Marcus Jordan is done with all the drama and controversy. Last year, the Trophy Room owner teased the release of his collaboration with Jordan Brand. In the last episode of Complex‘s popular “Full Size Run,” Jordan shared numerous intriguing details about his brand and its latest releases. As promised in the show, this year sees the arrival of the eagerly awaited and fans’ favorite, the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 Low. The latest collection will be available in two colorways. While fans are thrilled and can’t wait to get their hands on the new shoes, there have been a few accusations involved with the release.

Recently, a fan accused Marcus of backdooring by showing an X post and wrote, “What about this one @HEIRMJ still cap?” While some continued to troll Jordan, the 33-year-old also jumped to X to declare his ultimatum.

Claiming that he has nothing to with the sale of all the other shops, Jordan wrote, “Bro I’m not finna keep entertaining yo lame a**. This is a global release. Only @TrophyRoomStore & SNKRS releasing in North America. There are THOUSANDS of pairs going releasing in international GEOs and retailers… I can’t control what other shops do.” However, the debate continued with some accusing him and others taking a stand for him.

This is not the first time for the Chicago Bulls legend’s son to collaborate with the Jordan brand, nor it is for the allegations. The Trophy Room owner has been long involved with the allegations of backdooring. And, he has consistently denied those.

Marcus Jordan denies backdooring allegations

Here is a brief for those who might not be aware of the word. While considered inappropriate, this process of backdooring is secretly selling those coveted and precious shoes to handpicked customers instead of selling them to everyone in the store.

He struggled with similar allegations during the release of his past collaborations with the brand too. Before the latest cool kicks, Michael Jordan‘s son released the Air Jordan 7 “New Sheriff in Town” in association with the Jordan Brand.

During his appearance in Full Size Run, the champ shared the entire story with the viewers and listeners. While Marcus admitted that a portion of the collection did end up getting away, he denied his involvement in it. And the 33-year-old has again denied any wrongdoings.
