I've been laughed at for wearing J's before. I didn't care then, I don't care now, & I won't care when it happens again. I won't let the masses dictate to what I wear just because it's popular. J's could drop down to $30 like Shaq's, and if I like the shoe, it will be brought. I grew up watching the man play in these sneaks & I can't forget that, so the shoes will always mean something more to me.
you're watching Kobe beast on the court, why dont you buy his shoes too?

MJ was one of my childhood hero's. Kobe isn't. I'm grown now. MJ is the GOAT & I was lucky enough to grow up watching him. As a kid I thought (& I'm pretty sure alot of others did too) I could be like Mike if I got the shoes. With me it all boils down to when I grew up. I grew up watching MJ...not Kobe so it's like the shoes have a sense of history with me.
ok cool, so revisiting my point, kids are growing up watching Kobe, in 5, 10 years, they're gonna be gettin all the Kobe shoes because thatswho they grew up watching, and thats gonna be whats hot, think about it, its deja vu, with Kobe of course

If they went out of style, that would be better for me. More Jordans for me at a cheaper price

I'm in my 30's and have followed the brand since I 1st saw the AJ V....and have been interested by not only that shoe and several after, but by theidea that AJ's are kind of like bookmark's in my life...when a retro drops that I had when I was in, say college....it takes me back a bit to thosedays. I know many on this board are the same....this is why I don't think the Brand will ever go out of style. Even if we are getting sub-par retrosquality wise....people will still buy the shoes and the brand will always make money.
Just because a shoe doesn't sell out in a day or even a week across the country, it doesn't make it un-profitable. Retail 101 - Stores buy the shoesfrom JB @ cost....they then sell them @ retail. Once they go unsold for awhile they go on sale (usually still at a profit....just less). If no one buys, oftenan RTV happens (AJ2009). Every now and again, someone posts a retails sales report for a shoe category...and what do you know...JB usually has most or all ofthe top spots....and that's with the "&*^" fusions and team shoes....the brand knows fully that they can produce sales figures whenever theydeem necessary by actually giving us something that resembles what we actually want (a faithful retro in an OG colorway).....amazing business model if you askme....unlike any other in the world that I can think of....

' older retros and there are soo many of them unless you have like 3/4s of a million dollars you cant cop them all soo thats what keeps it interesting...collecting doesn't necessarily mean you have to wear them... BTW whos to say you wont like newer retros? the dmp 1s for examplee lots of people like theblack/red joints..

I could care less whether jordans are "in style" or not. I feel like you have no style if you follow everything that's hot right now. I wear/buyjordans because I like them. Its not the price tag..its my sneaker taste. Its all about what YOU want to wear not what people are going to say or how they willlook at you or how you will be viewed by the "fashion police". Wear what you like is my point.

If Jordans died out, we wouldn't have to deal with shoe pirates anymore.

In general society, Jordans have been out of style...It's only the 1% of people whom are sneakerheads that still wear them...

Honestly Jordan's went out of style in 06 or 07 when FAKE Jordan's became the mass epidemic.....
