I know fam but seriously what happened with molds and quality materials that required the increase in price? Has it been like they proclaimed or is remastered just nike air slapped on the shoe now?black & cement III's wit N/A just dropped b.
Bruh... all the "Remastered" joints sittin and hittin the outlets huh?"Remastered"
Whats the addy... i would love 2 hear what they have 2 say!I guess, good question, email JB
Its just marketing bro. Breathe.The fact they even had to come out with a "Remastered" campaign just admits fault. When we buy a Jordan shoe for say 200 dollars were essentially buying a 80 dollar sneaker with a 120 dollar name brand mark up. To me the whole Remastered idea is just a big middle finger to the consumers.
"Hey we know weve been releasing a poor product with massive profit margins so were gonna fix it by launching this bogus ad campaign and charging you more money"
What even happened to the Remastered movement anyways? Has anyone even heard anything about it since 2015?
Just a way for Jordan to save face when the consumers actually started to get a grip. Now were all just back to buying Jordans no matter what the cost is. Im no better than anyone else here, I still pick up a couple Jordans a year but as every year passes I feel worse giving JB my money. Thats one of the reasons I hate the resell market so much. Jordan sells a $80 sneak for $200, then Billy and his bots eat them up and now your paying $400 for the same product.
The sneakerhead community is so backwards as it is. We only want it if its limited but then we complain when we cant get our hands on them. If a sneaker doesnt sell out instantly than its no longer sought after. Take these OVO 8s that just came out, threads got a million views, dudes going crazy for the sneaker, then everyone gets a pair, price drops and so does their lust for the kick.
Dudes dont even wear their stuff these days either, on here complaining about leather and stitching on a sneaker theyll never even put on their feet. They just want the perfect pair for when they sell it on the aftermarket.If you actually plan on wearing your pair a small glue stain or stitch isnt going to kill your vibe. People think theyre stunting because they copped a kick for double retail just so they can take a pic here and there and get likes on a message board or social media.
Just a whole bunch of collectors and resellers these days and less and less "sneakerheads".

Well if they are gonna drop all the bombs in the next 2 years then cash out, I'm gonna have an expensive two years. The flagship shoe just doesn't move like they used to. I'm still trying to figure out their angle on the 33 and so on. They aren't terrible, buts its just not the same. Really though, MJ not leaving this behind imo. Why would he. There are too many people doing the work for him. Too many of us that keep coming back. Will it fade? Maybe. Right now I think they are trying to take their spot back from Adidas. If they all planned on leaving the business in the next 2, they wouldn't be trying so hard right now.As far as the main question goes...
I think the remastered campaign will last until 2020 after all the original classics have retroed.
Though it's hard to say they care as much about getting things right in 2018 than they did in 2015 when I look at the bc3s. Still a far cry from the dark ages though.
Then in 2020, when the Brand's value is artificially high due to them emptying out the vault for the past 5 years, they will sell the company to the highest bidder, cash out and retire. Mark, MJ, Tinker, all of em.
