Gentry Humphrey is making his way back to team Jumpman. After leaving the line in 2011, Humphrey will now return to Jordan Brand as its Vice President of Footwear. Since his departure, he’s contributed to Nike as its VP of Profile Sports among other positions. News surfaced in 2015 that Humphrey planned to leave Nike entirely until he was met with a counteroffer that persuaded him to stay.

Humphrey is known for the approval of the UNDFTD x Air Jordan 4, the first “Defining Moments” Pack and the questionable Jordan hybrids over the years. What are your thoughts on his return and what special projects would you like to see Gentry behind?

In other news, Jordan Brand is being countersued again by Qiaodan Sports.
