3's,4's,5's or 6's I'm not looking to start the debate on Nike Air vs. Jumpman... But it dawned on me, that the retro 2's have NIKE written across the back and they were a retro from 2004... even the Charity 2's which are new say NIKE Why is it OK to associate the 2's with nike but not the 3, 4, 5 or 6's ? If they changed the back of the 2's to a little Jumpman... That would be disgraceful... Just like the 3-6's... but it would make sense. OG's 94's 04's This thread is stupid Need Videogames?
I was thinking that but then again look at the upcoming charity shoes and notice its a jumpman and not a nike sign www.marqueesole.com/php/c....php?id=61
Oh.... snap... I though it was still NIKE... My bad... They killed the 2 as well... DAMN! This thread is stupidNeed Videogames?
Wild speculation: Wasn't some of the original tooling for the 2 lost or damaged? Maybe the creation of new tooling for the 04 Retro's meant that they didn't have resources available to retool the back so that the Nike logo was replaced with a Jumpman. Air Jordan Retro: You can't go back.
Say what you will but I really like the jumpman on the back of those IIs. It's small and it has a nice pop.
Ace in the hole, the only thing to get me back to buying J's at retail. Right now I just wait for them to show up at outlets. NIKE AIR
I like that lil jumpman on the back of the charity 2's. The reason JB does put NIKE AIR on the back anymore is because they dont wanna pay Nike for the right to use NIKE AIR. MIAMI HEAT "A sneakerhead could buy sneakers from sun up to sun down and his/her collection may never be complete".
thanx god i copped that 04 retro ii's now that nike sign is a classic I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant-KOBE
The Jumpman on the charity II's goes to show that JB will shamelessly replace Nike/Nike Air whenever possible just to push their own pathetic "brand". I wonder what the II's in the II/XXI package will have on the back. If it's a Jumpman, keep that garbage.
^^ Not trying to get on you too hard here but this is brought up about every 6 months and always gets shot down without anyone in the know providing actual proof that JB has to pay Nike to use their logo. Everyone knows that JB used the sole off of dunks for the OLNL package to save money. But then if your right they turned around and also paid Nike for rights to use their name also? It makes no sense at all. NIKE AIR
just bring back nike air 2 name brands on a shoe is always better than 1 "SPOTTIN FAKE JORDANS NO LONGER A HABIT BUT A JOB" "we are the legit check, no need to legit check, what we legit check, because we legit check the legit check ya dig" lol sound like juelz ps aim jdhillon23
You kids care way too much about the back of a sneaker. TEAM AM FAM [email protected]/AIM illphillip 1st EDITION HALLOWEEN AF1 Sz 9.5 FOR SALE $175 GUARANTEED DELIVERY BY OCT. 31
^ Eh why don't you go buy some keds and paint a jumpman on it if that's the way you look at it. NIKE AIR
3thaman, It's all good buddy, its all good. Lets agree to disagree. Relax man, its not that serious MIAMI HEAT "A sneakerhead could buy sneakers from sun up to sun down and his/her collection may never be complete".
^ , As you can tell anytime NIKE AIR is brought up in this forum I get pretty heated. I'd like to see proof that I'm wrong though, and If I am I'll gladly admit it. But I doubt I am. NIKE AIR
Well idk the reason(s) why it's not there...But I would like to see it again on a retro. But if you were in jb's shoes, Why wouldn't you want your logo to be on your shoe...
23's will have NIKE AIR Just because Im LOW KEY doesn't mean I have no HEAT!!! I will buy 1000 cd's for Kanye West
Just some insider info about the charity version. The Jumpman was placed on the heel of THAT version because the Jordan branding on the tongue was removed to make way for the personalization for the child who worked on it. So, to still have the Jordan branding on the upper, it made sense to place it were there was already branding. . . .and its been this way forever. . . [email protected]
