Each and every year people get older, some grow up, others don't...I'm 26 years old and have been wearing Jordans since 1992. As much as I love the Jordan line I'm not going to prioritize my life around the teeny bopper inspired "chase" for too much longer...Very much looks like this will be my final year in this "chase" game because apparently the "chase" is more important than the value and business of it's true established consumers.
Oh, I agree. I know I don't matter in the big picture, but my JB purchases have been reduced to a 3rd of what it used to be and its steadilydecreasing. I ain't chasing ****. JB is telling its consumers that they're corny.
And he also saying these things wearing a pair of titaniums.

I feel the same way that you do, but you have to understand that G doesn't care about you and I, or any other customers that suppported during the first generation. JB knows that we have families, jobs, and other priorities that keep us from throwing money at every Jordan release even if they were readily available. The youngsters with no bills and access to their parent's pockets are the customers that JB wants and is catering to. They are the ones that keep the JB hypetrain moving and the money coming in truckloads. That's why 90% appeal to the youngs, while 10% of the releases are geared towards us.
The limited crap is frustrating, but in todays market it is necessary to drive sales from JB's business standpoint. In the OG days, all we had to do is see MJ in a pair of Jordans and it was an instant connection, and a "I must have it" desire for that pair of shoes. Those days are gone, and JB has chosen to exploit the age old rules of supply & demand to keep shoes flying off shelves. And the free press that they are getting through local news crews doing stories on campouts and line ups is the best type of free promotion that JB's had since the OG Air Jordan I banning.
Bottom line is JB is a business and they are catering to the customers that are "loyal" them...not us.
Please dont re-post it man....Thanks. PO
