Hypebeasts buy because of buzz... There is a negative buzz on the internet so all these fools are letting a very good shoe slip away. Too bad it wasn't purple, then you guys would love it!
If you can't afford the shoe, just say you can't afford it. Do you think your fellow NT'ers would look down on you? They wouldn't. The fact of the matter is these shoes look a lot better than a new release Jordan has in years (with the exception of the XXIIIs).
People are hating, plain and simple. "I wouldn't drop a bill on these"--yeah you would. You would also buy up ANY 2-pack they put out this year. I can pass on 90% of the trash JB keeps recycling, but if I passed on these I would be hot later. You guys better just pray that these shoes "sit on the racks for months" otherwise you are going to be paying for your mistakes later.
For the record, I bought the S23 and the white pair. Now I can pass on the 35 different Retro I's that you guys will be grabbing up for $105 apiece. Max Orange...lmfao.
\/ Better??

Remembering trying to force yourself not to spend your money on J's? Is'nt that easy to do now days?
Remember when you use to take them home and walk around in them all in the mirror happy as hell you got em and proud of it?
Remember when you would clean them hour by the hour? The lick your finger clean the dirt off yo kicks move. Some of yall still do this dont lie.
Remember females gazing down at yo sneaks giving yo a wink?
Remember when you would a whoop some a22 for someone steping on them?
Remember when you would be more likethan?
Remember when retros had good quality?
Remember when J's had an exceptable price?
Remember when J's were J's?
You don't think the failure of a flagship shoes is big? This is monumental right here in my opinion. JB has never had a flagship shoe flopso hard in their 24 years of existence. Maybe some later colorways didn't sell all that great but the OG colorway of a signature model not sellingwell...I thought I'd never see the day.Originally Posted by andfattoo
I really dont think this "failure" is really gonna change JB. Somethings big is gonna have to happen for JB to changes their ways.

the last signature jordan that were hot were the stealth XX"s..... XX3's were cool but XX"s were hot without the hype and sold out.

Actually is JB that is paying for their mistakes. Gimmick releases, uninspired design, low quality retros, and saturating the market with too much has led up the low sales numbers of the BJ 2K9.
Forget about the carbon fiber, new technology, and so forth...99.9% of Jordan customers don't even take that into consideration when looking at this shoe. To the untrained eye the S23, and any other colorway of the 2K9 stinks. Period. And no person with any kind of sense during a recession is going to lay down that much money when there are so many more appealing options at a justifiable price.
It's not about affordibility, it's about a justifiable price point.
The Air Jordan sneakers of the past could live off of the fact that they were going to be on MJs feet. Even with that ungodly advantage over the competition, Nike put their all into the Air Jordan sneaker with quality, innovation, and design.
Now that Brand Jordan no longer has that luxury, they are going to have to do better if they are going to last.
You sound salty that you've dropped close to $500 on a couple pairs of shoes that nobody around you is feeling. I'm I right?
