Is Nike joking?
This is just another sad attempt by Nike to capitalize on a tried and true design. Are they really running out of ideas where they have to produce thesederivative designs and try to pass them off as "retro-inspired". Where is the creativity? Where is the originality? I mean, this "ZoomPhenom" is based off of the "Sharkleys" which were supposedly inspired by the Barkleys and the Shake Ndestrukts but they still end up lookinglike a Air Jordan XI rip-off. So what Nike is doing is selling a rip-off design of another rip-off design of an original Nike/Jordan shoe?
There is no low for Nike when it comes to the basketball/Jordan design.
Well, if I am going to be critical of Nike/Jordan I might as well ask these questions as well.
Is there any way where Jordan Brand doesn't produce another Air Jordan shoe with a patent leather toe cap on it?
How can the XI truly remain an iconic shoe when they are producing these bastardized designs based off of it?
Is anyone else just really sick of this whole Retro and Fusion crap that Jordan Brand is dishing out on a monthly basis?
Nike should just leave that butchering of their own company's designs to Reebok.
I know they are a company finding new ways to capitalize on people's shoe fetishes, but come on... where's the class?
