He was still in his late 20s. 30 near the end of the 1st 3peat

The 35 years of age was in reference to myself. I’m 35.
At 35 years of age I look back and still find myself amazed that he wore a loud sneaker like the Carmine Vi.

So you were for real 9 years old thinking wow he’s wearing some loud sneakers? How could he!?

As far as style wise a lot of Jordan’s just don’t fit well with the majority of my wardrobe now. For example 9’s, 12’s, and 13’s are just too bulky with the chinos and jeans I wear. I’m a slimmer guy so I just don’t like the skinny pants then big shoe at the bottom it irks me. 1’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 6’s, 7’s look fine however even though some are border line with the boot shaped toebox. 8’s and 11’s get passes too for nostalgia reasons.

I don’t find that unbelievable.
Shoes back then were bland and boring until Mike popped up.

I can get off a fit in any model except for the 15.
Them joints are the absolute worst.

Yes I was. I was more a fan of Darkwing Duck though.

I wore mines to the gym by default.
. But this was the retros from 2008. Perhaps now I would just say “screw it!” And wear them with some 541’s and a graphic t-shirt. You still got the Levi’s discount?- 22,096

The Carmine VI CDP anticipation/hype was something serious. Obviously since it hadn’t been on shelves since 91-92. That CDP was tough to get for me unlike the 11/12 & 7/16 pack.
But hey we almost in to February, Praying everyone eats. Hoping the numbers are generous.

This thread is way to off topic...y'all not even discussing the black infs anymore

I've been meaning to say this for awhile now, but having had 3 pairs of OG 6's when they first came out, they were not ever super comfy like the 4's and 5's. I think they were trying to cut weight or something, but they never had the same springy cushion as the ones before.

We can go back to discussing color and shapes again for a few pages until February 9th.
I’m curious to see the apparel. Especially with the All-Star Game being in Charlotte, hopefully that apparel that’ll tie in to that.

He was dealing with tendonitis in his knee during the Philly series, and he jammed his toe at the of Game 3 of the Finals when he hit the shot to send it into overtime.
C'mon y'all use common sense. Do you really believe that Mike was playing in the hard *** midsoles they use now??? Many of you are old enough to remember when even the early retros were MAD cushioned. Stop the madness.

Don't recall anyone ever thinking the 7 was a "takedown" of the 6. I remember the opposite. It was a turbo charged version.
Do people not notice/know that Tinker did trilogies? 3-5, reset. 6-8, reset. 9-11, was where that ended. They were all natural progressions that kept some of the elements of the previous model.

Some of these cats weren’t even born yet, so you gotta take what they say about OG’s with a grain of salt.

Seems like we’ve lost sight of the keyword here “RETRO”.

I never had a fresh original. I had a hand me down black infra back in 93 or so. They felt ok in terms of comfort but comparing to the Aquas I was wearing at the time, they were def more comfortable than the 6s. I never thought MJ would wear a hard midsole shoe, I just think the standard of comfort was a little lower back then compared to today.

Hows the fit on these sorry if its been mentioned already. Never owned a pair of 6s before

From my own experience with a few pairs are they fit a little big and wide. If you have narrow feet like myself. Stiff midsoles and uppers but once they are broken in, they feel great.

Totally agree.
