I havent looked at or bought shoes for about two years, is this the new craze?
yes it's somewhat of a new craze the yong kids love the fusions but most of the J heads hate them,or atleast i hate them
i think kids like fusions because, in a way, it's something fresh and new and also kind of something they can call their own. sort of like it was for us in the '80s when jordans 1st hit. fusions have elements of the OGs/retros along with changes that make the shoes "new" and Different" and "cool."
the kiddies will never see things as we do. so i say let them have their fusions. if this is the direction JB wants to continue to go towards then so be it. JB is the one that will pay the price in the end.
all we can do to protest is simply not buy, but the majority will still buy anyway so imo it is a lost cause. i'll be 30 soon and i don't care as much about kicks as i used to tho it will undoubtedly always be a part of me.
one thing i don't do waste waste time being upset about JB's practices because at some point i realized that they hear us, but they ain't really listening. that being said, i just buy what i like (ain't that ain't much as far as JB is concerned these days). nike retro gets the vast majority of my money these days save for the few scattered JB releases that i deem acceptable.
sad what JB has become, but it is what it is. as a grown man with a family to take care, there are much more important things to worry about than JB and it's BS practices.
at the end of the day, i'll always be a PURIST so when they do decide to drop retros in OG colorways with acceptable quality i'll be there.
Nicely said I agree 100%
