The New Air Jordan -- No, Really, It's Green

31.

You're all a bunch of morons.

You spend your pathetic lifes following the everyday occurances of people you have and NEVER will meet, stalking their shopping paterns, dating theatrics, and family lives. WHO GIVES a crap about celebrities.

Kids do not get killed for their Air Jordans anymore. This isn't the 80's. Get your head out of your piss stained pants.

There are people in this wolrd who are DIE HARD shoe collectors - and there is also a subculture of people who resell them, for CRAZY profits. Don't knock it till you try it. Are any of these celebs making YOU money? Or just wasting your time. A limited shoe with a limited availability even makes you TMZ celebrity jock riders follow our addiction.

I hope you all get high off shoe glue smell!

33. I have to agree with #13, gotta pay for the divorce. Hey Mike, take a lesson from Stephon Marbury. I'm not much of a basketball fan but I give respect to athletes who are benelovant to their people and fans.

34. Glad to know that racist people have all this access to the internet to leave comments about "Ghetto Youth"

Get a grip people. Its a shoe that is green and a step in the right direction by a corporation. If you dont like, dont buy it. And since when did all the meth heads in trailer parks start wearing Air Jordans?

35. So if everybody who buys a pair of Jordan's is on welfare or from the "ghetto" then I guess it's okay for me to call all of you redneck racist hillbilies. Hey, it's a biased generalization based on the actions of other people, just like what you said.Oh, it's only okay when you do it.

I don't buy his shoes, but I know people who pay their mortgages and their car payments and probably make more than most of you no job having losers, but still go out and buy every pair to add to their collections. You morons need to wake up! In 2008 its really sad that you still think it's okay to be bigots and racists. Why attack the people who buy the shoe instead of the people who thinks it's okay to charge $230 for a shoe that cost $5 to make? I would understand better if all of your attacks were targeted at Mike. But no, you have to go after the easy target. I really learn alot about white people by visiting TMZ. Hateful monsters.

36. The shoe looks great, I mean how else were they suppose to end the Jordan legacy? I think Tinker did the best he could in paying homage to Mike. I think it has already been mentioned also that the limited ones that go for $230 aren't the ones that Mike is holding, the black ones (the ones Mike is holding) go for $180, nonetheless it doesn't matter how much they are, I'm coppin'

Resell value on these is going to be nuts. Everyone get their pairs to wear and to sell because you don't want to miss out on this one.

41. I bet some of you same jerk-offs knocking the existance of Air Jordans buy $300+ purses, have projection HDTVs, and wouldn't think twice about gambling away a few hundred bucks in Vegas.

People like and buy different things.

The guy is a sports legend, and compared to today's average athlete, a living saint as well.

I'd say you guys should kiss his ass, but your're not even worthy of that. Plus your probably too short as well.

42. i think all of you gossip lovers are just as bad as the comments you post. i came to this article after reading it on a "sneaker forum" for sneaker collectors etc. I personally collect jordan sneakers for casual and sports. buying jordan brand shoes is no different than yuppies going out buying 200 pair of jeans, or whatever you guys buy because the celebs are wearing them etc. so just think about that for a sec. I personally buy jordan brand sneakers because of the quality of the shoe compared to other basketball shoes out there in the market, some are good and some arent so good, but i personally look to purchase for the performance aspect and of course style (you dont buy what you dont like right?). Besides that, I think i get my shoes or anything really usually when the price is more reasonable etc.
