Both of those top pairs look like 2001 retros to me in various states of aging. Not saying that top pair isn’t a ‘96, I know pairs do vary but it does look suspicious. Only thing that makes me question my judgement is the slight blue tint that is still visible, but people do dye soles.

I would argue we are not their average consumers. People who frequent Niketalk and nitpick every angle and crevice of the shoe are far from average. Their average consumer is my 17 year old kid that never owned a pair of OG’s and just thinks the shoes look cool. I always take that into account...

I don’t understand why they can’t use the soft material like the 2000 retros. That hard, tall, stiff tongue (pause) ain’t it. ….I’m still coppin’ tho.

I think things like that are gonna vary pair to pair.

JB don’t care bro. They’ve done way more stupid and unnecessary things over the years. This is the same company that has 3 different molds for AJ1’s and 2 or 3 molds for the AJ1 low. The madness will never end.

🤣 I think I was in 7th grade lol.

This is gonna be a double up. Finally did these right after all of these years. My Mom drove me 45 minutes away to track down a pair of these when I was a kid. Rocked them proudly with a fugazi UNC jersey I found at a local mom and pops sneaker shop. Great times 😂 *sidenote: The clowns in the...

I’m glad everyone hates these. Easy cops are always appreciated.

Anyone thinking that the ‘18 pair looks better than the ‘24 in anyway shape or form seriously needs their heads checked. All questions about authenticity of these newest pics aside, these are head and shoulders above the 2018.

Somebody really came in here and said the BC3 is the weakest out of the lineup? Let me exit this thread till November. Crack is Wack guys.

Same

Exactly, the cost hasn’t mattered in years which is why they will sell you an air penny 1 for 160-170 that retailed in ‘95 for $140, yet sell you an AJ XI that dropped at the same time for a lesser price of $125 for an outrageous price of $230 in 2024. They just know that people will pay for the XI.

We used to do this with our socks in junior high for basketball games lol. Only hoopers did this. Mid to late 90’s. The matching armband was necessary too 😂

I’m still wearing my pack pair. These will more than likely come out in the fall.

Reading is fundamental

EA for FNL/JD just dropped 6 minutes ago. It might be ship to me though because they did in store yesterday.

I’m gonna see if these hit that good ol’ discount rack. Can’t afford to pay retail for pairs that I don’t have to anticipating all of the money I’ll be spending on sneakers 3rd qtr this year through 2025.

Yeah this, Nike JB didn’t just start flooding the market. They’ve been releasing an obscene amount of sneakers for years now. The economy just has people focusing on necessities and not frivolous wants. The average family is having to spend an extra 30k just to maintain the same life they were...

I think the photos of the outsole that I’ve seen on this years release is the best they’ve been since ‘96.

Yeah as previously stated, the economy has killed resale. I really don’t think Nike/ JB has had much to do with the current state of the sneaker market.
