of course they arent that good, theyre fielding a third string team. franchise players are where they should be, in spring training. if you dont realize the wbc is a marketing ploy by mlb, i dont know what to tell you.
the wbc is a joke, nothing more than a global marketing gimmick by mlb. romo is also 100% american, but playing for mexico...
and mexico just got smacked down by italy...a team that is made up of all americans, except like one guy. the wbc is really designed for the ignorant fan, after all...
most of the people in lines, and even on this forum, shouldnt be purchasing these shoes because they cant afford them. common sense eludes the reality tv demographic.
i dont own the other pair in your comparison, but photo appears to show a suede-like material. thats even further away than the nubuck from what it should be.
guaranteed sell out over night, regardless of prices, doesnt warrant additional incentive of offering free shipping. surprised it took them this long to restrict it on these releases. just think how much they save (increased revenue) by not eating shipping costs.
the entire retro line is played out. that said, the 2012 black/cement retro is vastly inferior to the 1999, and no rationalization can be made otherwise.
garbage, per typical. i mean, theyre fine if youre just going to wear them out and enjoy them for what they are, but these arent anywhere near "collection" caliber. for retail price of these, nike should be offering a product that is true to the original.
after this one, i am officially back into retirement. i hadnt bought a jordan release of any kind for three or four years. however, if they decide to release a true black/infrared vi, i may be lured back.
i would really like to know if they cant, or just arent willing to use proper durabuck...
please tell me you understand the difference between selling something from a personal collection that has been out of circulation for years and hording multiples of a new mass produced product to create artificial demand in an effort to gouge at a markup.
told myself i wasnt getting these six months ago, even though theyre my favorite. bad material, bad shape, jumpman on the back, dont need them. slept in so id miss the online release and i dont mess with black friday madness, its for mental midgets and cretins. checked the usual sites around...
