I worked for several categories within NIKE Basketball and Brand Jordan, and I just wanted to give an informed, rational take on the situation.
- I still have a few friends on campus, and to my knowledge, there hasn't been a definitive confirmation or denial on the authenticity of the sample picsfloating around.
- There are NT members who are in a position to clear things up if they so choose, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't because this is creatingtons of free publicity.
- If Brand Jordan did actually succeed in releasing fake pics early to misdirect counterfeiters - good for them!
- It is entirely possible that a decoy shoe was circulated - you wouldn't believe how many undeveloped samples they have at their disposal.
- If there are counterfeit samples, that doesn't prove or disprove the authenticity of the pictues.
- How is anyone making judgement calls based on visual design cues like stitching, midsole shape, and colorways if they don't have the actual samples as areference?
- This is the last numbered Air Jordan, so enjoy the mystery and hype while it lasts.
