You wear J's.. I'm in Love.
Jeremy, that's what the talk is, but I'm not too sure they will be the last ones.
“If I’m around, it’s going to end at (Jordan shoe, number) 23.” Gentry conceded, stating “I said that thinking that I would be doing something else… Now that I’m here, I think that because of the legacy we created, it’s incumbent upon us to continue to set the benchmark for the industry.”
Gentry is the Business Director of Jordan brand.
The Tinker Hatfield, a designer we owe our lives to said
“It’s true that we’ve been working on a statement basketball shoe for the Jordan line, and we have a team on it. But we don’t really know (and Michael doesn’t know…) how it’s going to materialize.”
So really no one knows what is going to happen.

I worked at Nike for the past two years and my friend who is a manager there went to train at the world headquarters. He met Gentry and Tinker and they said 23 is it. That doesn't mean there won't be any more Jordans coming out. Just not 24's supposely. They are focusing on the packs that add up to 23. Also, Gentry does not hold the same position any more. I know he has another title now. The packs are cool but I will be glad if 23 is it. They flooded the market with shit quality and color retros. The color schemes were shit on some of them and Jordan apparel has really gone to shit. Their design team has no creativity whats so ever.
Yeah I dig the packs though. The 12 & 11 one is pretty nice cus the Original color 12's. I still think 24's may come out eventually. The only thing pissing me off about some J's are the colors. They're treating em like they are Dunks or something, it is pretty ridiculous. I still like wearin the OG's on retro release dates and people ask how long I waited and I'm like Original sucka ha. I feel you on the aparrel kind of. They will have something really goodl ooking then something that doesn't even belong in hand me down stores. So you work at Nike Town? I think that would be a real tight part time gig, is it like any opther retail location and easy to get hired or a little different?
Yeah, I was a really cool p/t job while it lasted. I resigned about two weeks ago. I worked at one of the 3 employee stores. Only employees, family, and friends could come in the store. We would get half off everything in the store. Plus you have access to hurleys employee website and cole hann since Nike owns both of them. I got a ton of stuff for free while working there. The only way you can get hired it to go on www.nikebiz.com and fill out a application.
