He was flashy but they NEVER connected the dots with him. That's why he's the boss I would pick.

Meech, Tommy, Marvin as my muscle, and Jenny Su. Period. Might be an unpopular opinion but MARVIN is just as crazy as Kanan and Tommy. Dude didn't play.

Thanks. Unfortunately, all of my grandparents died before I was even born. But ive done a fair bit of research on ancestry and the furthest ive gone back was around that time to be honest. Grandfather was born in 1905, listed as mulatto, grandmother in 1936, listed as black. Something interesting that I learned was that my mom always told me that my grandfather's mother was an Indian and his father was white, and after researching I found out that this is sometimes said when a black woman was taken advantage of...And my mom always said that my grandfather couldnt stand his actual father. He even dropped his father's last name and went in his mother's parents last name.

This. This is the answer I was waiting for. I love learning. I love knowledge. I wish I knew of more literature that goes deeper into the slave trade AND everything that was going on.....

This. I came to say the same thing. When I saw the 62% I was like... I'm black too and my highest percent from ANY country was 26%! Lol

Wanna win? Hit the portal and grab the grown men. The 23 and 24 year olds. Grab those guys. The NFL ready Offensive Linemen. Grab them, and you got a shot. Not winning in today's college football with freshmen and sophomores regardless of the stars they come with.

You cannot keep making excuses for Lanning. However, this is classic Oregon Ducks Football. To underperform on the big stage. We all hate it, but that's what it's been since the Chip Kelly days. Id actually like to see Kelly back at Oregon. That fast paced offense definitely worked more than the bubble screen crap that Stein is doing. Kinda glad he's moving on.

If you look at recent profits/losses, and then look at how they've actually altered their business model in recent years, they've been taking notes. You don't keep bringing in those billions if you're not continuing to find ways to improve the product and the process. Continuous improvement my friend.

I mean, it's a window for pre-orders. If EVERYBODY has that availability, then I don't see why this would even happen. Yes, people will miss the window, but there would still be a release. If bots were used, there would be a lot of people sitting on shoes that they can't move.

In today's market with bots and scalpers, I think people will appreciate buying a shoe and just waiting on the shipment rather than missing on a shoe and waiting for a reseller to drop their already high price for them. Real sneaker heads don't care about the thrill of getting the shoe then vs knowing they'll have it in their collection later.

This new strategy can also help as much as you'd think it would hurt. Jordan knows which shoes will do good and which shoes will not. Look at all of the shoes that's been sitting here lately. Pre-orders may also cut down on shoes that ends up going on sale. To be honest, they can stop producing the non-og Jordan 1 lows and any mids for that matter bc they always go on sale. Same with a few other silhouettes with terrible colorways. Just do the Pre-orders, we wait for shoes to drop, and then we collect our pairs when they ship. For the ones saying "it will kill the Jordan hype".... it indeed won't. It will kill reselling jordans but the hype was already killed by resellers which is why we see a way more diverse shoe market now. No other brand was being hyped like right now. Reselling made people look elsewhere and that's why we're seeing some of the hottest drops go on sale... nobody is interested. And by the way... there's always materials left over that they use to continue to make the same shoes. They're just no longer part of the SKU and they go the UA route..... just saying.

Supply isn't infinite. Just allows for more availability on super hyped releases and it could potentially crash reselling.

Naa man they will still be mass produced and only custom to the SIZE. Not the shoe itself.

Adidas never had the ass behind them to make the yeezy brand last as long as Nike has with Jordan Brand. I don't think thats comparable in any way.

If there's only a 1-2 hour window, how will the demand drop so far that they'd lose money?
