I'm an Air Jordan flagship model shoe guy to the heart but the whole remastered thing has me laughing. This is a blatant test to see the public's response to such an announcement. I read the article on the process and the claim that they are going back to the old methods of making shoes. They stated that they are having to retrain the workers because the technique is a lost art.
JB will continue to bring in a profit because of the prestige of the Jumpman and the feeling that it gives when a fresh pair is placed on your feet. I think the remastered concept is a ploy to play on the emotions of those who believe that they will be getting a superior product when in fact the only thing they are getting is more shoes with tumbled leather vs the flat leather that is currently being used.
At the end of the day I will buy what I like and not get hooked into the whole quality thing. People seem to forget that they have a choice when it comes to how they spend their money. If you believe a shoes quality is poor and you pay for it anyway then that's on you. JB doesn't stand with guns to people's head and demand that they purchase a product.
