody wanted

This was a "knee jerk" reaction due to Adidas sales & some other back door stuff I am not allowed to share ( Fired/Resignations etc)

Hell even I have an opportunity to return back to them, but for now refuse.

Lets hope for the best, but you can expect certain models to be "vaulted" like Disney does their movies for 2019 & lets pray the return of "pleather" does not show its ugly head

The OG baby j

Well I guess if this nightmare future is coming to pass, I’ll just focus on past retros with the Nike I missed. This is bad. I never seen Niketalk so unified on a subject before.

[youngfabdakid]

It was fun while it lasted, glad we got some dope OG’s out of it.

 

[617collector]

Cheap pleather, cracking paint, Ashy Larry, Jumpman sign everywhere.

I'm already anticipate another petition on NT in 2025 to bring back the Nike Air

All these years of building back the brand to hand the keys back to this fool

 

[mjdalegend]

Welp, unremaster program is back.

 

[JACKFROSTY843]

Prices better drop if they take that OG remastered away.....


I know we all feeling doomsday up in here but I still can't see JB going back to trash

 

[q-ball2220]

Gentry finna make Jordan Brand sink even further which is fine for now but something will spark everybody’s interest after we get bumrushed with all the bad products for a while then it will be back to 2012

 

[buddhashark]

I don't remember any met 5 release ever being difficult to get on release day.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

Us right now

 

[calye2da]

Whoever decided to bring back Gentry

 

[ninjahood]

Sign number 2. Starting out subtle. The toe box jumpman was never red

that leather is atrocious. looks at da outer panels... already cutting corners...

here's da older retro in comparison...

 

[ninjahood]

I forgot to mention the Playoff and White/Red 12s Ive been waiting on.

playoffs XII's retroed 3x (2 mids, one low)..what were you waiting on?

 

[ninjahood]

Lets hope for the best, but you can expect certain models to be "vaulted" like Disney does their movies for 2019

with da advents of grey markets? its silly.

you can make da case those UA space Jams from a few years back with higher cut PL and ice blue soles FORCED JB's hand to actually release em correctly.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

It was fun while it lasted, glad we got some dope OG’s out of it.

The most depressing thing about this to me is that we aren’t going to see OG BIR 6s now... I can totally see them retroing Jumpman-branded, Black Varisty Red 6s instead.

At least we got BC3s though.

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Prices better drop if they take that OG remastered away.....


I know we all feeling doomsday up in here but I still can't see JB going back to trash

I am willing to bet that profit margins (per pair produced) on releases will be made bigger by JB through them lowering quality and materials of releases and limiting the production runs. Also, I’m certain we will see another price increase on certain models (I.e. AJ 11).

But those were awful and a lot of people were very clear about that at the time haha

fuzzy suede nightmares

 

[sickickz23]

The thought of Gentry telling Jordan Brand executives to put the Jumpman on the black cement 4s next year instead of Nike Air

 

[KanyIZZY]

playoffs XII's retroed 3x (2 mids, one low)..what were you waiting on?

A good version.. the ones from 04 I missed because I was broke and in college. The next retro was TRASH and lows... really... nah son.
