Top 5 Pet Peeves. Jordan Brand Edition

[lobotomybeats]

some that haven't been mentioned but equally important..
5. lack of lighthearted commercials (Bugs Bunny, with CB34, etc...)
4. needing details to "make" the shoe. (blacklight writing, titanium coating, 16 dots to form the word JORDAN)
3. not caring if I drink too much to make it to the morning release.
2. emphasizing designers. this didn't use to happen. A shoe could stand on its own merits without having to tout the "return of the father of the airJordan" or whatever.
1. too much emphasis on heritage. I get it. there have been loads of other Jordans, can we not reference them ad nauseum?

If that's true, why were you looking away from the camera when you said it?

[kraphael92]

1.Fakes
2. Quality
3. Creases
4. Yellowing
5. Fusions

 

[mpowers16]

5. Clear Soles Yellowing

4. Ridiculous overpricing of Current Peformance Based Models: Noone buys them to play in, thus no mythology is created by today's pairs

3. Non-creativity in terms of color palettes

2. Saturation of market, due to variants, chain stores etc.

1. Availability of information; Growing up, I sat glued to the ASG, the playoffs, and Sports Illustrated to catch a PEEK of what the Jordans looked like.

The Jordan commercials would also only show a brief shot of the shoes, relying on that mystery and anticipation to fuel wonder thus sales.

I am Internet fan #1, but it has killed that "anticipation" of finally seeing and maybe owning the ultimate sneaker...the Air Jordan!

 

[r3tro 3]

In NO Paticular Order...

Employees @ Retail stores mainly FootLocker - FinishLine - FootAction and Champs that lie about Release dates , Stock on hand and Prices

The Resellers online that sell FAKES but Lie and say they're 100% Authentic

The Resellers online who lie about the actual condition of a shoe

The Retail stores sell fakes along with their authentic Kix

Anyone spreading disinformation on Niketalk

ALL CREATE DISSATISFACTION!!!
