So can we say Hannah Montana did more for Jordan’s than Micheal jordan?
Does Nike use people to make things hyped? Sure. I don't think anyone would argue that. But this all started with this, and this is crazy talk:Youre taking it for a whole. Jordans have ALWAYS been popular but to say one or two people/events didnt influence the CURRENT trend at the time then idk what to tell you. Ye started wearing 1’s and brought some hype to them, thats just what it is. Did he bring em back from the dead? Did he make them relevant again? No cause they werent dead or not relevant, but he threw the spotlight on em for a bit. Look what happened the the MJ documentary came out last year, it blew up prices for OG’s following that.
Ya’ll thinking were giving Ye too much credit, it aint even like that.
Id argue Kanye made more people buy Jordan’s than Mike but I’m not going there today.

It doesn’t matter if you, your friends, or your whole hood was rocking j1s or polo before Kanye bc nobody knows who the **** you are
You say some stupid **** mayne...
Why does Nike need to rebuild consumer trust after this? I don’t think folks are going to stop rocking with Nike because of this scandal. That would be like saying people don’t want to go Ivy League schools anymore because of the college admissions scandalNike's Trust Issues
CEO John Donahoe said after the recent resell scandal that the brand needs to rebuild consumer trust. How can Nike do that and what does success look like?www.yahoo.com

BINGO!I think the only people who care or know about this are the small niche sneaker community. We tend to think we're more important to Nike than we are.

Yes I remember a reseller asking $600 for ds Heineken size 11 in 2006. Too much at the time, prices very high now.I’m clearly discussing this with people who are a lot younger than me. I should only speak on this with people who are over 30 cause only they would remember how popular dunks were back in the early-mid 2000s
dudes don’t know/remember how expensive dunk SBs were back then too. All the modern 2019-2021 releases sitting around 300-400, those were the resell prices for Jedis, Rayguns, etc. when they first dropped (and they went up over time from there). Tiffany and Unkle Dunks were sitting at 1K around that time. This doesn’t even include all the GRs that so many damn people used to wear. Tons of people who missed out on the hyped SB drops would even get GRs and stuff them to make them look like SBs.
there was a HUGE dive in demand/prices for SBs/Jordansaround the late 2000s when Nike ran out of ideas and started coming out with trash SBs, or releasing Jordans that were creased beyond belief after 1 wear (like the Military Blue 4s). Many of my friends and I had almost completely stopped buying Nikes/Jordans because of awful design decisions and quality control, and this was reflected in the resale market where you could buy previously “hyped”shoes for hundreds of dollars less than normal.
So yes, people like Kanye, Travis Scott, etc can be credited with the revival in hype, but not for the initial demand itself
Big facts
I look at pictures like this and I’m glad I don’t give a **** about shoes like I used to.
Collecting has become lame as ****.
