we all heard the stories. kids getting shot for jordans. riots at jordan releases. employees stealing jordans from their stores to sell on ebay. etc.
the markup resell value on the recent "DMP" release is more than 250%. worldwide, jordan brand only produced 11,000 pairs, a pathetic ammount. there were numerous riots, but thankfully no deaths. is jordan brand wrong for producing such a limited ammount of their product and allowing this to happen? or is it the consumers fault for buying into this hype? also, is jordan brand fiscally irresponsible? debate! |

It's the people's fault. They chose to behave that way. They're greedy, PICKY, ignorant, childish, and have no respect. They don’t control themselves from what they want. Why would it be Jordan’s fault?
There are other things that people can buy plus it’s cheaper! |

QUOTE(Spiritual Winged Aura @ Feb 17 2006, 6:28 PM)  Why would it be Jordan’s fault? materialism is not the only reason people buy these. some people buy for financial gain (reselling) and some buy as an investment (collecting). jordan brand is exploiting the consumer by producing such a small amount that some people are so desperate for a pair that they will stop at nothing to get one. jordan brand is fully aware of this and does nothing to prevent this. i think that is wrong.. |
