Not "jack" but rather "tribute"...
Right, like Gourmet paid "tribute" to the Jordan VII and XI.
Jordan brand is completely lacking internal direction right now... seemingly EVERYTHING is trend driven. This isn't even an attempt to copy classic albumcovers, it's an attempt to emulate streetwear brands that copy classic album covers.
What does this brand even stand for? Quality inspired by the greatest player ever? Nah, nowadays it's "Jordan Brand: everything 40 year olds suspectthat 15 year olds think is cool."
What's truly hilarious in all of this is that the average Jordan fan in 2009 is as familiar with these albums as they are with MJ's career as a Bull.
That said, after the fakes printed on a t-shirt and the recalled dead serious hoodie, nothing they do in the lifestyle apparel branch surprises me anymore. Ishould just thank my lucky stars the people running the streetwear brands they're biting aren't any younger, otherwise we'd be looking at 50 centalbum covers instead.
