1. How DOES Brand Jordan KEEP you as a Consumer? The only shoes I own from JB since 2000 are the 1st colorway of the XX2, black stealth XX3, and all starrelease XX3. They kept me as a consumer, because of the shoes that were re-releasing. However, once in my position, the shoes just werent the same as Iremembered. My 1999 White/Cement IV's and 2000 Fire Red V's, Infrared VI's, and Black Metallic V's were pretty much exact as I had them as akid in 90-91, and they were just as comfortable. I still wear my shoes from 2000. However, hear recently on the IV's and V, I just was not happy at all. They were not comfortable, and just looked and felt cheap, so I sold every single pair. They only reason I am still around as a consumer is because of thecomfort and performance level of the XX1, XX2 and XX3. If not for playing basketball, I would not have owned anything Produced by JB since 2000. If Nike Airmade a return on the III-VI, I would definitely purchase a shoe.
2. Would you participate in such a Program where you weren't competing against other kids of the Younger Generation for the Shoes YOU Covet so much? Yes, I would definitely support a program like this. Just to have and wear a shoe that closely resembled the original would be great.
3. If this type of release proved that the OG Consumer just can't be sustained because of Poor Sales, would you still complain that Jordan doesn'tlook to Market to you anymore? Yes, I would still complain. We all know that it is relatively cheap to produce a shoe originally made in the late 80'sand early 90's. Why cut corners, and change the shape, midsole, and quality of leather, and nubuck on a shoe. Why not put Nike Air on a shoe, when theshoe was made with it. I get tired of hearing: " well JB is there own company now, why are they going to put a Nike symbol on their product, when theJumpan is what represents the company". If thats the case, stop using the air in the shoes too. JB's supposed to be the Ferrari of the shoeindustry. Well Ferrari would never "half *#*" a product. Im in favor of them increasing the price a little bit more, just so they can use the samequality of materials as before 2003. They will still sell out. Especially when you see the majority of OG color retros going for more than retail a yearafter release.
