Yeah, keep trying to kid yourself, JB will pull your *%# right back in.
anyway, I just got into J's so I'll be here for awhile. I need a lot of the older releases, and some of the stuff that's droppin next year.
I have decided that I am done with Jordans. None Nada.

Ha, it's an age thing. I'm in the same boat as you now. You get to a point where you just can't justify certain things anymore. Myissue is with the shoes because the clothes are still some of the best quality stuff out there.

i think older cats who may be disillusioned by the current trend could, instead of quitting JB altogether, maybe buy only 1 pair a year.
i mean, i still got much love for JB products, but if i were you, i'd buy only one pair of jordans like we did back in the old days.
you know, moms would buy you a pair of jordans and you beat the hell out of them for the rest of the school year.

There would be like 2 or 3 colorways max. of a shoe, and they were spread out seasonally.

I don't understand why people have to make threads like this.
Ok you're done buying Jordans, but what does that really have to do with Jordan Brand itself?

Aside from the points you listed about Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand... (Please see my signature)
The shoe game is being played out, and the recession had a hand in this too. People have finally realized that bread is more important than shoes when itcomes to losing your job. No one's dropping $200+ for a pair of sneakers as much as they used to.

I'm almost there myself. MJ was the reason I got into buying sneakers and he's steadily becoming the reason I'm losing interest. If all that hasbeen said in the past week is true then I'm pretty much done. I mean I haven't even bought a pair this year and I'm still seriously debating theSpace Jams and White/Red XII's. The lower quality and higher price tag is just lame. I mean a $50 increase on the Space Jams because of a cooler box.I'm all for packaging but let's be real. He just knows that he can get that and people will line up to spend that on four pairs at one time. They knowthey have their market cornered. And all the ugly team shoes and fusions just insures that people will spend even more for a taste of what used to be. Thisyear I've already sold about a dozen pair of J's and have about 6 or 7 more I want to sell and I'm seriously considering dumping a bunch more. Likesomeone else said in this post, if the quality comes back and the releases get better than I might find interest again, but for now J's are pretty muchover for me. I'll just stick with Nike and Lebrons for shoes to ball in. At least I know those will last longer as they are better made.

I don't blame you for the bad quality that Jordan has been bringing out. I don't even think he appreciates how many sneaker heads are out their stillsupporting the Jordan Brand. I guess its all about the $$$$$$.....

i walked into work today and looked at the jordan wall. i realized that there were five different retroes and a signature shoe on the wall at the same timeand all of them were on sale. not only were they on sale, but we had multiple sizes of each in the back. seems that a lot of people are over it. i even findmyself waiting on js to go on sale before i buy them. the sad part is that i get a pretty good employee discount, and i'm still waiting on the price todrop. i cant say that i'm done, but i'm pretty much only copping steals anymore.

I'm only focusing on older retroes that I wasn't able to obtain.

yeah i quit last year cuz a ridiculous release really upset me, but then i realised that they are only shoes and the amount of emotion i was investing intothem was purely my own fault. i haven't cared for michael jordan since he left the bulls (yeah that long), but my nostalgic love for shoes with hissillhouette remains. They are my only current vice, and as long as i keep my spending in check (I have a tight annual budget), only buy what i love and wear,i'll still cop 4-5 pair/year.
with them on regular rotation, my shoes last much longer than if i let them sit and rot in a closet. sure they won't be DS, but i seldom sell my shoes.

For me I think there is gonna be more heat more complaining and more people getting highly considering retiring. With all the heat coming out next JB isdefinelty making out tough for people to retire. Just who is gonna pass on the Blk/Red, Wht/Blk and Wht/Blk VI's and who's gonna pass on the PowderBlue IX's and the Chicago X's. That's tough.
