After comparing them to my OGs I have no problem with that change. I always felt just a tad bit more uni. blue was needed. Im not a fan of the chrome eyelets, but it's not big deal. My only issue with the retro is a part of the shoe you can't see and that's the color of the carbon fiber.
Where is air-jordans.com when you need them. Some of you guys can definitely go for a history lesson on Jordans, and I'm not just referring to some of the things said about this particular retro.
Yes i agree, some of them do need a history lesson. Not me, Im a vet. Dnt let the low post count fool ya. And thats only if u were including me in that statement. As I stated in the same post u quoted or the one b4 it, I dnt have a prob with the chrome lace loops. But I still think i may change my uni blue 23 to navy blue, and thats if I have 1 laying around here somewhere. Not gonna go buy 1 just to do it though. IMO
I think it just looks better. Specially since blue is my fav color.

STRAIGHT UP. HOLLA...

Oh man lemme tell ya. When I 1st read that crazy remark that goon made about poor man's playoffs, I bout sh#t a brick. It made me feel a certain type of way. So much that I had to log on and reply to it. I was like thisfor real. I was in line behind some young punks yesterday morning and i just listened as they were talkin about which jordans they got/want etc. I was just rolling my eyes and makin rude comments in my head bcuz they just sound like a virgin who just had sex for the 1st time or 2 and think they Ron Jeremy or somebody.

Most of these kids weren't even around to see MJ play, let alone remember these shoes releasing.
They just buy Jordan's because it's the cool thing to do. It has nothing to do with MJ or what he accomplished in a certain shoe.
They just look at the colors and how the hype is and they go based off that. If it doesn't sell out instant, than it's not as hot as the previous colorway.

they are likely just selling what is left over from their store.

You're good fam, wasn't referring to you. And blue is my favorite color too. I like the light blue colors more than dark or navy. Royal tops all.

"HYPE".) I'M NOT DOWNIN' ALL OF THE YOUNGSTAS FOR THIS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY U CAN'T CONTROL WHEN U WERE BORN...BUT, MY THING IS IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEND THAT MUCH TIME,EFFORT, AND MONEY ON COLLECTIN' KICKS, U SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT U ARE INVESTING IN,YA FEEL ME? BUT HEY, WHAT DO I KNOW? LOL... I'M JUST DROPPIN' MY 2¢. HOLLA...CED B.
