why does everyone hate old jordans?

The reason I appreciate and love the original Jordans is because MJ did his thing in them! My uncle bought me every new Air Jordan since the 1 (Born in 84)to the XIII and I remember watching MJ in awe every game and trying to imitate what he did.

A lot of these young kids that come into my shop wearing fakes or fusions or hybrid offsprings have never seen an actual MJ game so they have no idea what theoriginal Jordans are or what I'm wearing on that day. It saddens me that Jordan Brand is butchering these OG Jordans and hybriding them with all sorts ofother shoes, its just ugly and disrespectful of the originals that inspired us all to be more like Mike.

Sure the demographic has changed and JB is changing with the times, but they are losing loyal fans left and right by churning out more frankenstiens andinferior quality shoes. They are turning into GM motors with a thousand different models, weak designs, cheap quality, low performance, and horrid colorplacement. They need to re-evaluate and focus on fewer shoes with better design, quality, and performance.
 
Growing up, I always told myself that as I got older, I wouldn't hate on the younger generations music, style, etc. because it seems that every generationdoes that. My parents hate my music,

and their parents hated their music/style. But honestly, smh at some of these youngins. I went to NT s.f. the other day, and all I saw was tight colored pantsand fusions everywhere. What people like

does have a lot to do with age. Who knows, maybe in 10 years, all this JB crap will be in high demand as the og's are to us older heads.

When I read the post I assumed you were in HS or younger. Most youngins dont understand the history behind the brand of Air Jordan. When you have people like Nelly and Jermaine Dupri on 106 & Park or Access Granted promoting 6 Rings and Fusions, the young fans with no prior knowledge of Air Jordans assume thats what Jordans are all about. When I was your age we had,

No wonder you kids are confsued, lol. I dont blame them though, I blame JB for releasing such garbage. Just educate your friends and let them know that FUSIONS ARE GARBAGE and tell then to do a lil background check on the kicks they wear and they'll see what real "heat" is.

Exactly......listen up youngens and ya might learn a thing or two


damn this is sad how things change good thing i have all my sneakers in great condition and i was 16 when all them heat came out

I dunno though I feel like growing up I woulda been mentally scarred if Wu-Tang started wearing tight, colored jeans and dressing like women like Kanye, LilWayne, etc. Wack is wack, dudes these days just seem like they are trying WAY to hard to be stylish, cool and "different".
 
i feel you guys.im 21 and my girls cousin is 16 and we always fight cuz he thinks he stuntin more than me in fusions and team jordans..he knows nottin
tired.gif
 
i love the retro's and OG's!! Cant seem to stop spending money on em!! I m addicted
 
Of course your friend is gonna like newer shoes. They're "hot" right now and he didn't grow up seeing the older shoes.
 
hah these youngster.....let em buy the wack !@#$ that jb is puttin out, n save the ogs n retros fo me
 
Well sir, your friend is a clown and doesn't know anything about Jordans. How you gonna say a fusion is better than a og or a retro og?? $%%?
 
You're 15 with OG XI's? I'm not a hater, but tagged pics please. I'm curious to see the condition they are in knowing you are 15.
 
I guess that the younger generation appreciates what they have out now. When i was coming up in the'90's all we had was the originals(what Mike washoopin in).A lot of those fusions out now are garbage.The 9's,6's,and the 12's fusions are the only ones i like. Also they don't know thedemand of the retros to the older cats. The younger generation need to go to youtube.com and watch some vintage Mike in action.
 
I guess it's jus u yung punks dats goin crazy over dem fusion Jay's I remember a time where u couldn't where nuthin but number Jordans no teamJordans,low tops,none of dat but I think dat is very ******ed if u want a pair of fusions over these

They do focus groups and all that crap to see whats popular with your average joe shmoe that walks into a finishline to grab a pair of new shoes.


You can hate on them for liking fusions, its what they like.

Fusions and all hybrids except for spizikes are corny as hell.. recycling can only go so far.. and especially a sneaker like the AF1 that has already beensqueezed dry.. that's not cool.. I can see the popularity of the AF1 being the driving force behind it.. but it seems like the recession has been forcingthem to cut down on the skilled designers over there.. it's drrYY just start releasing OG colorways again

KIDS, stay in school & worry about your grades.. Let me school all of you youngsters (12-16 years of age) really quick, if you don't know anythingabout OG's or older Retro's & tell your friends that your Fusions & newer Retro's are cool & their OG or Older Retro Jays are ugly& fake..QUIT collecting.. Leave it to the REAL collectors.. Class Dismissed
