No I don't want a Wheaties inspired Jordan.. But Id love for them to bring back and collab with gear and apparel. My first poster came off a Wheaties Box with the 88 dunk from the line. This cereal is directly responsible for my obsession for Air Jordan shoes. From the 3 to the 6. Pics in their calendars showcased these shoes in a way no one else was doing at that time. I had the free throw line, and the graffiti posters when I was younger. With Gatorade doing their thing with JB, would you all be on board with a recollab with Wheaties? Just a thought.

No, maybe just an apparel line. But not a shoe. Wheaties is pretty significant to Air Jordan history. I thought there may be thoughts and memories to go with it.

I could go for a blue and orange CW (if done right) to go with my Astros fits... but knowing JB they'd find a way to svrew it up...

Something like this minus the green:

While I like the Gatorade thing they are doing with the 6s, the Carmine will always be the 6 in that commercial. So with that , yeah no need to make another gimmick shoe. Make OG classics with a spin to it. Like Wheaties, I think it would work. Tie that brand with Nike and see what happens. Make Wheaties cereal boxes with original images along with apparel from late 80s early 90s. I don't know I'm just trying to think of things I know Id like and maybe intrigue younger generation that has youtube and other search options interested.
 
The Gatorade 6s are a nice shoe. Both of them are. But they didn't have to do all that. If they would have brought back the 6 in og form with Gatorade branding on the box or a retro card with original photos that would have worked. Imagine an OG form of the black red 4 with a retro card of a poster from that time Wheaties had of MJ wearing the shoe. Or a reprint of Jordan flying out of the cereal box with bred 4s on, the Wheaties logo in the back. Bring back the nostalgia. But let todays buyers appreciate it.

Could just do new Sig releases too, VII's - XV's wouldn't look too bad IMO if done right...

I mean they've done Levis twice now, I think...so why not Wheaties?.? Im not a fan of the Gatorade 6's, but I do kinda like the 32's. Especially the Mike logo (my name is Mike, so maybe I'm biased) I do wish the retro cards would come back, it's not like it cost JB a ton of money.
 
Don't egg a desperate Jordan Brand on.....we might see Air Jordan "Hanes" edition soon :smh:

Those awful 13s and 6s coming out should suffice for a "wheaties" Jordan haha! But in all seriousness I agree with you with the potential for a solid clothing line or even some posters.
