The thing that has Nike messed up now is that a lot of people are finally realizing their most popular shoes aren’t comfortable.

I was a die hard until I bought my first pair of Brooks. Now I don’t wear Nikes as everyday kicks anymore. I only wear them when a fit I have matches up perfect with the shoe. Outside of that I’m wearing Brooks, ASICS, or New Balance as walk arounds.
Get some fukking Hokas, if you think Brooks are comfortable then you'll fall in love with Hoka. I was working double shifts in Hokas like it was NOTHING !!

Folk gotta realize even the 13s (the last good Jordan) are almost 30 years old at this point. Of course they are starting to trend out it's natural.

The worst thing they ever did was not just giving Kanye the keys for a little while.
He was their bridge to modern trends and they let him walk right to the opps. So many other brands are still eating off his design language.

Nike is straight though they are more of a clothing company these days anyway.

That’s not a good indicator. Things change. They may be hot next year.
people use to laugh at Crocs a decade ago, now everyone wears them.
Bruh Reebok been trying to revive themselves for years ....Adidas use to own them but sold them off.....their shoes ain't been hot in a long time....true brands can make a come back but I don't see it with Reebok....

Their quality doesn’t justify their price point.

Lazy designs and no real innovation over 10-15 years

More cheap heat at the outlet, which is nice.

I saw UNC 1's, Deion's, etc for the low +30% off....Nike Free and other causal/gym shoes for like 40 bux.

Jordan's looking like GR shoes at retailers now which is good, if you still want pairs.

I'm glad the new gen ain't caring, what they like is in stock as well unless it's some sort of limited collab.

Nike Vomero 5's and Sambas can also be had on discount, vs most of the other stuff.

That was a two-part statement. I'm saying people switched to them for comfort - and continue to do so now despite them not being cheap

those shoes and their lower RRP had existed for ages - decades even - the motivation to switch to them wasn't "price". It was comfort, followed by (new found) popularity/trend

I'm glad it's over. They burnt Jordan brand out. Same Breds every other year. There's no prestige to any of the classics anymore. They jerked the 11s, 3s and 4s, 13s and lastly the 1s. It's over.


These Gammas will be my last purchase. I'm in OG sneakerhead. Had the Pearl Foamposite in the 90s when they first dropped. That's when you had to be a hustler or from a rich family to have Foams and Jays.
