I just hope they don't do something as absurd as MJ's first technical foul.

Some people have a tendency to try and drop old info as the new product is approaching and disguise it for new info they obtained. I talk to the account execs and product development team regularly from a relationship I developed from collaring people selling counterfeit goods. Not just Jordans but other companies as well. I just happen to be a collector as well so i will get calls from them for little favors they may need and vice versa, so i make small talk with the Jordan and Nike reps pick their brains a bit, thats all.

This is straight from the Brand Jordan account executives mouth in NY. "Going forward for 2009 the double pack program will be no longer. Brand Jordan will be looking ahead and trying a new concept similar to the Defining moments in Jordans career and will release a specific retro model shoe dating back to a specific date where MJ performed a certain career highlight. i.e. 69pts against the Cleveland cavaliers. The Retro 5 will be released on that calendar date. When he scored 55 on the Knicks on a certain date that Retro X will be released." Brand Jordan is going to use some of the rare mentioned moments in his career instead of the already used "over exhausted " models that have been retroed numerous times. i.e XIs. Some of his All-star models may be in there as well. They are trying to get back to that exclusive collector rarity mentality that has been lost. They feel the retro line has been to cut and dry as of late. Hope this sheds some light on where we are going for retros in the near future.

We have only been "tested" to how our consumption levels will react when:

1) Legendary pack- UNC, Chicago and Wizards XX3
2) Defining Moments Package
3) Collezione Countdown Package
4) Old Love New Love Beginning Moments Package
5) Hares I pack
6) XX3 Premier and Premiers-Finale soon-to-be
7) Flightclub online exclusives

And anything else I missed that you want to include on that list.


Nubuck XII Pack, Laser IV Pack, Thunder/Lightning Packs, Fire Red Spiz'ike are all I can think of. Aside from now having a careerand thus less free time to waste, part of the reason I don't frequent NT as much anymore is I see the same whining/complaining about the same issues forthe last 5 years now. Nike Air, shoddy quality, ruined legacy, etc. At the end of the day, it's put up or shut up. If you don't like the product ordirection, then go somewhere else, but you're either in or out. Lord knows I've posted more than once about the direction this company has chosen andits cannibalism of new products by the reliance on retros and retro design elements, but it's not something I can control or really care about. It wouldbe nice if they made quality products that didn't !#!*# out the legacy and came up with new ideas, but if they don't I won't lose sleep. I grew upa Jordan head, but it's not that serious in the end. When I like, I buy and when I don't, I pass.
