I know, we in all the same threads
Like it was funny at first but now it's just repetitive af.
I'll reach out to my connect at Nike and see if she knows whether or not he's in the decision making process anymore.

Most sneaker info sites ran articles early last year saying he was moving back as executive VP for JB...Think about how many other times exec changes have been reported on in the sneaker world...Few and far between...They all knew it was a big deal because of what that move entailed...
Anyway the best guess at the time was that we’d start seeing his product decisions around the first or second quarters of 2019...No coincidence that we’re starting to see this stuff now...Trust that it’ll get far worse...

gentry is a scapegoat
stop blaming him for every ****ing issue with the brand, JB been screwing **** up for years when he was there and especially when he wasnt.

He takes it to new levels.
He did the same thing with NSW. Releasing Foams is loud colorways, pushing crap like Vac-Tech.

It may be OD but I don't even blame some cats.. Gentry was beating a dead horse for a LONG time. We are witnessing Gentry PTSD

Can I just hate in peace. Sheesh
I dunno how many times I was looking forward to a shoe, it came out butchered, and Gentry did a interview saying some nonsense. I got years of vitriol in me for dude.
I spent the mid 2000s reading NT, seeing Gentry's buffoonery, and then I was in my room like....
In all seriousness though, the people that are bringing him up seem to know his history very well.

thanks for leading me to the pics.
Still in for 2 pairs. Seems like typical Nike QC. I can't let these pics get me down. This was sophomore year of high school memories.
Did i see the NA is off centered though? Of all the things to muck up, how do you muck that easy part up??

these will be very easy to get in the EU and probably will even sit for an week or 2
I think what nobody has really mentioned about these pics is how tight this pair is laced and how its effecting some of the angles in the pics (overall shape, curve under the NA, lace wing placement etc). Go grab your favorite pair, lace them as tight as possible and tell me how they look. Youll prob find alot to complain about. That said the stitch line under and off center NA does look pretty bad.

I'll wait for a comparison review between these and the og then make a call. Will pass if as bad as the recent iv cement retro - which would be sad because I've never owned and always wanted, but I don't do trash.

Ummmm....It goes both ways man. Thats how a buisness works. 200,000 Nike employees in china. Half a billion dollars in sales IN China stores for Nike products for this quarter & China charges a 16% sales TAX rate. You think a billion dollar company can do buisness in a country without having to pay tax's or contribute to its country or kick back money to the economy? Next your gonna tell me just cause Walmart makes money & pays minimum wage they don't contribute to Americas economy. Btw, those small wages those 200,000 employees make goes back into the economy aswell. Employees have to spend that money which all gets taxed. This is how a buisness works.
These numbers are for Nike's sales in China sporting goods stores for 2016. It grows every year.
