Oooh baby, sweet summer color on these. Nike who?
Knowing Nike they'd do this and jack up the price on their shoes even more. Why pay more for shoes if you're not even getting a friggin box?
If these released today, I'd have one of the Celtics pairs. Without question.
They're ugly. Passy pass pass.
At least the price won't make you broke...assuming you aren't buying other shoes next month...
@sprungy wrong, they keep releasing because Nike is about profits and economic viability. If they keep releasing shoes that people recognize they can increase their profit margin to a place where they want it to be. Same reason for the ridiculous amount of Jordan retros every year. That is the only reason for the shoe to release in the same color for three or four years straight. It's the most recognizable from the line and from peoples childhoods. The only history Nike cares about is the one where their products worked and sold, so those are the products they sell again and again. It has nothing to do with Bo Jackson or Michael Jordan at all anymore. The original success of the products in the first place does, because Nike goes back and they decide what they can re-use again to get to their magic number they're trying to reach. In this case it's 15 billion dollars a year by the year 2015 by the way.
@sprungy I'm probably older than you, so don't pretend you can "school" me on who Bo Jackson was, buddy. You're wrong. The marketing people who came up with the "Bo knows" campaign would have more to do with that than Bo himself. Do you know anything about how endorsements work? This is the third or fourth time they've released the exact same shoe in the last handful of years. I know this because I had the first retro they did of this exact shoe in the most recent sequence of retros. The shoes suck anyway compared to the updated version they made in 2010. Nike doesn't even make a product now that can compare to the SC 2010. If Nike wasn't making money with their other products then how did they have enough cash to sign Jordan in the first place? Answer me that since you're so smart. Was your "Know your history." line supposed to make me feel stupid? 'cause I feel like I'm a lot smarter than you right now. Next time you wanna make someone look like they're stupid, make sure they aren't actually smarter than you are. I probably know more about Nike than you know about anything.
Trainer SCs again? The shoe isn't that great to be honest. Why do these keep coming back? Try something else, Nike.
The answer is no, 'cause my favorite Mike Judge cartoon is King of The Hill.
Yeah, these are nice. I'd buy 'em. Vans is doing great things this year.
@AKPifstars it's all about profits. I don't think they make a lot by including pricier packaging.
The box doesn't add a whole lot. But I agree. For the price hike they've been doing on the foams all foams should come with a special box like this. People are getting ROBBED in the game today.
I'd choose the blue pair. Questions are some of the best shoes Reebok makes.
This is just in poor taste. Not cool at all.
The Jordan 1 comes in so many awesome colors. But this is my favorite.
Nothin wrong with these.
Foamposite pros are nice.
A dinosaur riding a skateboard? Who wouldn't want that shoe?
@arsonist21 thanks for proving my point. You're clearly an intelligent individual, and a real benefit to have around. Also, I hope you understand the concept of sarcasm, because I'm laying it on pretty thick.
