Exactly. Gentry is not a designer.
...and you are crazy if you don't want Gentry working for your company. Have you SEEN the number JB is pulling since he was creative director?

Whether YOU like it or not...the brand recently passed the $1 BILLION sales mark, and the majority of that growth was with Gentry at the helm...over the last 5 years...
$1 BILLION in sales!
You're a lame..."sabotage an established brand"...really? Dude was put in the position he was in previously to sell shoes, and he did that BETTER than anyone else in his industry for the entire time he was in that position...
Not sure if you have ever worked...in say, something like...I don't know...business...but, at the end of the year, when you are up for performance review there isn't a column for "Positive Niketalk Threads"...it is about SALES and DOLLARS...Nike is in business to make money...and with Gentry providing direction, Jordan Brand was taking in money hand over fist...
Your argument is weak at best and your facts are wrong...

The Air Jordan I also known to have broken Mike's foot and crippled him for most of the 1985-86 season. And to this day, if he had a more responsive shoe on the court, he could have won at least one game against Larry Bird's Celtics and moved farther into the Playoffs.
FYI, Peter Moore designed the Nike Dunk as well, which is why the Jordan I strongly resembles it.

Way to stick to your guns, dude... even when you are wrong.Originally Posted by sthebest1984
1.) Moore had the logo created BEFORE he showed it to Jordan. I know for a fact the Wings logo originally read "Nike" inside the banner. There are Air Jordan I samples that prove this true. Im almost sure the Nike version of the Wings logo showed up on at least one other sample shoe other than the Jordan I.Originally Posted by Steez

1) The Wings logo was NOT recycled. Peter Moore created it, at that. He designed the mark specifically for AIR JORDAN.
2) Saying the Air Jordan I specifically broke someone's foot is ridiculous. The shoe wouldn't still be on the market and MJ wouldn't have brought the shoes out of his own personal closet over a decade later to wear them at Madison Square Garden in an NBA game if that were the case.
3) Peter Moore did NOT design the Nike Dunk.
Way too much misinformation in this thread. The original question doesn't even make sense.
2.) My mistake, he actually broke his foot in the Air Jordan IIs. And its believable that a shoe can break your foot if it doesnt provide the proper support around the ankle, forefoot, etc.
3.) Peter Moore DID design the Nike Dunk.
