Probably. But we acting like the reason Nike didn’t make Jordan’s was money. And money is what drove the thread subject.

Id argue Kanye made more people buy Jordan’s than Mike but I’m not going there today.

Sole Collector was promoting this not being about race, soccer moms are sneakerheads too narrative some years ago. They even promoted their site as such being the beacon of the anti hood perspective.
The whole site and their entire staff were nothing but a bunch of appropriators. Culture vultures on the real.

Ironically, does that statement not prove the gentrification that we are talking about? LOL

Those Burgundy 5’s triggered a whole style shift for me. My 1st pair of 5s tooSole Collector was promoting this not being about race, soccer moms are sneakerheads too narrative some years ago. They even promoted their site as such being the beacon of the anti hood perspective.

Hopefully they get retro’d w/ the same shape. I like that 00s aj5 shape better, but those shoes are unwearable now. Unfortunately.07 Aquas & Olive 5’s need a retro as well.

No please, go there.
Kanye did play a key roll and possibly the key role in the modern day appeal towards sneakers, and I would argue that he’s the guy after Michael Jordan. Especially the rarity aspect.Interesting. So it wasn't Kanye?
Him, Cudi, Wale, Nate Robinson, Joe Budden, and some others would always be featured in Celebrity SneakerStalker articles during the “blog era” fueling the hype culture we have today. Kid Cudi is definitely the reason Travis Scott did Jordan 4. The Jordan 1 hype is definitely Kanye. He’s definitely the reason I got into them b/c I wore dunks.
Think of the Yeezy Tree, dude really kicked in the door for Black none Black athletes to get a spotlight in the culture they revolutionized.

But who did Kanye emulate? Where did he get his stylistic cues from?
Therein lies the problem of giving Kanye credit for this thing.

I’m sorry but there’s absolutely no merit to attributing anything to Kanye

There is indeed a demo here that wishes NikeTalk would take their cues from what sole collector tried to do. They do not want too many threads about Black culture, and they do not want any discussion on how and why Black people created this thing, and then everything else in between.
This is why they are comfortable with Michael Jordan keeping his political leanings close to the vest. It gives them the chance to state that Jordan, or someone like the late Kobe Bryant, owed nothing to the Black community while buying their shoes. Those of us who know the history, are simply making everything about race.

I've seen some dumb **** on this site but this might take the gold medal.
Jordan Brand isn't a thing without MJ. People wouldn't be wearing basketball shoes off the court if not for MJ.
