You are not listening to what I am saying.
Does Nike want to put out a product that will make it customers happy - OF COURSE.
Does Nike owe their customers, remastered products fixing whatever problem some people have with the shoe - NO THEY DONT.
They do not owe us anything, if they choose to provide those things, then thats the position the brand wants to make to address customer confidence and those other points you made above. But again, they do not owe you or me nothing
All companies, if they make faulty product, do recalls if their product does not perform safely. They owe you in regard to safety, they owe you in regard to value, they owe you in order to maintain consumer confidence. This why it is said that you speak within an echo chamber, because you fans of these shoes do not speak to the authority, in order to make effective change, one where the company would be forced to change their habit of putting out faulty product.

If your not a sneakerhead or furthermore a nike sneakerhead, why are u even here? Just to slander a shoe company? Who are u or this "Matt Powell" to judge anyone else here and how they choose to do with their money what they want? Or tell them what they "need." Newsflash buddy you ain't nobody either. I dont "thirst" for any shoe either. I just buy a shoe that I like. Its as simple as that. Im not a reseller. Im not buying them as an investment. No different than buying a jacket or pants. If u had anything I wanted id just get it somewhere else. So what. Not that I have to or should even be explaing myself to you.
I am here on Nike talk, just like many others who only participate in General, and then the Sports and Training forums, for discussion, and the discussion includes info for sneakers that are soon releasing.
You didn't think that people only came here to talk about what it is that
YOU like, did you?
Matt Powell discusses the pathology of sneaker buyers, sneakerheads, what sells, and then what might sell.
The sneakerhead “press” has little influence outside the sneakerhead community. The sneakerhead media is made up everything from very sophisticated, large publishing organizations to guys doing YouTube videos in their Mom’s basement. All live in fear of offending the brands that they depend on to keep them fed with pictures and information about upcoming releases. In the sneakerhead press, there is very little original content and frequent cut-and-pasting of content from other sources. Because the sneakerhead media is unwilling or unable to speak the truth to power, their influence is very limited, except inside the echo chamber that is sneaker culture

What Powell is discussing here, are people like yourself, people who simply do the sheep thing, that follow others into non relevancy.
If you want a true remastered product, you have to voice it in such a manner that Nike will pay attention. However, from the way that YOU speak, Nike/Jordan are going to keep giving it to you, with no grease, in which apparently, is how you like it, due to your responses against what it is that I am stating.
Imagine if more people actually went against a price increase, especially in the manner that Nike/JB is presenting.
I'd like not only a better upper, I'd like more durable cushioning, and the pieces used should be put together just as efficiently as Adidas, Reebok, Asics, New Balance does with their product, at a less insulting price point.
What is so wrong with that?
