Why just operate in a niche market when you can appeal to the mass market?Originally Posted by Crazy EBW
The average customer loves the idea of a Jordan mixed with an Air Force I think. I can't really see why else they would like it.
It would of been cool if they did the XII Fusion and left it at that. Everything else just went TOO FAR with it and kinda killed the "niche" factor behind it.
I understand your point, but we've all seen how the fusions have sold - Nike/JB would have been foolish to have stopped at the XII fusion given how the subsequent ones have sold. They may not appeal to you or I, but they sell and that's what really matters at the end of the day.
Put it this way - I don't care much for Soap Operas, but they are some of the most followed television programming out there - crank out repetitive (ie: cheap and easy) storylines that appeal to the lowest level intellectual demographic and couple that with low production costs, and there you have a simple product that generates a lot of revenue. Same principle for the fusion lines.
