I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS WEBSITE FOR 20 YEARS AND I’M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT… I FELT INSPIRED TO IMPROVE UPON IT AFTER BEING SO INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED BY THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE ON THE NIKE SNKRS APP TODAY. I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT SO DOES NIKE. THERE IS NO FINISH LINE.
WHILE I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH THE AIR JORDAN 3 CEMENTS, I FOR ONE AM NOT. I DO APPRECIATE ITS PLACE IN HISTORY AND RECOGNIZE THE EFFORT THAT TINKER PUT INTO THE SHOE BACK IN 1987 BUT THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THE SHOE’S DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION THAT I HAVE ALWAYS QUESTIONED BUT THIS NEW REIMAGINED PAIR OF 3’S ARE NOT AN IMPROVEMENT AS I MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED. IN FACT THEY ARE WORSE AND THE MULTIPLE PAIRS THAT I HAD ACCESS TO WERE SO BAD THAT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THEY HAD EVEN BEEN ALLOWED TO
I AM VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT I OWN BOTH THE AIR JORDAN 1 CHICAGO AND NOW THE AIR JORDAN 2 CHICAGO’S FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THANKS TO A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE. THESE SHOES REPRESENT VERY SIGNIFICANT STEPS FORWARD IN BOTH SHOE DESIGN LANGUAGE AND TECHNOLOGIES AS WELL AS IN THE MATERIALS USED AT THE TIME. I DECIDED TO POST THIS IMAGE HERE AS AN EARLY EXAMPLE OF PRODUCT DESIGN AESTHETIC THAT HAS CONTINUED TO INSPIRE ME FOR THE PAST 36 YEARS.
