Should be banned from competition for life imo. What if the other guy crashed? No way to argue that was unintentional either.

What is that you intend to do with this gun? Cross shopping a Bolt-Action Rifle and a Semi-auto shotgun is a bit unusual. Can't really weigh in without knowing what the intended purpose is. Home Defense? Recreational Shooting?

This feels like a desperation move. They couldn't ride Jordan forever. So strictly in that sense, a little.

Jordans still sell out almost every weekend I dont know what youre talking about.

A DESPERATION MOVE BRUH

lmfao people kill each other for Jordans and this dude thinks Nike needed a DESPERATION move ROFL

Yeah you sneakerheads pushing past 30 would still camp out for the limited runs. This isn't about the shoes, it's about brand identity. There's a new generation of kids that don't know or care about Jordan the player or the image he once brought.

If you listen to any of Nike's conference calls over the past couple years, they're working on new relevance pertaining to a brand identity growth catalyst. Adidas has been eating their lunch in this category, so Nike's been frantically ramping up their edge/cool/hot factor with flashy football uniform redesigns and stunts like the Kaep ad.

Nike has lost market share in recent years, but that was to be expected considering how dominant they once were.

It's funny, Jordans were the premier shoe well into the 2000's but the kids I taught (high schoolers in the early 2010's) finally lost their taste for them. Most of them were more into KD's with a smattering of Lebron's and Kobe's.

Might pick this up, I enjoyed 8 on the PS2, it was gorgeous and a relaxing experience. Random Encounters made the mid/late game dungeons a bit of a slog from what I recall (not in terms of difficulty but just the disjointed nature of exploring and being interrupted constantly).

Looks like they addressed that by having the enemies appear on the map and letting you avoid or engage.

Lack of orchestral soundtrack is a bit disappointing. It was cool in 8 when you hopped on the ship and that orchestra swelled to life.
