Breaking: Gentry Humphrey Headed Back to Jordan Brand

[KanyIZZY]

So much I was waiting for that he's going to ruin. Blk/red and CG XI's, Infared VI's, CG IV's..

 

[Aquamanjay_]

He wanted OG materials changed, OG colors, and Branding. I passed on the 2011 Bordeaux, Met 5s, Black Cement 3, and True Blue. Was elated when they were all remastered. They’re going backwards now.

He better not take away Nike Air

 

[Magic33]

This is bad to me

IMO they need to bring in some younger and newer blood in

When he went to Nike Sportswear, they started flooding the market with foams and putting out corny and ugly gimmicks. Meanwhile retros used worse materials.

Welp! It was fun while it lasted.

The next Bred 11

 

[Yafayn]

Welp just messed up my night. First read the great news their making a million concords then this garbage. I couldn’t think of anything worse to happen to JB honestly.

Expect paint chipping to make a return after one wear

 

[bestintheworld]

This is really bad news. His vision and direction of the company was trash. He wanted to “protect the collector as a way of thanking them for sticking with the brand in its early stages” by not releasing the kicks in their truest og form. Now I can respect that to a certain extent but the fusions and retro plus pairs and just 2009 overall was awful under his direction and I’m disappointed he’s back. All I can do is hope he doesn’t go back to those previous ideals of his

 

[Yafayn]

We need to let JB know. FTFO

If worst comes to worst at least we got:

WC IV
BM V
Maroon VI
BC III
Blk/Red XII
Chicago XIII
Blk/Red XIII
Blk/Red I
Blk Toe I
Blk/Royal I
Aqua 8

Etc etc
All fairly good OG retros for recent standards. Fingers crossed though that Gentry doesn't still have that same tired *** mindset that he did in the mid to late 2000's. I was looking forward to getting shoes like the black infrared 6's, Blk/Red 11's, etc as close to OG form as Jordan brand is willing to make them since I wasn't around for the actual originals back in the day.

The remastered line will be the new 1999-2003 retros in the near future.

Anyone who looks down on the youth is bad for business. The youth want the OG look just like the old heads do. Millennials and generation Z will have most of the current buying power if not already. The customers let their voices be heard when they passed on the True Blue 3 with bad quality. With more brands going at Jordan’s base, pissing anyone off would just cause their sales to decline even more. Taking the Nike Air logo off wont work the same way it did in 2003 when the amount of folks buying was less than half what it is now.

lol and its almost all the same ones also...atleast the nike air ones

 

[SuperQ]

Get ready for BC4s with leather...

 

[buddhashark]

I’m all for garbage retros. I have everything I need now. I could live without the temptation to re-buy pairs I already have.

 

[Aquamanjay_]

@MJO23DAN thoughts?

 

[Bert.]

meh


if he wants. make em release the cool grey 4's

other than that he can do what he wants since I won't be buying stuff for much longer

I think you bring up the best point that they can't get away with shorting us like back then.

 

[lamekilla]

This is all y’all ****** fault who wanted to complain about TB3’s

 

[bman71]

What happened to Larry Miller??

 

[Mr Dink]

He had some good ideas.....
Undefeated 4, DMP pack, holiday 11, Galaxies, etc.

 

[ZOMBAVELI THE DON]
