I didn't say you were attacking me, I just think it's ridiculous that thread after thread people are busting their balls for a retro every 6 years like it just happened yesterday. That's the cycle. It always has been. 94 -> 2000 -> 2006 -> 2012. There's deviation given the model and colorway, some a little less, some a little more. Anyone with knowledge of Jordans should understand this is how it's worked and will continue to go. I'm not stressin getting a pair of these, I was simply pointing out that the quality of these 2012s isn't going to be awful, and the quality of the OGs wasn't particularly good either. I had the OGs sitting in my closet until about 2 months ago and from what I've seen in these photos, there's nothing dramatically different in the materials used. The XIV is one of the shoes that had obvious quality issues in it's original form, and the retros have actually provided better quality in overall materials used. What I was getting at though was that these aren't going to sit on shelves. I'm aware the '06's are available at a good price, but if you think these won't sell out and that JB doesn't know what they're doing with this particular colorway or model, you're mistaken.

The people who want better leather, paint and overall materials are now seen as some sort of NT pariah.
true blue III's that were EURO only release were plagued with paint chipping VS da release from 2011 in da US that solved da problem.Originally Posted by FIREPOWER23
With one possible solitary exception (the 2004 retro XIIs comfort wise) -NO retro or even re-retro Jordan in the past 26 years has been superior to it's predecessor. If you think otherwise, please show me one example where the retro model has better materials than it's OG counterpart.

I wore the 2009 True Blue 3s many times before they started to chip -My 2011 White/cement 3s chipped after 2 wears. As I said in the previous post -the '11 White/cements (and TBs) will chip in due time.Originally Posted by ninjahood

True.
I think however that he is saying the original was better....ie the original 3 was better quality than all of the retro 3's that have followed.
