They won’t release. They wont pay royalites. Can’t believe they are keeping up this “inspired by” series.
Nintendo, twice now first was Mario kart.. super soaker.. wonder what kind of cease and desist calls jordan brand is getting. Not like it matters. But these blatant rip offs and packaging copies are kinda eh. No permission to use whatsoever and just one-off PE flexing
I can guarantee Jordan/Nike did not ask permission to use for the Super Soaker-inspired PE. Why don't you think there was any SS branding? I work in licensing at Hasbro (owner of NERF, SS) and 100% my team never was approached by Jordan brand about it.OMG
Hold on Jordan Brand isn’t some rouge brand or mom and pop operation that just steals copyrighted material and sells it recklessly.
Brands under the Nike umbrella always think collabs out and seek the proper permission of their plan is to sell to consumers.
Now you may be right- these may never get a broad release but Nintendo linking with Jordan Brand for a one-off is totally within the realm of possibility.
You completely overreacted
Yes, officially licensed deal agreement. Nintendo will get royalties and gave approval on that, agreed on royalty rates, etc.H&M has a Nintendo 64 t-shirt on their site right now. Nintendo will license out their stuff no problem.
100% my team never was approached by Jordan brand about it.
Totally agree. They could of dropped some sweat *** CNY CW for us. Or atleast for Asia... but nah I haven’t seen anything?!i do not even know what colors are coming out after the all stars for these
this weird has a somewhat weird release, first cw was limited and so were the bhm's and only the blk/wht are readily available everywhere and no upcoming gr cw in the near future
seems like the shoes are getting mostly positive feedback and many seems good to get a pair because retail isn't too bad, seems like nike has little confidence on this one for some reason
They're kind of squandering the hype.i do not even know what colors are coming out after the all stars for these

Another thing is that the PE colorway doesn't completely lead itself to the brand. Without the tag and packaging, we wouldn't call those those GameBoys. The custom packaging done by that recon lab is what really ties it closely to the IP.
agreedThey’re not planning to sell the shoe.
My point was if they were, they’d do it the right way.
