Yup yup! Your taste changes the older you get if not then you better check yourself a little deeper. LOL!
Same can be said for a lot of the OG colors as well. Military Blue 4's weren't a hit… Garpe 5's sat… Maroon 6's sat…. Playoff 7's (Raptors to you young kids) sat… Aqua 8's sat… but you get...
I play in my iD Kobes. They play similar to the EM low. Biggest difference is the EM's are more flexible. Haven't noticed a difference in ventilation yet. Traction is exactly the same and my iDs are clear translucent.
IMO the sizing is just a tad bigger than TTS. Not a complete half size up like the 2013 5s! I had the 2000 Black/Infrared and those were more pointy at the toe box as well as the 2010 White/Varsity Red. I've also had OG White/Infrared which were a waaaaaay different fit than any of the retros...

I usually wear a 8.5 and I tried on an 8 for the 6's but they were too snug at the toe box so you might as well stick to the 8.5. For some reason the jump from 8 to 8.5 is all ****** up with the 6's. I had the white/varsity red in a 9 and they felt like a 9.5…. Whatever foot mold they're using...
I'm really glad my OG pair are still wearable cuz the ONE thing I absolutely hate on the past 2 retros of these is the darker red minus the metallic flake.
Oh ya on another note the quality of the OGs were nothing to celebrate.
Very nice post. This topic has come up many times over the past 5-10 years. Unfortunately it is a combination of society and money hungry corporations that have ruined it for those who have a TRUE affection and appreciation for the sneakers they get.
Bottom line for all you guys and gals is...
Like most old timers noted it really took off around playoff time of the 96 season when the Black/Red color way released.
I had eyed the concord XI since MJ wore them against the Magic. I was fortunate enough to convince the manager at the Athlete's Foot in the Great Mall to sell them to me a...
