Larry Miller Returns As President Of Jordan Brand

July 7th 2012 | 168 comments

words // Zac Dubasik

Following a five-year stint as President of the Portland Trail Blazers, Larry Miller is returning as President of Jordan Brand. Since Miller left Jordan Brand, the position of President has been a bit of a revolving door. First up was Garry Cook, who lasted a mere four months, before leaving to become CEO of the Manchester City soccer club. Next up was Keith Houlemard, who was a 19-year Nike veteran, and had been in the position ever since. 

Miller's first reign as President of Jordan Brand lasted from 1999-2006, a period of major growth and success for the brand. His return marks an opportunity to capitalize on the clear product vision for which he was known.  What are your thoughts? Did you prefer the 1999-2006 era of Jordan Brand over the past five years? Let us know what you'd like to see change in the comments.

i wish ppl would stop talking about they hope he brings back the quality...jb and nike always have used cheaper quality each year even when larry miller was president he helped start the cheaper quality nike is on..if you could compare a brand new ds pairs of jordan's from the 80's middle 90's to the retro's that were made in 99 to 2006 when miller was pres you would see that they have terrible quality too..what i am saying is from back then to now as the years goes on nike slowly make jordan's out of cheap quality to the point were now its too cheap and its getting more noticeable...so if you think nike is going to bring back good quality while they can keep make bad quality shoes and raising the prices then your crazy..this ain't new nike been doing this for years and it will continue.

please...just come home.
retros use to be priced the same as the shoe was originally priced, i would like to see that return, as well as quality near the bins... or if prices stay the same, have BIN quality. Also an increase of production, and send at least 100 pairs to all stores, not 12-18 pairs per store. thats insane!
Glad to see Mr. Miller back the Jordan Brand missed you
