I don't mean to repeat any other topics, but as I looked through some posts today, I was kinda saddened by the things I saw. I am sure a few people wouldagree with me when I say that the state of the shoe game as we know it is at one of its lowest points right now. I feel as though the fight against fakes isin a way being aided by the greed of Jordan Brand. All of these new shoes and Fusion concepts are playing right into a system that real Sneakerheads fight sohard against on a daily basis. All of these new colors and styles of shoes seem as though they come directly off of some bootleg website that knocks off theclassics we cherish for $69.99. JB is becoming the cop who confiscates drugs, then takes them home and uses them. Not to mention the oversaturation of themarket, coming out with 4 and 5 pairs of the same shoe in different colors on the same day, every other weekend. What ever happened to the time when J'scame out once a month, and 99% of the time they were sold out within a few hours because they were a hot shoe, and everybody wanted to have them. Now buying apair of Jordans is liking picking up a hit or miss pair of AF1's. There are no more lines, no more of those good vibes you used to be able to get standingin line with other shoeheads sharing stories of other times they'd been in line trying to get the latest pair. Buying Jordans was more than just gettingsome shoes, you bought into the whole culture of the shoe, it gave us a way to relate to people we never imagined we would ever speak to. I have not postedmuch on NT, but I am certainly not a newb, I've been reading info on this forum for over 5 years now, and in that time so much has changed. Again, Iapologize if this subject has been discussed, but I would appreciate any views, opinions, and feedback.
Thanks
