Gentry's years were the worst. I stopped buying a lot of Jordan's during that time.

i got all 3.... da 2011ish retro was good, don't let that red JB on da bottom dissuade you otherwise.
XII's were da only retros that are arguably superior to their OG counterpart, especially in terms of fit.

The thought of Gentry telling Jordan Brand executives to put the Jumpman on the black cement 4s next year instead of Nike Air
LOL. I hope not. OG retro pairs are supposed to have Nike Air from now on, but anything could happen since he’s back.

damn shame...IMO JB finally got da balance perfect...limit retro+ products so they don't drag down da mystique, mass produce OG colors complete with nike air which will always be in demand.

this is terrible news.. JB has honestly gotten so much better over the last couple years as far as quality, quantity, etc... 2010-2011 was a terrible time for the brand IMO, with this guy steering the ship.
guess he got tired of dropping foams every other month..

All I gotta say is Gentry Humphrey better not mess up the upcoming Black Cement 4s. AND I will pray like hell to the sneaker gods that IF the Fire Red 5s and Infrared 6s do come out in the future, they will have Nike Air on them and that they will be durable...

Yes this is a depressing feeling. I think in terms of quality the worst of it began in 2005 and basically extended to the remaster program. There’s still remnants of shoddy quality on some color ways to this day that really started under the Gentry regime, smh

Yep, still can't believe how bad 2009 Space Jams were... One of the biggest AJ 11 releases EVER and they totally messed it up, quality-wise.
Thank god for 2016s although I can definitely see them start cutting corners with the 11s once again.

^ I copped maroons a couple of weeks after release due to being busy working and always having my size sold out on ndc. Still haven’t worn them but will break them in this summer. As far as Gentry he will ruin the black cement iv’s I guarantee it. Guess I’m never gonna get a proper fire red iv’s retro either. It was a great run while it lasted.

And to think we might have been able to get Grape V with Nike Air. I don’t kmow if he has enough common sense to release it now.
