Comments on: Why Does Everyone Hate Team Jordans? The 10 Best Team Jordan Shoes https://weartesters.com/why-does-everyone-hate-team-jordan-weartesters-trash-talk/ Shoe reviews, apparel reviews and more Thu, 05 Oct 2023 09:22:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: NB https://weartesters.com/why-does-everyone-hate-team-jordan-weartesters-trash-talk/#comment-559429 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 15:41:13 +0000 http://weartesters.com/?p=168013#comment-559429 Simple answer, group thinking aka hype. People have lost their ability to think for themselves. If a shoe (or anything really) doesn’t have a rep for being cool or worst has a bad rep it’s gna get trashed no matter what it looks like. If they come out with an off-white team jordan it will sell out instantly but every other team j will still be considered trashed.

Kids nowadays wear jordans for their off court appeal. They don’t realize that those shoes were made for performance uses.

I think for those aged 30’s and up who had the chance to experience the Jumpman team models and flagship models, there is minimal differences in terms of tech or performance.

Man, they really look classy. Only in that time where a team shoe can have FULL LENGTH ZOOM/AIR, CARBON FIBER PLATE AND PREMIUM LEATHER.

They don’t and shoes sit on shelves. The hatred is earned, and the brand is doing nothing to fix it.

I know they’re legit and I want them to be the shoe I remembered. But “they featured the same tech and materials as the signature” is unfortunately not true with many of the retros. What once was real carbon fiber is now cheap TPU plastic. What once was zoom air is now a dual density foam setup. What once was premium buttery soft leather is now Payless pleather. They’re doing that AND have the ball$ to charge $140+? Why should I have respect for the product when Jordan brand doesn’t? Some Team J retros have been OK but none of them have been 100% done correctly. Jordan brand is incredibly inconsistent.

At some point though, a lot of the designs just weren’t aesthetically pleasing. I think now since there’s no direct (appealing) lineage between those first years of Team J’s and their retro versions, there’s a huge disconnect with most of the younger generation of Jordan shoe wearers that maybe didn’t see MJ, Vin Baker, Bibby, Finley, Eddie Jones, et al play. Really though, if this generation won’t even wear the *signature* Jordans higher than the 14 (supposedly because MJ played in them), nothing will convince them that a Jumpman Pro or Pro Quick is cool. Yet they’ll wear a Spiz’ike or Dub Zero, which I personally just don’t understand at all.

Now, we just received the new Ultra Fly and think it might turn the corner for Jordan. We will see.
