They were a work of art that saved the Air Jordan line. People find it impossible to believe that Air Jordans were approaching third tier basketball shoe status in 1995. That year Air Maxes and Cross trainers were the most desired sneakers in general public. The Air Max 95 was KING sneaker at...
This is the wake up call they needed. Like airave pointed out this company has not been innovative since the 90s. They have been running off 1-14 retro fumes this whole millenium. Social media and smartphones gave JB a second wind but now its fading away. Time for them to devote all of their...
I agree with the reduce the price part. $150 is a fair price to pay for XIIIs. $170 was a turnoff 4 years ago and now $190 is plain nasty.
Back in summer of 98 this was a colorway I really was looking foward to. Jordan was balling out of his mind with them on TV. I was seriously thinking these...
December 1990 on a Friday. Metallic 5 on sale at JC Penny size 4. I could not believe I finally was getting a pair of Air Jordans. My mom took me to go see Home Alone in the theatres the same day. All that weekend I looked at the shoes, tried them on a million times and played with the lace...
I have been asking this question for years in the sneaker community about this shoe and maybe it can be answered in this thread.
When did the OGs of this colorway officially produce and release? The reason why I ask this is because when the white/black 13s dropped I know 2 people for certain...
Its simple. Pick up the chair and throw that mf towards the parking lot with much force and disgust. Ghost chairs get my blood boiling like how some people react to road rage. It is selfish, it is inconsiderate, it takes up space and creates confusion. NEVER back down to a chair or its owner...
Skip the chairs. I dont respect chairs at all. Im old school. Once you are in line you are in line. No breaks, no food runs, nah. Im the the guy that speaks up when somebody think he about to slide his homeboys in and let them cut the line. I had to do this a couple of times with some locals a...
Can one of you NT OGs be kind enough to share a quick rundown about the initial Banned 1 release. TBH the only thing I know about them is everyone raves about the leather. How did they end up at outlets? I am completely clueless on information about releases from 2004-2012.
This thread makes me embarrassed to wear Jordans. Bring back Air Sak ASAP. At least he was funny at times and could take attacks on the chin. Cant believe he got clapped for this f'ery to be still running rampant in the thread.
People have a right to complain. If you are spending $200 plus tax on a sneaker especially called "the master" you would expect decent quality. People are in here voicing concerns because this thread along with all the shoe blogs and twitter beasts have been bragging about the quality of these...
Some bum (yeah YOU) stole these, my black 17s, clothes and socks, my PS2 and a laptop out of my dorm room in early 2002 when i went home on an emergency leave one weekend from college. I cant look at a pair of Jams and not think about it.
Sad thing about the situation it was a cat that really...
No brainer autocop. The way people may feel for Chicago 1s, Cement 4s is how i feel about this particular colorway. Powder IX and Olive IX are my GOAT sneakers but this colorway is the reason why I love Air Jordan IXs. The first time I seen these on feet I could not stop looking at them. Perfect...
Congrats to everyone that copped. Some of you on the board have been praising these sneakers for decades and been waiting since 1999 (even 1989 for some of our OG members) for a re release. Im happy for you guys. I dont care if they are a ultra mega hyper GR that Nike Air on the back...
The black and red XIIs dropped a full week before spring break in my area back in 97. This was the shoe to have back then. Alot of guys from my HS skipped class to go pick these up at lunch. I thought that was crazy back then but that following weekend they were sold out everywhere and kids came...
Im a fan of the 2009 Air Jordan. They are my favorite post 23 pair. They are the best constructed sneaker in my collection. Nothing but quality materials all over. I have the white/black pair. The leather on my shoe is feather soft and you can smell it. Thick leather cuts and leather engraving...
Embarrassing press conference. Tinker will eat those "I didnt have time" excuses. Its a damn shame what happened to this brand. When money is the motivation life, art and soul is usually absent and this model repesents that. Ugly colorway. Generic design. Uninspired creator.
JB is on its last...
JB needs a overhaul. If I was Michael Jordan I would shut down this line for a complete calendar year to rebuild and reorganize the brand. When JB releases literal crap like this to the public they are insulting the logic and intelligence of consumers. This brand is out of ideas and creativity...
