Jordan's aren't dead, I'm hoping Nike listened to consumers and made pairs easier to obtain. Feels good seeing a shoe and being able to cop with minimal effort, wish Nike had done the same with various retro Nikes.

From 2007-2012, the economy was in a deep recession and the strategy of MNC's was to cut costs every which way they could while remaining profitable. Production spending by Nike/JB was curtailed, hence why retros during this time period suffered from poor materials and mediocre craftsmanship. Nonetheless, consumers still copped in abundance which allowed Nike to maintain profits while saving money. During this time, Nike already knew consumers were thirsting for "Nike Air" branding but they waited it out until the time was right.
As the economy improved from 2013 forward, we have seen a dramatic increase in production, better materials, and Nike's new initiative to "re-master" the originals by returning NA branding.
In addition, over the last couple of years or so we have also seen other brands such as Adidas and Under Armour increase their spending in order to increase production/profits by signing such stars as Steph Curry and Kanye West, to name a few, so that they could secure a larger part of the market share. A slow but sure economic recovery from recession allowed them to do this, offer more jobs to people and in turn, increase spending and production.

The Jordan craze will not erode anytime soon, especially as long as MJ is still alive.

Yeah, but no state tax. For all we know he's getting a screw job from the state every paycheck
TX, FL, and any other with no state tax
Hell, Alaska will pay YOU if you're a resident. Albeit, they've really started cracking down on people who kept their residency just to collect. There a stipulations attached to if you're out of state, too.

got two not perfect pairs. The toes part on one shoe is thicker than the other. Not a big deal but still annoying to have when you pay 220. I have a second pair that has a glue stain no midsole and a scuffed and scratch near one of the flames. I am going to try my best to exchange them since there are alot of pairs. Still pisses me off though
