For the first week, Nick from the SC Team and I chopped it up…check it out! Peace and hairgrease!
What do you think about the current state of Jordan Brand?
I think that the current state of JB is turning a corner and headed in the right direction. With Mark Smith at the helm as Head of Creative Global Design,I've got a really good feeling about JB's future. Recently I chopped it up with the guys on Smitty's team over lunch here in LA, and shared mythoughts with them over just about, verbatim, these same questions. As far as what I'm feelin', I like the things dropping that tell a story, like the60+ and the upcoming flu game XII. MJ's legacy is, I believe, in the stories of his many accomplishments and like New York, dude has 8 million stories.
What have you liked from them and what are you excited about that's upcoming?
The 60+ is a good look, and adaptable to many colorways. Adam Parkinson, head of lifestyle apparel, and I talked about introducing Flight themed gear, WWIIstyled bomber jackets, bags, boots, etc., crafted with high end, superb quality, luxury materials. I think they're headed in the right direction as wellwith some really hot Lifestyle gear starting this fall and winter. Among other things, a Spiz'ike boot, which is fire.
Has there been anything lately that's disappointed you?
As for disappointments, I was really real with them about the one thing I am absolutely NOT feeling : Air Force 1/Jordan Fusions. Though I could go on and onabout how much I'm not feelin' 'em, I'll sum it up in one word: STOP! But overall, I think the ship is righting itself and the future is by NOmeans grim. Plus, there's a release coming up real soon that the heads are REALLY gonna dig. I cant say what it is, but I'll give up a l'ilhint…Nike Air…Nike Air…NIke Air…That's my State of the Union on JB!
