Any major player care to elaborate on this?Originally Posted by blackiceblaze
I asked if there was ever a possibility of Nike Air on a Jordan, and he said he respects collectors, but theyre working with the idea in the countdown package.
He said he stopped posting on nt cuz the ppl on here was frustrating him..lol...so he was basically like.."let me get off of here"..but he said his advisors check nt everyday and tell him what we say
Well, advisers, pass this along to your boy. You can't have your cake & eat it too. On one hand yousay that you didn't grow to a $180 million from a $70 million operation by catering to the needs of the few and you answer to the investors, not theinternet. You then say that you "respect the OG collectors" & want to keep certain shoes special. Which one is it? You certainly didn'tincrease the brand $110 off the backs of OG collectors alone, so why are you so loyal to them?
You need to reach a comprimise & the countdown packs are the starting point. Everyone knows Jordan Brand'sreputation in their field. There's no need to remind us anymore. A retro of an original colorway is something that's very important, especially topeople who've been buying and WEARING your shoes for the last decade. Either do it right or don't do it at all. If a retro came with Nike Air, plasticwings, a red pull tab, a clear sole with a bluish tint to it, then that's what we should get the next time around.
Do whatever you please with any & all retro+ releases. You can Flip the print, Do the Right Thing, burn it with alaser, whatever you want, including a Jumpman on the back. But if you're reproducing a product, replicate it like a craftsman. If Mike were going to tellus a story about hitting 6 three-pointers in one half, ethering Ehlo in Cleveland or the takeoff from the free throw line, I would guess that he wouldn'thalf*!$% it. Why not take the same approach to the shoes he wore while he was creating that history in the first place.

You made good points but bottom line Jordan Brand is a business, Along with a business you want to establish yourself. Gentry,Jordan & all the rest of Jordan Brand are about building their business I don't care what they say on the sneaker boxes,press conference or career day about collectors and being true and all that politically correct words that they use, Bottom line they have to keep the brand going for years to come, as for following trends, that goes with out saying Michael Jordan isn't playing anymore when people bought Air Jordans in the 80's and a large part of the 90's Mike was still on the court so people were still associating the sneakers with him. Since Jordan has retired and the Fact that Jordan Brand really doesn't advertise it's athletes on television as much as they should how can the newer generation follow any Jordan Brand athlete. So I think is would be smart to follow the new generation trends because if they didn't Jordan Brand couldn't last another 20 years (what are they going to do keep retroeing the Jordan 11 & Jordan 4) As for recreating history, the newer Jordan Collectors are not thinking "Oh gotta get those Black/White 12's because Jordan wore them in NBA Championship in 1997 when I was 4 years old" The people that have grown up in that era are like 25 years old or better. Most (not all) should have gone on with their other priorites in their life. Jordan Brand knows that and that's why they are appealing to a new age. (smart business move) Appeal to the majority.
