This is exactly right. It seems that most people on here just cannot take a step away from their perspective to see what the majority of people do.Another thing I wanted to add, everything goes to the outlets because they make huge quantities. On most if not all team shoes there is no real limit to howmany are made. It seems that retros always are more limited than teams, the teams are made in huge quantities and a ton of them are sold. If you see the shoesgo on sale at footlocker a couple months after that doesnt really hurt JB at all, they already sold those shoes to footlocker at the same cost they sold allthe ones before it. How many restocks happen before the shoes get older and a little less popular? I am sure JB has made plenty of money by then. Then whenfootlocker stops ordering more pairs, they send them to the outlets, undercut footlocker, and make larger profits than before! They are not going to be hurt bystopping the sig line nor retros. It will only help because they know they can only ride the retros for so long, eventually they HAVE TO have NEW products thatpeople want. And right now the new things people buy are Team shoes. They would rather steer their customers away from retros and sig shoes so they can startdeveloping their team lines even more. The way I see it is, if they dont have their main Air Jordan that costs $175 they can have each player have a sig shoe.Melos can be 175, CP3s 175, Durants 175. Every team player that makes a decent name for themselves can have an overpriced shoe instead of just MJ who islargely a forgotten figure to a huge chunk of the sneaker buying customer base.Originally Posted by 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 some other 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 think they 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 then anything 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 because they 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 other products 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 what not 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 Nike is 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 making profit 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 money just as they keep doing every year...
