I think I'll be done after the Playoff-inspired Jumpman Pros...

I want to believe you, but watch JB screw the Nike Air logo, if that happens.Originally Posted by OnlyRetroXi
JB is multi million dollar company... They will eventually cater to what people want. There is no way they're going to lose you... You may leave momentarily but they haven't lost you...
They have the new collectors on lock with shoes such as the fusions and the spizikes... They have old collectors locked with retro grails such as the carmines... And when the OG collectors start saying... "eff it... I cant take anymore of these horrible quality retros..." and sells start to show the slightest bit of decrease... They will unleash their secret weapon. Yes... the secret weapon... Most collectors dream come true... The infamous "NIKE AIR." (Thats alot of Jordan's to re-release with the Nike air on the back... [back in business!])
I'm sorry to say but they've got you locked and are executing business well. JB has a long time before it will lose hype. As long as anybody wants that most coveted Nike Air on their Jordan they are a puppet of the Jordan Brand.
Is this your last year for buying Jordan's?
Is there a reason why we should continue? If Jordan Brand's list of accomplishments didn't look like what I just posted, maybe I would've purchasedsomething else besides the DMPs in the last three years.

These retroes just don't have that same special feeling, idk why. It feels different or it don't feel right. Whether it's re-retroes or not, it's.....something's lacking. Maybe it's the quality issues. But I'll tell you this, the feeling I used to have for retroes J's back in 99-02, I'm experiencing the same feeling with some of the Nike retroes that will release and the shoes I'll buy.
But yeah, I want to believe that the infamous two words will reappear, but if that happens, even JB could screw that up. I lost all positive and high expectations from JB. I don't expect anything great from them anymore. Maybe the newer generation sees it differently, or doesn't see it how I see it. But I surely don't.

I was just thinking about that a couple days ago.Just by looking at my J's that I've brought in the last 4 years, and it's like thereare so J's that I don't have that I always wanted. But I'm at point of my life that I need to start looking at other things in my life besidesbuying shoes. So I think I have 3 or 4 yrs left in me on buying J's. After 2008 I'm only into O.G & definently retros that I've been trying tofind for years.Originally Posted by yungpyro07
IM GONNA JUST BUY OG AND EARLY RETROS THAT I DONT HAVE
