That guy on youtube gets his kicks 2 months+ in advance. Says he buys 3-4
pairs a week! That's a serious spender there. 3 pairs of titaniums (just happened to be #s 71,72, and 73) and a pair getting signed by MJ.

Haha look at all the chaos amidst, have we forgotten that they're just sneakers that we usually buy for a nostalgic reason?

Nah they're not just sneakers.
I realized that when the DMP released. Took this whole shoe thing to a whole different level.

You are right. In the end, we are buying sneakers. If you dont agree with the principles that JB's business model consists of, then we are notobligated to buy the shoes. All of the talk about hoping that the Jordan Brand gets screwed, and that it serves them right...That is ridiculous. Jordan Brandis a business, a business is supposed to make a profit. If Jordan Brand no longer makes a profit, we arent going to be getting our shoes anyway. If I own abusiness and somebody is stealing my product and potentially hurting sales and nullifying my advertising and "hype" tactics, then I am going to doall that I can to stop this from happening.
Cracking down on the likes of Air-Randy and others is probably going to be best for the brand in the long run. Will I miss getting an early peek at shoes?Absolutely. But I also understand the reasoning behind it.
EDIT: After RE-RE-RE-reading my above post, I hope that my point isnt lost amongst my mumble jumble. I dont know if I explained it right, but I cant think of abetter way. Oh well, I'll wait and see.

the ironic thing is; you guys argue and complain, but are the same people camping out at releases and pretty much giving JB your money...

I'm not going to lose any sleep if JB is losing a few bucks from this. With all the bs they do, they deserve it.
I would never buy from AR or MS because I think paying extra to get a shoe early is dumb, but I ALWAYS appreciate the pictures.
Hopefully they find a new connect and keep them coming =)

You got that right! When the initial XX3 pics surfaced..maaad people were hating on the sketches including myself. But as soon as people heard the XX3Titanium was coming out, cats went straight out that door and lined up for days to get the first XX3.
I'm pretty sure JB has people that inform them about what the overall consensus of opinion is on their company tactics. But the brand is smart enough toknow that they have each and every one of us by every last cent in our pocket so as long as they're not going anywhere...we're not going anywhere!

Damn that sucks. Now we have to wait in line for the shoe and hopefully not get into a fight waiting for the store to open? I remember when I walked in to Champs and saw the Original XIII (Wh-Blk) shoe before release day. They also had the posters up for the shoe. I wonder how we will see the Jordans now because the commercials certainly don't show the shoe like they used to.
While, I don't condone stealing the shoes prior to release day, I certainly don't feel sorry for the Jordan Brand. Somewhere down the line, JB forgot about their customers that made them who they are and solely care about the almighty dollar. Instead of worrying about these leaked pics they should do an internal investigation and find out who is in charge of releasing these inferior products and colorways. It's a shame to see how this company has turned from something inspired by greatness to being inspired by profit. There is a way to have both. 2008, the year they killed Jordan Brand.

Ya'll look mad foolish assuming that everyone "complaining", as ya'll like to call it, is standing in line waiting for JB bait. Hard tounderstand that JB doesn't have everyone by the scrotum, ain't it? I ain't stood in a line in 8 years. I'm not alone. Cut that out.
Haven't ya'll realized the "don't like, don't buy" bull doesn't work?

Now you don't like "the chase" because you have to chase after the shoes also? Hypocrite bastard.

Never lined up and never will.
Just like everyone else here, i love the jordan design and hold many with deep sentimental value, but also like many here, i feel as though i am beingtaken for a ride by jordan brand with all this limited release and chase nonsense. The company deserves to be criticised and held in contempt by their ownintentional actions.
Hell, my wife read an article on michael jordan where even he expressed dissatisfaction towards Jordan Brand and their methodology. I asked her for the link topost here, but it was a hard copy chinese magazine.
JB is rotten.
As soon as i can get my VI/XVII's, i'm out. I might get an odd shoe here or there to fill in my gaps as they're inevitably re-re-released. Speakingof which, what is this, star wars?

im laughing at all these people crying about shoes getting stolen. why anyone of you even care is beyond me. i myself love to hear about corporations takingL's, and this isnt even taking an L, this counts for way less then 1% of anything.
