blatant money grab by jb. i'll never forget that video of everyone's favourite villain gentry hyping the cdp by promising the future plan would be to make og colourways seldom release and when they do, they'd be regional exclusives and very hard to get.
anyway, i didn't get many, since the retail here in aus even in 08 was AUD$500, ended up importing all the ones i got.
2's: my first pair of 2's, rubbish plastic leather and tiny piece of foam in the collar which you could see between the stitching. ended up selling them.
6's: loved them, but they are poor next to recent retros. although i had no complaints at the time, they were one of the better cdps, they were still not as good as they should have been. i still regret selling them after i got salty about missing the all important xi/xii pack. swore of jays for most of the following year and sold a chunk from my rotation.
7's: bought them on their own a few years back, still wear them today. funny MINOTAURO felt these were a size too big, mine fit just right, and the '12 olys were just about a full size too big in comparison!
9's: felt stiff and the sole hard. sold while salty.
14: still got my pair. was never happy with the colourway so i added white to the midsole (you can see them in this thread )
17: still got mine. don't have og's so it's better than nothing.
21: still got mine, they are okay. don't love them, but not worth selling because i'd get nothing for them.
