Jordan B’Loyal “Do The Right Thing”
Yesterday we revealed the “DTRT” Big Fund, and we told you Jordan Brand also made a B’Loyal. They come with the same make up as the Big Funds, but the B’Loyal comes with the exact same print on the sock liner as seen on the Spiz’ikes. They also have white patent leather on the toe box. Just like the Big Fund these should be available in stores next week. Check out the pics after the jump for a detailed preview.

Ive been a jordan collector since the very early days, however with the last few years of bad colorways, butchered classics & lack of quality I am thinking deeply of refraining from buying any new jordans. This will not end my love affair with jordan brand but will lead me into purchasing more OGs & others. I love the smell, the feel, the excitement of grabbing a new pair of jays, but these last few years have filled me with more disappointment than the happiness that I felt throughtout my life. I will never stop being a shoe-fiend but I will be purchasing of my shoes from brands like greedy genius, new balance (way impressed with their fight to the top) & not to forget Undercrown whose shoes have impressed me more & more everyday. Jordan I love the memories, the excitement, the smell but you have lost me. It sickens me but how can we as fans & collectors sit back & accept the lack of quality. i can accept the bad colors & even the butchering to some extreme but the quality, I cannot. I love the game & the memories. Peace to everyone & sorry for the rant. But I just need a clean quality “sole” peace & love ya’ll. 1
I agree, and JB needs to chill
i also agree…and new balance has been doing there thing..although i’m not a huge fan of the undrcrwns b/c i feel that the shoe is too busy i 100% agree with what Jar said about jordan…i wish they would stop trying to push the DTRT pack and i already wrote about this in another blog but i cant help but say the DTRT pack is getting extremely played out and just about any1 can buy a pair..especially the sandals i mean honestly what is this the 8th pair made…i really feel that they should’ve only stuck to the III’s and the spizikes..and maybe not even the spizikes now b/c they;ve alreayd made what…4-5 colorways of that pair and they’re not even exclusive now..oh well..jordan brand will figure it out soon enough when no1 is buying there terrible colorways of DTRT’s..ugghhhh
C-Lo, I feel you on Undercrowns “business” on there signiture models but if you havent already check out their “lay-up” models, They have a great look, feel & the quality is great. They aren’t as wild as the newest releases. 1
What’s up folks!
It’s like this, the DTRT collection is so played and even JB knows it. The thing is they don’t care, ppl are actually buying this stuff. Keep in mind that its tons of ppl that cop this crap both in the shoe game and outsiders. I know it sounds odd but JB is doing great in sales. According to one of my main sources JB’s marketing plan is going well in terms of sales.
My point is they’re making a lot of money. I’m def not saying it’s right what they’re doing but at the end of the day ppl still buy this crap, and JB’s goal is to make money. What one person doesn’t like it’s someone else that loves it. The main reason they say it’someone in the world for everyone. Same thing with sneakers, we can’t stand DTRT stuff but some ppl love it.
I honestly feel it was a bad idea to do the classic Air Jordan 3 in the DTRT colorway. I know Spike helped with the 3′s but I’m straight on the DTRT 3′s. The only pair that I feel is ok is the Spiz’ikes. It’s a new model so they can do whatever they want, I DON’T CARE. But leave the classics alone. It’s like JB is running out of ideas.
Next year get ready for the good, the bad, and the UGLY. Oh and nike-head get ready for more colorways of the Spiz’ikes. When I get the ok I’ll leak more info, and hopefully pics. If I could post pics of the stuff I see and know, ppl would sleep on TSG
Well guys that’s my 25 cents. DTRT and JB need to end. Get your favorite retro’s and get em quick. Just Do It, you’ll understand down the line…
G-Roc, Its no secret that any businesses plan is to make money, but when a company thats claim to fame was making shoes that went above & beyond, to make shoes for the best player in the game & make shoes that pushed the limits of technology leaves behind that strive for the best product possible by using crap quality, they do themselves no service at all. While they may have increasing sales for the meantime, they will however, day by day be know for more there lack of quality & less for there past position of making shoes of the highest quality & performance. This will happen, maybe not now but as the true Michael Jordan fans grow older & the young bucks that only know of Jordan from what the highlights reveal & what is told to them from others, hence making just “buying the name” less & less attractive to the youth. I would love to see the Jordan legacy live on but high sales or not, crap quality shoes in the long wrong will not prove to be a wise choice for the brand. Why would kids want to buy bad quality shoes just because some guy they really dont know wore them, they kids always fall in love with some new flavor of the week, no matter if the new isnt as good as the latter. Thats all, I had to stop before I turned this comment into a novel. Ha, I appreciate the “between the lines” there G-roc & will be sure to do that. Peace &
good luck everyone. 1
Wow Jar me and you both are extremely long winded. I feel you, and it use to piss me off but sadly I’ve gotten use to it. Thanks for reading between the lines.
