That was a great comparison. But... For those who never owned an '06 pair, or any pair before the recent years, I don't think this should/would even matter. Probably doesn't. For most of these cats relatively new to Jordan's, today's shoe is the standard. Most have never seen OG's in person, or...
Now why would a grown man wear a shirt featuring a naked Will Smith? That's beyond me. I don't wear anything with a mans face on it (not talking silhouette), that's mad idolization.
I'm seeing a lot of talk about matching apparel. Personally, I don't care what anyone rocks. If you like it, good for you. Personally, I don't buy JB apparel, just to match a pair of shoes. $175 is more than enough money spent, I'm not dropping another bill on a matching fit, to wear 1-2x with a...
I keep getting "Thank you for your interest. This product was only available in limited quantities and is now out of stock" from Nike. Since the moment the link dropped! This is like the Ray Allen XIII's for me!

Houston is a bunch of bull. I think Premium Goods really did get them...
Monday they gave me a definite yes. FCFS.
Wednesday, this is how my 26 second convo went:
Me: Ya'll getting the black/gold Jordan 1's?
PG: Yeah, on RD. Not before.
Me: Saturday?
PG: Is that when they come out?
Me...
I didn't want anything today, but to answer your question, no. I do not realize. I've been able to cop pairs from every restock I've shot for so far this year.
With the pre-order price hike thing... I think most would prioritize by amount paid... It may be unethical, but you (the buyer) have absolutely no way of knowing who paid what, when they paid, or who was shipped pairs.
And in all reality, these guys already took in more orders than they will...
