2011 are the best well balanced post-numbered Jordan to come out in terms of style and comfort, 2012s are good for ballin but they included too much gimmicks on the shoe, hopefully the 2013 are a blend of both

gimmicks, Gimmicks and MORE GIMMICKS!!
nike, masters of creating some BS backstory to tie in with the so-called "tech" (that, in reality has no function) to build some sort of emotional connection with the consumer so that we, not only want the shoes, but HAVE TO HAVE THEM.
newsflash nike, they have to at least either:
1. look good
2. perform well
-OR-
3. be limited :\

It's long since time for them to just admit numbering the sequential shoes after the year wasn't in their favor.
If true, overtime, maybe they can retroactively rename the others.

From the statement, I can assume you buy kick just to ball in...sooo if the shoe was a beast on the court, and you could get it for way under retail, like the 2012. Why wouldn't you??? I mean thats why I got them, and once I had them in hand, I loved them.

I think they were off to a good start with the 2011 design wise. Instead of trying to hit "home runs" with every shoe in the brand, just focus on design and performance and the shoe will sell its self. The history of Jordan's past keeps me excited for the coming release, the 2012 wasn't bad it just stepped back from the 2011 in my opinion.

Lets be honest here, if the shoe looks hot and have a sub $200 option, they will sell.
All JB has to do is runs some CG ads with some of Jordans greatest in game moments with him wearing the 28s. That's all the marketing they need

Well, actually in most countries they were just called Air Jordans or nicknamed after the NBA season they were released back in the days.
I remember that me and my friends always said Air Jordan 1993 for the VIII and I personally started to switch in 1995
when the Air Jordan XI were originally released for the NBA season 1995/1996.
Please be advised that Nike did not add a number on the Jordan box before the Air Jordan XII white/black-taxis.
Before they always printed AIR JORDAN on the box, that's it.
To me the Air Jordan did not cease with the XX3 but the so far, the only one I really like are the AJ 2011.
