I always imagined MJs death would be the “last hurrah” for fans, copping everything OG…and then it would turn into what we have with Kobe

I could see MJ being petty enough to have it in his contract that once he passes Retro Jordans and sigs are done

There is -50% chance Nike would EVER allow this. I know they renegotiated MJ’s contract awhile back so I’m sure this is part of it.I could see MJ being petty enough to have it in his contract that once he passes Retro Jordans and sigs are done
JB is their bread and butter in so many ways.
Without JB, Nike would be cooked tbh

It’ll be absolute chaos when that day comes tbh. I bet every major pro sports league in the US will do some kind of MJ tribute because of his contribution to American sports culture. ESPN will broadcast MJ content nonstop and talking heads will constantly bring up the old “MJ > LeBron” arguments just to make sure the dead horse is well beaten.
On the sneaker side, people will literally fiend for Js as well and newer resellers will start buying up fusions, mids, etc. like they did with Kobe ADs, etc.
It’ll be absolute madness.

I’m going to start stockpiling mids by the dozens.
20 years from now, they’ll be worth their weight in gold.

JB needs to release a horrendous reimagined pair that mixes aged leather with suede and satin ASAP
nothing unifies this thread more than the collective disgust when they do some wild **** like this

Interested to see if they end up looking like that (like the sample from a few years back) or a complete different color blocking.

No way they would fumble the bag like that. Kobe's were in outlets before he died.
People here talk about how kids today never even saw MJ play, or don't even know who he is/was, and then talk about how his death would be the "last hurrah". Might bring in a flood of casuals like The Last Dance did during COVID times, but the real fans are already all in.

The sample pair was Chicagos and Neutral Grays
(Via @mr_unloved1s on IG)
I'd love these to drop or even these with a Shadow top, but my expectation is always a completely different colorblocking when the colorway sounds too good.

Does Nike have 100% ownership of all their collab shoes?
Or do the brands they partner with have some say over whether they get retroed?
Matter of fact, has a collab Jordan ever been retroed?

I would've thought it was all Nike, but I remember there being a mess when the Yellow Toes were initially rumored to drop and the guys from Shinedown supposedly threw a fit because it was too close to their PE.

Could JB retro the first two Union 1s if they wanted to?
Or would they need Union to sign off?
Not that Union would care, as long as Nike wrote a big check.

Probably need Union to sign off since they use their logos and whatnot. Same thing with AMM, O-W, etc. etc.
One way around this is to release these as “unbranded” Unions but they kinda already did that with this weird release:
