Jordan releases and hoards of people fighting tooth and nail to get a pair of the latest J's have become synonymous. The resale prices are through the roof and people are resorting to violence to get their hands on a pair of $170 sneakers. This is nothing new though.
Representatives of the Jordan Brand spoke with the Daily News on the issue of violence surrounding the Air Jordan releases. They said;
"Consumer safety is of paramount important to us. We continue to work with our retail partners to share best practices and refine our launch process to improve the buying experience for our consumers. We encourage people wishing to purchase our products to do so in a respectful manner."
Whatever is to be done, one thing is for certain, this is not Michael Jordan's problem. There isn't anything MJ can do, personally, to stop people from wanting his sneakers. The shoes are limited, and the demand is high, which will lead people to resort to barbaric tactics in order to get what they want. The majority of sneakerheads don't lash out on release days, but the select few that do are going to continue to do so, regardless of what MJ has to say.

Yes, he can but he doesn't give a ? though.
Lower the cost of the shoe and create more product for his consumers. -
There is only one thing MJ can do to stop (almost all) deaths related to his shoes...stop selling them. That's it. Short of that, what do we want the ? to do? And why we acting like ? ain't dying over Yeezy's, Foams, etc?
-
No. I doubt most of them even really give a ? about him and just the shoe cause it looks cool.
-
Plus, its a lot of ? . MJ dont give a ? about ? .
-
Hell no Jordan can't stop the buffoonery that goes on when buying Mike's, he could lower the prices and ? 's will still act an ass

Also, and this may only mean ? to people of a certain age from a certain place who remember this ? , but I never heard anyone taking Starter to task for continuing to sell those jackets back in the day. I dunno what city y'all ? from, but back in the day in Atlanta, mad ? was getting popped over those stared jackets back when. -
Consumerism is the problem here. Jordan is a brand name but the product is just shoes, jut fckin shoes man. They only have the significance you give them.
I used to blame MJ but not anymore. I remember things like "Tickle me Elmo" getting people trampled in the 90s. I still don't support dude though. -
I guess if MJ was playing violence in game 6 and he had the flu...
-
Tickle me Elmo had suburban moms about that life.

Word, ends all this dumb ? . -
Real talk I'll be mad if I was killed over some patent leather material.

Jordan don't give a ? , it's not his fault anyway. ? babies need to ? each other off. Their ? parents failed them. They were too busy at the disco ball smoking rocks to care about their kids. Generation lost, I'm a product of it. They don't give a ? about us.
-
Until they increase the amount of shoes released ? are going to bleed blood for them ? ..
If the Jordan brand really cared this would have been addressed a long time ago ... -

Shearling coats and al wissam jackets had ? killing each other here about 10 years ago. Then it was Cartier frames after that.

Stupid ass savages need to learn how to act civilized or find another way to acquire the shoes. Otherwise, better luck next time. Stop trying to shift blame for the actions of idiot consumers.
