These are some of the reasons why I stopped supporting JB.
Good luck to whoever is looking to cop but all in all this has been wack release handled by JB
Uninspired Colorway and theme. 10 years ago DMP XIs were a great nod to the 72-10 season with the gold accents and actually had information about the accomplishment released with the shoe. These have glitter and suede and don't even come with a stinking retro card. Glitter and suede has nothing to do with the 95-96 season or XIs.
$220 is a slap in the face. Close to $250 after tax for most people who are copping tommorow. Nothing can justify this price. These materials aren't premium. They already have pairs on twitter and IG that got mold and yellowing soles. The shape isn't remastered because they still have that banana curve going on and low patent cut. The leather is nothing special either. They have that same tumbled cut on discounted Air Max models sitting in same store
Jordan Brand dont even have faith in itself anymore. JB and Nike got punked out and deebo d for the initial release date by adidas. People have been planning for 12/19 since the summer time. JB seen most of these fall releases sit in stores. When the sneaker blogs started making a big deal about dissapointment sales of Aqua 8 and Maroon 6 JB yuppies flinched like the COWARDS and NON PROFESSIONALS I been calling them for 2 years. This wasn't a "genius move" this is reactionary management. By not standing their ground on 12/19 they are giving away market share that you economic guys keep on making excuses about and sent a subtle message of weakness to their competitors. No wonder UA is boldly putting bugs in the public ear about Currys being better than Jordans and Adidas generating front page press with their drops. JB executives looking mega soft and out of fresh ideas right now.
Again this is all nothing that represents Jordan, 72-10 season, or the XI model but good luck to whoever put in work to cop.
