This might come off as venting but I signed up with NT just to post this. Ill make it quick and simple.
I know that there are alot of people who have been throwing Jordan under the bus with the last fiascos (raised prices, crap quality, discusting colorways andFrankensteins). In my opinion as a collector they have totally not only ruined their image but managed to screw over all their loyal customers as well. Thislast Space Jam release put the nail in the coffin for me and that brand. First off selling a shoe at 175$ that didnt even go thru quality control is garbage.How can you as a respected company put out this crap? Not only put it out but I like many of you went thru the grind just to get a pair. I own multiple pairsof Original Space jams and when I got my new pair in the mail yesterday from Finish line I almost laughed my **! off after seeing all the little bumps in thewhite and quality of material. I looked at the shoe held it in my hand turned it around a couple of times and just Pictured all the people in JB knowing thatthey are putting out a product for top dollar that wouldn't pass QC in any company PERIOD. Then I went and got some OG Jams to compare the quality andpeople who say they are on PAR must be delusional. Night and Day difference. I applaud JB for making tons of money...at the end of the day its only businessright? But when you have such a strong following of people trying to get shoes I.E. all the Spacejam threads....you have to have a little bit of heart andcompassion to not only put out a good product that meets the expectations of your customers but also keeps the Mystique of what your company and the XI is allabout.. Picture some little Chinese guy coming out the factory telling his boss that they have a problem and all the shoes have little extra bumps then theboss calls up corporate JB and they just say well uhhh how much is it gonna cost to fix it...ahhh screw it just put it out. We dont want to put oput a qualityproduct. And they know nobody will return them.....
That's just shady business.
So all in all after hearing all the horror stories in this forum about Jordan brand i just cannot stomach anymore to fork over anymore of my MONEY to theseguys who are obviously taking clear advanatage of a heritage once lost to people who just want to cut corners, cut cost, and make more money doing so. Im notgonna be a SUCKER anymore.
My final word on all of this is for all your NEWBS out there in the Jordan game that havent been around since the golden years of 99-00 god bless your soulsand money. JB is pulling your pants down and not even giving you the courtesy of......well you know.
Good Bye JB you really disappointed me.
