GENTRY!!!!!!!!Really man, why does he care sooo much abou og collectors?????????? |
Lead | ||
|
I wasn't able to cop those og jordans back in the day because like a lot of you, I was too young and my mother wouldn't buy them for me because they
were "too expensive"! But ever since 3 years ago I have been copping retros and og's like they are going out of style and it pisses me off that
some of our favorite J's won't release in it's correct for like the 99 IV's with nike air on it. Why does he care soo much about og collectors
when they are not the ones feeding him anymore. We are. And he is shafting us with all of these fake looking shoes with banana shapes and busted colors. It
just really pisses me off to know that the old clientel who no longer buy his product are in control like this. Give us what we want man. That's
all.

Not really sure.......maybe because he is a collector himself. That shouldn't matter regardless of the fact that he has every air jordan in every colorway
known to man.
I guess those are the perks for working with JB.

Even if the IV had Nike Air, the shape would be wrong.
BTW the shape on the 99 IV and the OGs are TOTALLY different as well. |

Because a lot of younger kids now a days buy all these crazy banana split looking colorways and creations like every DTRT Jordan known to man (from 3s to 9.5
to spiz'ikes), and dub zeros and all the .5 shoes. Basically because it's a different demographic now. I grew up in the 90s and my first pair of
Jordans as a kid were the black/red/charcoal 7s back in 92. I didn't really get too serious about Jordans until I was in middle school when the 14s and 15s
were out. I am used to seeing og coloway retros with Nike Air on them, but I guess if you were too young to remember Nike Air being on a Jordan shoe, Gentry
doesn't care whether it's on the back of a Jordan shoe now or not he's still getting paid regardless. True, many of the OG collectors have long
since retired and the new generation of collectors are now the ones who are feeding him, but he probably doesn't even see it that way. And if he does, he
probably doesn't care because he's still getting paid. After the Jordan packs are finished. I am done buying directly from JB. Ebay and NT buy/sell for
me for all the older releases that I missed and still want.

People are still gonna buy them just like the dub zeros and the spiz'ikes. So if JB spends a few cents per shoe to make 1 thousand six rings, and all of those sell world wide in a world full of 6 billion people, JB makes their money back and then some even if they sell 500 of those 1000.

because gentry was a loser most of his adult life and was shunned by everybody. he got no respect. no woman and people clowned him for being just an odd
looking kid.
he got a job being a stock boy at nordstroms and decided sneakers were his passion since he could wear something that made people turn heads despite how awkward looking he was. despite all his embarrassing moments growing up and the painful memories of being labeled a loser. it's a power move. he weaseled his way into jordan brand and says the right thing to the right people. he makes them a lot of money because the AVERAGE person waking up at 7AM on a saturday or hitting F5 friday at midnight are 16 year old kids with little bills and no idea of what savings means. he knows instead of selling a pair for $150 he can make you spend double and even sell you a sneaker you don't want. it's brilliant, he isn't but the jedi mind trick they play on jordan collectors. you want the OG's fork up another $300-400 and get you some. gentry is a pathetic soul and i hope karma gets him because he bastardized the jordan company. i dont know whats the worst thing phil knight has ever done, allowed his son to create a rap album with the help of the bomb squad or allow gentry control over the greatest sneaker brand in the history of the world. |

Because it would give him an opportunity to associate himself with those people and then try to out do them by having things made solely for him!!

that's how marketing runs. the more you want it, the high price you would pay.
