Gentry Humphrey leaves Nike

This, once his name rang out theyve been in steady decline in terms of shoes id actually wear. They need to stop it with all this highlighter coloring of every damn shoe. What happened to the days when a clean shoe was a clean shoe, didnt need 89 colors and materials to make it fresh. (dont get me wrong different textures is fuego but Gentry jumped the shark in like 07-08)
 
Was he in charge of designing and or approving every color that NIKEs drop in? Serious question.

Seems like he gets a lot of undue hate. There are enough not screaming loud colorways for people like me to be happy and enough loudness to keep the flashy types happy. With all of the shoes that NIKE drops, I can't say I care too much when something doesn't fit my taste. It's not my job to buy up every (in my case Air Force 1) that drops. So if they aren't for me, no big deal.

Unrelated: kudos to whomever is in charge of Air Force 1s lately. [emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]128079[/emoji][emoji]128079[/emoji] Between the remastereds and other simple colorways, you've brought my favorite shoe back to where it belongs... my feet.

Looks like that garbage grey/white & orange 12's
 
I hate what he did for NSW

From changing the materials of retros like they do with Jordan's to the bastardization of the foamposite.

Foams went from being in a smokey club in front of 200 to being Iggy Azalea

Yeah, thanks a lot Gentry :rolleyes
