[edit] Horrible

Air Jordans are probably some of the most popular shoes in history, and this article is completely unbecoming of their legacy. Horrible article; no pictures, ugly layout. Horrible.

I agree. The sections needs much more effort put into it. It needs some pictures first and foremost. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.72.2.73 (talk) 14:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contribution help?

I notice I'm the only one contributing to this page, and I can only do so every now and then. The others that "contribute" only valdalize and delete my work from the page. Please refrain from doing so. --BkBlade 16:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sky Jordans?

Weren't they originally called Sky Jordans? I swear I had a pair when I was a kid that said Sky Jordan on them rather than Air Jordan. quadratic 06:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

the kids sizes were sky jordans. mens sizes were air jordans.

or did you have Sky High Jordans? Sky High Air Jordans

[edit] Stolen

Google search for a portion of this article

This entire page is stolen from those sites. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Indolences (talk • contribs) February 6, 2006.

[edit] why the change in format

this used to have pics of each shoe and stuff. i remember it being a much detailed article. frankly, it sucks ass now. why the change?--Jaysscholar 01:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow, what the heck

This article is really cheesey. It seems it was written by someone working for an ad company, an MJ fanboy, or someone who like shoes way too much. There are also a few spelling errors.

Yup. Everything from the opening blurb down is a POV mess. Tony Myers 22:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. I came here hoping for more info on people murdered for shoes and other sports fashion, and the use of fashions by drug dealers.[1] --Singkong2005 talk 05:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Well then you appear to have a morbid view of sports sneakers Singkong, however the article is a mess as of now and needs a lot of work particularly in the area of citing it's sources and verifying what appears to be some original research claims. Quadzilla99 18:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links for Air Jordan Release Dates

I fixed a on Air Jordans link which was pointed towards http://www.techcomglobal.com which provided NO Air Jordan release Dates (and is a commercial site) and pointed the link to its original destination which was to NiceKicks.com's comprehensive list of Air Jordan Release Dates.

This link is not being added for commercial purposes but rather as supplimental information readers would be interested in. Since Air Jordan Release Dates change very frequently as well as the details (Product ID, Price, Date, and official pictures) it would be much more efficient for the information to be updated in one place with confirmed information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.112.77.205 (talk • contribs).

That there are other sites that do not comply with WP:EL and WP;SPAM is not a good reason to insert even more policy-violative links. The remedy is to remove those sites that you think don't belong. How does your site comply with WP:EL and WP:SPAM? --Nlu (talk) 04:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

We should find pictures. Anyone have any good ones we can use? (Furiousgeorgey13 21:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] External links for Air Jordan Release Dates and Air Jordan Information

There is another website called http://www.sneakerfiles.com and has a very update Air Jordan Release Dates. I have seen it added, but taken down. I do not understand why this is, since its real information, I am not just promoting my site, All Air Jordan Release Dates are there. Check for yourself: http://www.sneakerfiles.com/air-jordan-release-dates

[edit] "extremely expensive and are collectors items"?

what does it talking about. ebay is full of cheapos.--87.194.72.129 16:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

well extremly expenisve is an opinion, but most on ebay are fakes anyhow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blah0401 18:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dubz

we needed more info on the dubz which when i first saw had on info on them .

[edit] Air Jordan XI

They were not inspired by Tuxedo Shoes. They were inspired by a car. The patent leather was meant to replicate the look of chrome.

This article needs some serious polishing.

[edit] From another article

I removed the following from Mars Blackmon, as it wasn't relevant to the subject:

In 2007 Nike and Jordan released the Nike Air Jordan Spiz'ike which is a mix of the classic retro Jordan III, IV, V, and VI.

It wasn't referenced, but, if true, you may want to use it in this article. 82.71.48.158 15:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
