How much does NT affect JB?

[blee23]

I was just thinking about how when the initial news of the CDPs broke there was a ton of speculation about the XI/XII pack. The overwhelming response on herewas that a white/red XII & Space Jam pack would be insane. Now less than a year later JB is gonna drop both shoes independently. This makes me think theyget a feel for the markets demand from NT, what do ya'll think?

 

[retrosniper]

I'm sure somebody browses the boards and forums, but as far as actual effect on their marketing or any aspect regarding price, color, RD, tier release

NT affects NIke/Brand Jordan less than one percent IMHO

/thread

 

[jordanfan04]

I would like to think it does, but quality still sucks and the True Blue III's still haven't hit the states, so I don't know.

 

[dr813]

I don't think so cuz I think a lot of people outside of NT wanted the space Jams and the white/redXII to release.

 

[sneakerfan93]

I highly doubt NT affects Jordan Brand at all

no doubt. every thread on here is filled with quality complaints and they haven't fixed that yet.

 

[airedweezy]

I think it only effects them when they
Need money.they will wit and release what they know
What will sell out when they need it to.that's my 2cents

 

[nikeaircobraben]

Not much at all since they don't give us the quality, retros or prices that most want

Using Real Leather would increase Cost, Shrink Profits, and upset Investors. They will not do it no matter how much we complain. I know its sad, I hate it,but thats life in business. However, I believe they take into consideration alot of what NT wants. The people outside of NT may not be collectors, but stillhave the same taste and desires as most of the people on NT. Why not log on here for free and get ideas of what many people are thinking. Nike and JB wouldbe stupid not to.

 

[lysolflow]

not to be a bandwagon jumper... or tryin to hull you...

but all the complaining and threads and stuff in here falls upon the deaf ears of each other. no one outside of niketalk cares what niketalk thinks... its ashame that everyone knows it too, and yet continue to complain... smh...

if i had to put a number on it... i'd say .075%... lol....

white/red xii had a chance for the CDP but of course taxis took the spot.

spacejams never had a chance for that pack as most the CDP packs consisted of BULL colorways, so it made plenty sense for the black/red colorway to go intothat pack. most plenty wanted the pack that u stated but that wasnt gnna happen not by a long shot.

on another note me and MARCSJ08 discussed that since taxis were in the CDP u will see the white/red xii's in 09, while princejordan confirmed since january08 u will see spacejam xi's either late 09/ early 2010.

An extremelly passionate group of shoeheads giving their free opinions?

You best BELIEVE JB at least reads what we say. Whether they actually take it to heart is a different matter.

Almost everyone on here hates fusions, yet the proliferate the market with fusions. They make what sells, period.

 

[mst9023]

they proabibly read them but the only time there going to start taking our opinions seriously is when there sales start to drop

 

[jerseycityboy201]

i doubt we affect them

 

[chinaurge]

According to JB designer D'Wayne Edwards in an interview, NT is a b#tchfest full of complainers.

 

[khadafi252]

well, from good friends who work on-campus, it is CONFIRMED that JB and nike do browse NT and other message boards/blogs. our feedback does matter to them. on a side note nike employees, LOSS PREVENTION browses this site too.

 

[Magic33]

I wish it did, but from what I see it doesn't.

Because you get flu games and XI's in nubuck

As much as we complain I don't see any results.

 

[ny giants 11]

^ Loss Prevention lol

Imagine getting a PM = "Where did you get these samples from? We need them back" hahaha

I agree with this

 

[aphexacid]

Are you kidding? NT has no effect on Jordan Brand. the Jams, and the white red 12 are about due for a retro, so thats that.

we're always complaining about quality, and things they screw up. they dont care obviously, because they keep doing what theyre doing.

we're always saying, i wish they would rerelease xxxx shoe. never happens. they do it when THEY feel they need to.

 

[jumpersgalore]

i think some JB rep checks forums every now and then. they might not do things right away but they know what people are saying outside to get a feel on whatthey should do. just my opinion

People buy Fusions so I can't fault them with that. It's still a business.
I see more Fusions than anything these days.
