why? I hate what JB is doing and that's why the last Jordan I bought was in 05. So is what you're saying is the "older" generation who knows what JB is doing still buys Jordans? Well of course some do, but I think a lot of the older generation have moved on from the line.Originally Posted by CharmCityKid
we're old now and JB already "has" us. so naturally they wanna "get" the newer generations. they know they can't design shoes anymore. jumpmans are just filler. they know all they have is retros. so they're obviously gonna stick with what they KNOW will sell. of course certain retros may NEVER retro bc that is one way to keep the older generations still interested in hopes of that one model/colorway that they never retroed will drop at some point.
i'm already hip to their tactics which is why i fell back so hard. i think most know the drill, but nike has it to where most of us don't care. we'll throw money at them no matter what. isn't it obvious they've figured this out??
i agree with OP tho.
Remember the main consumer of Jordans are not collectors/ sneaker heads, instead they are people who DON'T know what's up with JB and that is the reason why JB has been able to get away with what they've been doing lately, also quality wise as well. They have discovered that this market is exploitable and they are taking full advantage. Now, how long will they be able to do this and release the same old crap? I don't know, but I think they won't be around much longer, I'll give them maybe until 2015 or 2016 before they finally topple and when that day comes, I won't be sad, I'll sit back and just laugh because they will have had it coming since they turned their back on the market that cared and instead went for the profit in the exploitable market.
