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

Nobody will buy the ugly team J's. They looked good when they first came out many years ago, but as of lately they look horrible. It would not be a surprise to me if Gentry was working with another shoe company or person and was tryin to kill of his top competitor, his own company JB..........

 

thanks for the info....yup...

[/url] ​

 

This said it best:

 

WOOHOO... I wont see my beloved XI's slaughtered in such ways as the XIV's and the IVs have been... Had some good times JB and if what is stated is true... Then it was a good run.

 

now people are starting to see what a lot of us have seen for quite some time. this news shouldn't be a surprise. keep the negativity up folks....i loves it.

even if gentry is bs'ing about this news, then he's still a tard for bs'ing. go put on some more mascara and dress up like a queen gentry. you know you want to.....

this is sad...its sad it had to come to this, JB is losing its momentum n Gentry reminds me of Bush and the oil crisis...he's scrambling trying to find new ideas to get more money instead of just listening to the consumers and preserving the legacy that is Air Jordans...i'll admit, i like some of the new colors and dont mind some of the minor tweaks because thats my only choice, im only 17 and i cant say i have my OG Grapes in the stash or my Concord XI's that i've wanted since i was little kid so i have to settle for this bgrade low quality crap because its my only option...but if the brand keeps heading in this direction, they're gonna lose one more loyal customer

A complete joke. Is Gentry really that high up in JB that he can constantly change his mind about things and come up with these horrific ideas with no consequences?

 

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>1st off Gentry is desperate. He can see the end of the Signature Air Jordan Line ahead of him and it makes him nervous. Where do they go from here ?<hr></blockquote>


I saw it coming.

Military IV may be the final Jordans I buy. MAYBE I'll get a pair of V at some point (23 Reds or Black/Silver next year) but this is the final death rattle. It's like baseball cards.

First off, let me apologize for my outburst earlier...had no idea how bad it was, even though I normally cuss on the regular! I really didn't have time to plan out a thoughtful response, since I'm at work and they actually expect me to do it.

In short, I'm just really disappointed over the entire outlook...it just makes me upset that Gentry has decided to throw in the towel, and the whole outlook is beyond bleak. Also it just hurts to see the things we've asked for as consumers get completely ignored and not even be focused on.

I don't know...maybe I put too much faith in them, and expected them to make a change for the better, or thought that they actually listened to people on here about what the public wants. Maybe I'm just gettin older, and people such as myself are no longer their target audience. Who knows?

First of all, thanks for the info BabyJ. Hopefully this will open up the eyes of some of you and take notice that Jordan Brand does not care about their loyal consumers. For Jordan Brand to acknowledge their quality issues and choose not to fix that but still raise the price is laughable. If they do not turn the company around and go back to the formula they used to put Jordan Brand on top, I will not be purchasing anymore retros or signature shoes. I passed up on the IV's and will have no problem passing on the White/Rd/Blk V's (one of my grails) if the quality issue and the nike sign is not top priority to them. Team shoes were never in my radar (except for a couple) so I don't have to worry about that.

that was directed at jumpman.

here is my take on this, and its always pretty much been like this... they give us all the crap that they are giving us basically so then can sell the same shoe twice... im guessing in the future they will re-release these shoes again with the addition of the nike air symbol on the back and voila, tons of more sells.

i could be wrong but thats what i would do if i were in charge. and if thats the case all these sjpes with the jumpman on it make perfect sense.

What happened to the good 'ol retro days, i.e. '99 - '01.

Gentry's ideas have put JB in this situation, you can't release 10 colorways of the exact same model plus we all know about the quality. It's just upsetting that this guy is running JB, #1, the quality issues should be addressed far before any thought of future releases. That should turn JB around.
#2, if there are really JB employee's on here, taking our ideas into consideration, it sure doesn't show.

I like the idea of bringing back the OG feel, with clothing, and shoes.
Just keep it simple JB.
