Is JB done at 23

[cicco1212]

Is JB going out with the 23's or will they continue the legacy, imo i think they should continue only because i believe the 23's arent looking to goodto me i wanna see him go out with the best shoe he could ever design which i haven't seen to soon.....

 

[ny giants 11]

They will continue. Who knows.

My guess? Next year..the signature model would be called the "Air Jordan 2k9"

 

[cicco1212]

If you think they would call it that, do you think that means they would be having a sig team shoe, instead of michael jordan inspired shoe?

 

[oh you mad]

They will stop at 45...

 

[playmaker09]

As long as they are making money, it will go on. It may not be called Jordan XXIV's but there will most likely be an annual sig shoe.

 

[cicco1212]

Is it known what they will stop at has it been confirmed, and what does everybody believe it will stop at, this should be interesting....

 

[hovkid]

I'll tell you right now....if they keep going after 23, I'm not buying another sig shoe until the 45 comes out.

it it was known what they would stop at, there would be confirmation not speculation

 

[agent0024]

malumouse you're funny

I use to get so annoyed by yourmini-modding but you have become a mascot of sorts and I enjoy your quips with hilarity

 

[ny giants 11]

To me it would make ZERO sense to stop.

Anyone remember in 1999 or 2000 when they stop making beanie babies....then their collector fan base stop paying stupid kobe in colorado prices, then theystarted MAKING THEM AGAIN?

Why ruin a good thing? JB is a $500 million dollar company. My guess is at least 25% of that comes from the signature line alone. (retros, teams and apparelmakes up the rest)

 

[the hater boxden]

slam magazine says no

 

[sole discretion]

yeah there's a tid bit on the latest issue of slam in the "status" section saying it ain't over. and from a financial stand point why walkaway from a cash cow?

 

[indohan]

I believe it'll stop at XX3.
New releases are going to be retros and teams.
That's why SLAM says no.

I would say they were done a while back....last quality shoe was the 13's in my eye.They will however continue making a huge quantity of random garbage shoes as they have recently (Fusions, Spizikes, Dubs and wack colorway Retro's) for years.

 

[d73jha82]

JB is bigger than ever. They have no reason to stop. But it would be nice if they got rid of the number. Just a new "Air Jordan" every year like inthe old days.

 

[3thaman]

They need to quit making 30 junk retros a year and concentrate on their core product.

 

[cycopth]

23 just like his jersey #

 

[konohaknight]

gentry says theres no point after the 23.

I think you need glasses.

The 14 is amongst the very best performance shoes EVER made.
The 17 is one of the finest quality / most durable shoes EVER
The 18 has the sicket traction EVER. Plus hand sewn uppers.
The 19 has some of the softest cushioning known to man. The 19 SE are amazing ball shoes.
The 20 stealth are the best performance Jordan IMO
The 21 are finely crafted shoes. The 21 PE are EXCELLENT basketball shoes.

 

[uknowho85]

their is a youtube video where gentry said they are done after 23 and that retros will be hard to come by after the packets are done.

 

[metalmaned]

They've already said that the "signature line" WILL STOP at the 23. They will continue to sell everything else and they will come out with someother type of shoe that will take it's place but it will not be called the "Air Jordan" it will be called something else.

I seriously doubt they will see a hit in their sales numbers by doing this. JB is in business and they KNOW what they are doing. A LOT of people on here thinkthey don't but they actually do!!!! They make A LOT of money every year and the signature line and retros are just a drop in the bucket of their sales.They make a killing on team shoes and appearal. When I'm out I pay attention to what people wear and I see more people young and old rocking team crap thenanything else. I mean I see 60yr old men wearing team shoes. The majority of the public does not care about anything except that it has a Jumpman on it becausethey see having a pair of shoes with the Jumpman on it as a "status" thing, they think it makes them cool.

What you have to realize is that we ( "sneakerheads" ) only make up about 5% MAYBE 10% of the public that buys JB products and although"we" might not thing something is "cool" the majority of the masses do!!! No matter what "we" think about any of their otherproducts besides the retro's and signature line, the fact is the rest of their products sell and they sell well!!!! Yeah stuff might go to outlets and whatnot but it STILL SELLS and they still turn a profit!!! You might say "yeah but then they sell it for less at the outlets" which is true BUTTTT Nikeis making ALL the profits at the outlet stores because they are selling them THEMSELVES and are not only making their wholesale costs they are also makingprofit on whatever they retail them at so in turn they are actually making MORE money by selling shoes at the outlets even though they might sell for cheaper.

As I said they know what they are doing and they are going to be JUST fine in the future... if anything they will continue to get stronger and make more moneyjust as they keep doing every year...

"You say I'm not the "E", you wanna make a bet?"

Remember this: Lounge you in the danger zone
I figured you would now leave me alone
You pick and you wish on a four leaf clover
To be the E double E (double) over and over
You're intrigued by the way I do my thing
(Do what?) Pick up the mic high and make it swing

[yamuda]

hopefully they stop.... i think the next number they would stop at is 45, which sounds like tooooo much....
so yeah 23 would be just the perfect number, and i wonder if they will still retro colors and such

LOLOL At least someone knows!!!

I love those guys!!!

 

[vahustler]

I wish they would stop at 23. jb sig's get uglier by the yr. to me. They should just continue to come out with different colorway retro's and fusionsand call it a wrap for the sigs.
