This "boycott" will end once the stores open & those who "boycotted" will be the main ones rushing to get inside to cop their pair or multiples. Is this "boycott" even nationwide?

Lol the same people that will "boycott" will be the ones camping for the shoes
This isnt the 60's or 70's where boycotting really meant something and had power. You have to understand for every 1 person that boycott's you'll have 5 still wanting the shoes, not to count your pair will most likely get scooped by a reseller! Jordan brand is running on fumes... we have never seen so much heat drop in one year and look at next year!!! They have a great challenge ahead of them... to produce a low quality product that has already been produced times before... make it limited and appealing to the next generation and old generations and make profit every time. Sooner than later there will be a Jordan retro release every week and if Jordan can switch the business model around and make the quantities limited... they would sell out every week!!!
I just want to hear some peoples ideas about the boycott that some people are taking for the fall and winter JB releases. Me personally, I won't be buying them but I won't go as for to say as I am boycotting them. I just don't feel it is worth the money for them anymore when you can get older retros for a few bucks more.
who is organizing this boycott? is it real?
Yes, this is why i pointed out that I am not considering myself not buying the releases as boycotting. To me if someone is to boycott then they shouldn't be wearing their jordan's they already own, cuz that would just be promoting JB. Maybe I didn't use the correct term for this. Maybe I shouldn't have used the term "boycott" but I have just been noticing the trend on youtube of the like jumpmanbostic and JStar talking either about they are "boycotting" are what they thought on it.Y'all wouldn't boycott Nike/JB for their labor practices, but you will because they raise their product is slipping?
A boycott usually has some lofty motive behind it. It's not the same as simply not copping...
No need to be so absolute about it - if you don't think the product is worth the money, don't buy it. If you think the next one is, buy it. ...You know, just exhibit the same consumer behavior you do in pretty much every other aspect of your lives.
But, since I hear talk of boycotting all the time, let me just say this. if any of you are actually serious about a boycott, you have to understand that even if it is successful, you won't see results for a long time. Ostensibly, you are trying to create a social change within a community - that isn't going to happen by the next release. The Air Jordan brand didn't achieve its popularity overnight and people didn't become "Jordanheads" over a few months. ...It's like dieting - it took you a long time to get fat, so you're not going to realistically lose all that weight in two weeks. Even if, for argument's sake, you mobilized a successful boycott of AJ numbered retros - you probably wouldn't actually start seeing marquis releases not sell out until mid 2014. It takes time for these things to develop real traction, just like the trends themselves.
(This is a much more serious answer than this post deserves)
whos boycotting?
Do not speak to fools they scorn the wisdom of your words.Yes, this is why i pointed out that I am not considering myself not buying the releases as boycotting. To me if someone is to boycott then they shouldn't be wearing their jordan's they already own, cuz that would just be promoting JB. Maybe I didn't use the correct term for this.

I know that even if there are a few people it won't matter a difference to JB since with each release there are so many more people looking to buy them either because of the new fad or to resell. But I just would like this culture to understand that they are being exploited. Though right now it seems like that will never happen because everybody wants to out do the next guy by showing that they got more shoes or they got the limited ones.
i wonder what Reebok is up too?
