They don't care how you feel about a Jumpman or Nike Air... For example: look at the white anniversary XI's which were supposed to be Columbia retros with an ice blue sole.. Only a select few got the version with a Jumpman on it and the toddlers got the ice blue tinted sole... it makes no sense to me but it's somehow related to their "business strategy"... they don't care that people waited 17 years to be able to wear a Fire Red and Military Blue IV----they could've made it a real special release in a special box commemorating years of MJ's legacy.. All those packs and they couldn't get it right.... Yet, they still came out with a marginal profit because people were desperate..... They don't care about you or me..... if they did they would really focus on their team line and fusions and occasionally give their true fans a great retro in a special box with quality in every which way the shoe was intended to be released in the way Tinker Hatfield proposed it...... I'm tired of being TEASED every time an original colorway of a retro gets released..... It's time to stop buying into their profit and show them that we can make our own decisions on what we want not them..... Their shoes can go on sale and end up on discount shelves until they understand that WE, Air Jordan FANS, made their company what it is and WE can have what we want if we say no......no more bad quality, not more close misses.....
