People still trying to pin it all on Gentry when MJ himself hasn't given a rats %!@ in years.

They'll keep making Kobe shoes til they stop selling, not til he stops playing. And if they stop selling, they'll offset the losses against some other shoe instead.

Galaxy models seem to hold their value well. Maybe some other upper end Samsung models? Otherwise, since new models are released more often, i'd say they don't hold their value as long as an iPhone.

Some people say the Zoom units were improved over the OGs. Your mileage may vary, and all that.

One of very few shoes i would still give Nike money for......if they did them right.

$150? I hope they do these better than the last time......

They're saving them for later. Every time a shoe gets blown up here, it builds hype, and JB can push them back. NT does half the work for them.

Nope. If these don't make the numbers JB want, they'll just offset the losses against future shoes they know will sell. JB won't stop this nonsense until people, en masse, stop buying Jordans. Full stop. You know what's next? They'll start hybriding the hybrids. Wait til you see the...

Is it just me, or does the thread title infer semi-substantiated rumor, rather than broad speculation?

Three is heel and forefoot. Not sure any triple stacked zoom shoes exist at all.?

Lebrons are usually pretty narrow, but i've not bought any since the VII, so wait until someone else chips in.

Some interesting stuff there. IIRC, It's been claimed, and not just by Nike, that reverse engineering molds is is not far off the cost of starting from scratch. They need convincing i guess. Some people speculated the monkey paw is an issue as well... although can it be that...

Last run of Penny IVs were cut-rate garbage. I have my doubs another round would be any better.

I'm gonna engage in rampant speculation and suggest: They were made on campus - Nike do have a small factory on the campus, right? They have a separate mold for *Payton's* shoe size/PEs 'Destroyed the mold' then is shorthand for: We don't have any molds for mass production/multiple sizes, and...

Jordan himself doesn't give a flying crap, the company is making money hand over fist. Until sales taper off, they'll be charging more and more.
