I understand that, but not if the GR them... plus that is bringing jordan down to a new level. We just saw pictures of him the in the AJ alpha ones, that lighter blue colorway that they just did all the shoes in and they aren't worth anything and no one hopped on them. yes i understand that they are not a sig shoe but they are one of his bigger basketball pieces over the last year. any one got the pic of the shoe i'm talking about?
 
I thought the 2010s we're fire. They'll keep growing on people I think, if not I still enjoy them

imo it isnt the fact that jordan isnt playing anymore thats affecting the sig shoes, its the fact that the CWs are ugly and the actual style of the shoe is hideous...And not only that when you look at the retros that recently dropped the past 2 years, the material and quality of the shoes have been terrible...A lot of people have turned away from JB because their spending $150+ for terrible quality shoes that start falling apart or yellowing shortly after buying them. Now a days it seems like JB only makes limited or QS (i.e. bin23s spacejams etc) shoes with good quality which is BS, if we are paying top dollar for the shoes we should be getting superior quality each time, but sadly thats not the case

exactly!

I wouldn't mind the 2011 being made available on NikeID.  Since the sig line is already going down the toilet design-wise, this would at least allow us to create colorways we'd find palatable.  Give us a decent design and let us ID it for $170-$190.

Ha, that's funny. As for it being ''too late for those guys" that's pretty funny considering wade and carmelo are two of the top players in the nba.

you are really not as correct as you would make yourself seem, if you tear into NIKE's financial statements and look at the JB brand specifically its easy to see declining sales and downward trends, Nike themselves have been feeling this (evident in their price per share and market value). You will see a ton of new advertisements this year (both from JB & Nike respectively)
JB brand quality has decreased substantially, most affirm this, perhaps you should be up on your financial's before trying to get at somebody on a forum
