I just want to hear some peoples ideas about the boycott that some people are taking for the fall and winter JB releases. Me personally, I won't be buying them but I won't go as for to say as I am boycotting them. I just don't feel it is worth the money for them anymore when you can get older retros for a few bucks more.
 
JB still gonna be doin this

yeah i know that for sure. I'm not trying to say the boycott is going to work because we all know it won't affect JB at all with only a few people. Just wanted to know if you guys liked the idea of it. Because in a perfect world we would be able to get good quality for fair pricing but this is no where near that. So just wondered if you guys would entertain the thought
 
I'm pretty sure whoever's gonna boycott, will give in and eventually buy them for resell or end up buying another one of the retro releases next year.
 
This is news to me... Where did you hear this from? Cause we all know at this point its just cop or not, regardless JB will be ^^^
 
Will be purchasing 1 of my grails for the first time ever.

Im gonna beat these sneakers to a pulp. 

Im probably getting 2 pairs.
 
Y'all wouldn't boycott Nike/JB for their labor practices, but you will because they raise their product is slipping? :smh:

A boycott usually has some lofty motive behind it. It's not the same as simply not copping...

No need to be so absolute about it - if you don't think the product is worth the money, don't buy it. If you think the next one is, buy it. ...You know, just exhibit the same consumer behavior you do in pretty much every other aspect of your lives.

But, since I hear talk of boycotting all the time, let me just say this. if any of you are actually serious about a boycott, you have to understand that even if it is successful, you won't see results for a long time. Ostensibly, you are trying to create a social change within a community - that isn't going to happen by the next release. The Air Jordan brand didn't achieve its popularity overnight and people didn't become "Jordanheads" over a few months. ...It's like dieting - it took you a long time to get fat, so you're not going to realistically lose all that weight in two weeks. Even if, for argument's sake, you mobilized a successful boycott of AJ numbered retros - you probably wouldn't actually start seeing marquis releases not sell out until mid 2014. It takes time for these things to develop real traction, just like the trends themselves.

(This is a much more serious answer than this post deserves)

So will we ever see JB drop the retro 4+ blue speckle that was supposed to be after 25 years of waiting?
