I love how brutally honest you are with Jordan Brand. Calling them out on made up nickname fake stories, crappy leather on the 13s, changing the AJ 1 Low OG shape and still labeling them OG(and yes, jodi, the TRUE OG toebox shape is different and wider LOL)and many other things. You speak for us older guys who feel the same way but can’t express it because we don’t have a huge platform. Keep doing it, they need to be held accountable. Much, much, respect to you. You’re authentic. 😎
