Instead of 24s,25s,26s,they will be numbered by the year??????

[stayfresh25]

You young bucks forget that before they/we started referring to Jordans by numbers, they had no number... they were just the new Jordans.

In fact, back in the day, before retros were even dreamed of, when a new Jordan would come out we would just call them the "new Jordans" and we would refer to the previous years' Jordans by the year. For example, my friends and I used to refer to the III's as the 88's, and the IV's as the 89's, etc. Those were the numbers we used. I'm not sure if everyone did that, but that's how we used to do it back then. There were no numbers on the box label, it just said "Nike Air Jordan". Maybe some of you fellow older Jordan heads can relate.

Anyway, it's kind of a throw-back to see them using the year in the "name" of the model. It's refreshing... like a new start. I don't mind it at all.

I agree it is refreshing. Giving the jordans a number was another way of saying the year. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the first jordan to have a numberput on it was the XIV. So this notion that numbering a jordan is important is rediculous. Also, from a design standpoint, putting the number of that yearsjordan on the actual shoe, does not help contribute to the design of the shoe in any way. Lets hope they dont put 2009 on the new jordan. I think that would betacky. However, this is jordan brand and I wouldnt be suprised if they put 2009 on the shoe in some way. BTW, anyone have any new info on the 09????

[nktran001]

Any Jordan shoe that is not within the I-XX3's.. I'm not worried about it.

I remembered it as being the first black colorway of the XIII...... could be wrong though.

Judging by the amount of people who consider the line to be over just because they've changed the numbering system...... JB may have their work cut out forthem.

I guess we will just have to wait.

I remember those days.I was born 1976 and my first pair of jordans were the 1988 IIIs and been luvin em every since.And yes it does seem like it would be a little refreshing if JB could get there head out there a** and do the right thing!!!!!

I was born in 1973. My first pair was the black/red AJKO Is. My second pair were the 1988 IIIs.

I actually miss the days when they only released 4 Jordan colorways per year. Made them more special. I still love J's, but now it's love based moreon sentimentality and nostalgia.

 

[dukebsktbll23]

Numbered j's are done.

 

[trilltiger]

i'm good with whatever---- i just enjoy collecting

This was my first time hearing this.I really thought the 23 was the last.I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.I liked the 23s and wish it would have ended there.

Man you're about a year late on this one.

 

[loskickking23]

Yeah I kwow how late I am.I heard rumors of this a while ago,but only rumors.I was reading the new kicks magazine and there was an article in there about thisthat sparked this up again for me.If the kicks magazine is a reliable source then it's not just a rumor anymore.I don't know if there reliable or not,thats why I posted this.To see how reliable kicks magazine is or has anyone else heard this from a reliable source.

 

[iluvjordanxi]

I hate JB but at least they made the XXX3 sexy, I can't complain but as for other shoe colorways...

 

[airthompson]

JB will refer to new J's as 2K9 etc... no XXIV. XXIII ended it strong and it would be dumb if the had the whole CDP finish to go in vain.

 

[everone303]

it's all about the money!!

 

[eclipse4343]

jordan brand is probably going to go with making a hundred new colorways with the aj1s and also trying to do their best with making some copy shoe or fusion

 

[gime2purr]

thats a smart move business wise for jb and for us as collectors...for us,because they respected the number(23)..and for them,to still have a "top of theline jordan"...personally,im done after the 23s.

I do remember back in da late 80s
And Yes peeps didnt use the # too describe Jz
But focused more what game Jordan wore them in
Or even the most memorable moment Mike had in that shoe
I agree 100% with "It's refreshing... like a new start. I don't mind it at all"

 

[me4u2night]

I think the 23's are a disappointing pair to retire the numbered jordans with...
