it may have been mentioned, but what about improving the technology within the shoe? retros are bricks to walk in. would love a lunar or full zoom sole

JB will release less Retros overall. Hopefully make popular Colorways like Concord 11s and Black/Cement 3s super GR but others like Mocha 3s, Last Shot and White/Red 14s more limited since 14s and retro plus colorway don't sell well compare to popular OG Jordans. I can see them getting away from releasing Retros every week and change to one or two a month. I still see the BC 3 and Concord 11s being a super GR but others will have less number. Right now JB has made a ton of 4s, 5s, 8s, and 10s It will be a good idea to just put those models on the volt for a least three years or more. Release more OG 3 and 6s with NA. 12s and 11s mids are still popular so why not release Taxis, Obsidians, Playoffs, and Flints for the 12s and Bred, Concord, Cool Grey, and Columbia for 11s. Only 4s worth releasing are the Black/Cement, Fire Red, and Cool Grey.
Limiting stuff won’t help them in the long term. They switch up every few years with some change and I’m sure buyers will be sick of it. Mass production did help sitting, but I’m sure $190 hurt them too. Adidas wins because they keep bringing out brand new designs and innovations. Jordan brand has marketed retros in a way that no one will ever support new models that aren’t retros. They should have pandered to hypebeasts and dropped the Toro 5s instead of those blood/crip 5s, playoff 13s and other new 13s in 2017. They made a killing in 2016 off of the new 12s that dropped. What happened to limited Champagne and Cigar drops? Not 1 hyped nike air retro? No Cherry 12? What happened to the Black Friday drop being a popular air jordan? Why was the royal 1 and all star 1s the only non black pair/white pair 1s that dropped in 2017? Why the **** did they make the new love 1s a mid? Where was the SBB 3.0? They could’ve Road the hype wave that 2016 1s began. They got greedy and slacked off. But I’m telling you, limiting stuff won’t save them
Red Point: I’m talking about JordansNike Mag, Vapormax, and Hyperadapt
Only one that was were the 4s
2014: 6s, 2015: 8s, and 2016: 3s
This doesn't make sense
They were originally a mid top, that's why
Lol. I think I'm following you here. But repped for your response.Nike Mag, Vapormax, and Hyperadapt

12 is more than a few lol. I’m confused as to whether my original point is being disputed.I appreciate it, not much Jordan Brand can do with innovation since the brand was built of nostalgia. There are only a few Nike Air retros (2-6) they can do, only two left for the Jordan 3 (after February), three for the Jordan 4, three for the Jordan 5, and four for the Jordan 6 so they have to spread them out accordingly.
Not to nitpick, but his first three points didn’t actually engage the points he highlighted in my post. He didn’t understand the forth point I made.Lol. I think I'm following you here. But repped for your response.

I think I know what your trying to say. Younger peoples maturity can cause a lot of problems. Drama is entertaining to many, but older people are guilty of that as well. Yes, the thrill of the hunt can be more enticing to a 17 year old then it is to a 35 year old. Younger generation wants to be exclusive, while many of us older guys don't make that a priority. Nothing wrong with either mindset at all. Nike/JB has always geared toward kids. That's nothing new. Not to go way off topic with this, but your wording may be a little off. But I understand what your trying to say though. Jordanhead718212 is right. There has been violence over Jordans since the 90s. With the social media we have today that we didn't have then, you now are just able to see it more. But its always been there. 2011 didn't start this.I just thought of this a few days ago. Jordan Brand is listening to the 16-24 demographic. We have to remember that between the ages of 16-22 their brains are still developing and they don't know any better. This demographic says they want stuff limited and love the thrill of trying to secure the shoes and lining up for releases. These are the very same age groups that like the ****ery and violence that goes on during releases from 2011-2014. They want to see people fight, get hurt, or even worse because they think that's exciting or social media worthy. In conclusion, they just want to be entertained by madness.
