Crackin up at all the raggin on the Retros! I'll take OGs any day but for $60 to pick up a pair, I'm sure as hell not gonna ever turn that down (and didn't) regardless of quality changes. EVERYONE KNOWS that retro-quality is nowhere near OG quality ESPECIALLY starting in 2006 & up with Nike/JB...
Actually, never mind... mine are the Midnight Navy joints... the others are Varsity Royal, so they truly are 2 different colorways. Both can be found on PYS (no sizes available) and you can see the colorway list on the last pic on each...
Varsity Royal (with Black sockliner)...
This is confusing... I realize the main differences with the retro include the strap color, no CF on the midsole inserts & the blue mud guard carried thru the toe cap but there are TWO versions of the 2007 retro, BOTH of which surface frequently. The 100% Authentic pair I own & rock varies...
They're also pushing Cushlon which is now a stand-alone midsole foam option, as clearly evidenced in the Lebron 9, which aside from a strange, initial fit that runs VERY short, feel MAD comfy!
I think from a durability standpoint, nothing will stand the test of time like Phylon. That stuff is...

I myself Can't choose based on one category. These are on 2 separate fields between Quality vs. fav CW.
Black Cements are hands-down my fav CW of IIIs but I would rank them dead last in terms of quality. They were, by far the worst retro III of 2011. And yes, I owned them (past tense) and...

Strange coincidence to come across this list. Just bought some kicks off of Ska & looked him up in general Find search...this list popped up. Then I saw it was < 48hrs old!?!
Well, uh, thnaks for the info although, bet's still on Optimus for faster hands!
^^It is officially Sport Blue VI, despite the bastardized use of September due to people misinterpreting the acronym on the box. Those would be amazing to see retro'd honestly but so would midsole swapping some clean OGs.
It's kinda a strange question to me cuz whatever doesn't retro, I'll just...
My thoughts to a tee. How can such decent turnouts be cranked out for Kobe, Lebron, Durant and the like while Jordan & his sig players' kicks look about a half click north of lukewarm trash? The KD IVs are sharp, I've bought a few pairs of Lebron IXs & the VIIIs were solid, I'm not a fan of...
Yep that's the story for sure.
My '04s have a yellowed toe cap that I guess I could retr0brite but I think I'll give a couple light Angelus coats instead. My '01 True Blues bought DS last year don't show any yellowing, not really even any on the heel tab. Definitely depends on how they're...
BUMP. Has anyone bought, sold or seen an average price on a DS pair of these lately? They don't come up often, so really hoping for an opinion or 2 on price.Thanks!
Just needing a PC on Storm Pack Air Max Bursts. LE's I believe only released abroad, not in US. Pass as DS w/OG box, everything. Sz 12.
Thanks for the help!!

My fav "non-heat" CDPs in this order are:
XVIII - Own em & love em more than the Blk/Royals
XX2 - On their way to me this week...can't wait!
XIV - Need these. I'm a sucker for contrast stitching, even if they aren't as solid as the OGs/'05s. Shoulda had more red on em tho...
XX1 - Simple...
AM 1s are killin it in here1 Especially the Fires & Patents.
@BigTy - Doom foams gotta be my fav foams around...may be the only foams I would wear besides royals.
@Youngsk8 - Way to bust out the '04 Oly VIIs! : Incredible pair right there.
