2007 - Whole Lot Of @#%$ Has Changed.

yea its called hypebeasts will be filling those spaces. right now jb is close to its peak hype with 2007 being its peak. if you dont think jb will fall off after that similar to the sb hype where they release new sbs ever week in wack colors then jb has pretty much brainwashed your diluted thinking already. hypebeasts are the only ones that would believe jb has a bright future the way theyre headed right now.

A boycott? You guys aren't getting anywhere with that.

Hype > boycott

All this talk about Jordan Brand being over are just rumors. No disrespect to BabyJ but he is just a messenger and I am sure he is told exactly what to post here.

Look at Nike's consolidated financial statements for the 2006 fiscal year, ended May 31, 2006.

Their first mistake was abolishing "Nike Air" on the back of those shoes that were born with/from it. Their second mistake is thinking that Team Jordans are the way to go. Their third mistake is killing the Retro craze.

JB, Gentry, whoever may read this: ALL you have to do to keep us NTers and loyal customers in it for the long haul is STEP UP YOUR QUALITY and GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE with your NECESSITY to place a JUMPMAN in a place where the NIKE AIR LOGO belongs.


I had this all thought out and typed and it was an incredibly long read, but the backspace button took me back a page and when I came back everything was gone. I was heated and none of this really matters now, BUT.....Above is a small portion of an immense section of me RIPPING JB. I'm kinda glad I didn't get to post it. I might be flamed

I think its kinda funny that some don't believe Jordans can fall off.

The moment they decided to give up that solid image and risk longevity to become a trendy, hypebeast feeding company, I knew that their demise has been expedited. They are truly cashing in now, but when the next thing comes along, will the fanbase have lost all interest? I truly believe that there will be another sig line that can truly challenge AJ's, especially with MJ long gone.

AI's line could've done some damage, but their designs were sorely lacking.

 

^^ i like that idea sunDOOBIE, we need to get meth to put our thoughs and opinions into some well written paragraphs and attach a petition to it.

Word...

I'm down for making a change in the way JB is running things. I am really starting to see a collaspe of an empire in the next year or two. Honestly, MJ has been too much of an cultural icon and inspiration for me. I really don't want JB to tarnish his legacy due to temporary fashion.

....yeah right​

some people are just completely slow. i mean do you really need an explanation as to why jb sales are doing so well right now and probably in 2007 as well? i mean its like people wondering how sbs could fall off in 2004 when sbs and dunks in general were at its peak.

gentry is @#%$ up

 

it sucks for people like me, who've been waiting all of their lives to get those jordans. i mean, i grew up in a single-parent home since i was 7 (my father passed away). it was tough. my mom doesn't make nearly enough, but through God's help...we survive. I grew up with Michael Jordan being my favorite basketball player. i watched him win 6 titles and i used to write "air jordans" and draw a stick figure on my bobo's...cuz i could NEVER afford those jays i wanted.

now, with the news of a whole lot more retro+ crap coming out, i may never be able to cop them in my life (at least without having to put a second mortgage on my house! especially those damn 11's GRRRRR >: )

i'm down with writing letters to the nike heads and signing a petition...

and if this crap is true, i'm moving on to lebrons...

i love MJ, but damn...Gentry's effin' up...
i wonder what jordan has to say about all of this?

Damn man I hope you guys are more passionate about other things in life then just sneakers. I love them Jordans as well but Damn you guys are alittle weird I mean Like one guy said it's a business, Stop getting mad at gentry and get mad at Nike in general. I never heard of Jordan Brand having their own factory to produce sneakers. So if Jordans have bad quality so does other Nikes. Also if you want certain sneakers to be released stop talking about gentry this and gentry that. talk about the Main man MICHAEAL JORDAn i mean last time I check he was the man in charge.

 

^^^ I understand what you're saying, but, think about it this way. If you bought concert tickets to your favorite group/band, wouldn't you expect an awesome show? Now, if you went to that show and just saw people doing a half-assed job, wouldn't you get a little angry? You paid for an awesome show, not some mediocre act.

 

Exit Jordan Enter LeBron

 

JB doesnt know that for every jordan release we niketalkers campout/line up for a shoe and are risking our lives in some way. Come on sleeping outside for the night for a pair of SHOES thats risky but JB doesnt recognize this and gives us crap like this.

You dont know any second sum1 could just break out a gun for a pair of shoes, we've witnessed that happen many times.

Just by lining up or camping out something could happen. But we all know JB doesnt give 2 @#%$ and would rather take the money over a dead body anyday

@#%$ JB after the 3s im done

 

....just release the Bordeauxs....waits patiently for the Bordeauxs...

 

Baby J
Forward this to the people in charge. Why worry about 11's releasing when JB is falling. Like everyone else stated "F Gentry".

 

i just dont inderstand JB's logic. they KNOW we want NIKE AIR, but keep acting like if they do it, sales are gonna plummet or sales wouldn't be as good.

they say they are trying to promote the brand as being on its own. why?

does it bother ANYONE here that they are with NIKE?

Is ANYONE here buying LESS because they are with NIKE?

IS THERE ANYONE THAT WOULD BUY LESS IF THE SHOES HAD NIKE AIR?

Do they think that the average consumer wouldn't buy JB products because they are apart of NIKE?

did the 99-01 retroes not sell with NIKE AIR?

it doesn't make any sense. im sure if someone did a random survey about the best athletic sneaker brand, Nike would win.

i know there are atleast 1,000 people that are thinking the way im thinking.

07 blk/silver 5s. no NIKE AIR id buy 1-2 MAX, NIKE AIR id buy minimum 4-5. multiplied by 1000, that raises sales from 1-2 thousand pairs to 4 or 5 thousand. at $135, thats $135,000 to $675,000 dollars. all because of a simple logo that belongs there in the firest place.

Is there ANYONE here that would make complaints to a retro with NIKE AIR? (not including those who just dropped bread on them, or who dont want everyone having something they have)

????????

Pretty much Rock Deep...

And I asked him specifically at the event in front of everyone, "What are you doing to combat fakes and what can you explain regarding the fake III advertisement and fake black IV shirt at finishline?"

He then pretty much gave an embarassed run-around answer.

You should sticky your "what will you do when..." thread so more heads can read some thoughts...and if JB thinks the non-performance team line and limited performance game shoe that will NEVER be worn on court is the way to go...well....enjoy a 1985-2010 career.

 

the end is definately near and everybody can c that, but y do they have to go and mess up the classics that everybody wants one last shot at
