Stop it. Dude is a legend.
Oh, that dude? I've taken the time to watch some of his videos over the years and enjoy them
but had no idea what his name is.
But
jshortt
- let's be honest here - he has to look up details like release dates (years)and nike air on heel per release, etc. - which are details both of us know off the top of our heads...
at least I do. Also, I was there for the original AJ3 as well; I think maybe you were too.
So respect without veneration.

Yeah, I know he got mixed up on when the Nike Air returned on one of the recent retros, but make no mistake, he's a true OG.
Most of that stuff usually tumbles right out of his mouth. Dude has run that shop for forever and a day.

I agree 100%Not only for 5’s either.
They could’ve released/retroed some of that old merch for any of the OG 1-13 the past decade and would have made a killing from me alone.

They look less ashy in those pics and more like the nubuck they been using.

The ashy joints must’ve been fakes

Def looks better. You can see it’s not the nubuck like the 16s but it’s not what it looked like from early pics. That was that ashy **** they used on the recent royal foams.

Couldn't agree more, and I say this to myself with every I–XIV OG release. But especially every time they retro OG IIIs. That OG apparel collection blows away anything Nike or JB make today or have made in years. I'm still pissed I missed the OG vault release of the IV Flight shorts a few years back, too. Why they stopped with the retro clothing is unfathomable to me. Triply so in an era where "vintage" stuff has been so popular across clothing trends in general.

I think part of it is they DID retro some of that stuff and most of it sat. They absolutely did Flight suits like Rich is wearing in that pic and some of the other pieces for the 2018 release. They dropped multiple Flight suits for the 5's a few years back. The stuff sits, and once it dries up, for some reason then it starts going for stupid money on the secondary. I know I for sure have the black 3 Flight suit and the black 1/4 zip from the 2018 drop, and red, royal, and black Flight suits from the 2016 5 run.

Yeah I know some of it sat, but I always felt like part of it was due to which pieces they chose to release. Like the Flight suits look cool hanging on the rack, but I never bought those and I understand why others didn't. Not exactly an easy thing to pull off, at least not to me LOL
BUT there are plenty of OG pieces like shorts and warmup pants and hoodies and jackets that I would snap up in a flash if given the opportunity. They could also redo things like the nylon III and IV flight suits in a more modern way. Gimme both the white and black with EP jacket designs on a full or 1/4 zip hoodie (pretty sure they DID do that a dozen or so years ago during one of the III rereleases) and I'd be all over it.

Only retro piece I seen were the flight sweatpants for the 4s and I grabbed those with the quickness.
The wings flight suits for the 1’s too, but I feel like those were even more limited. I managed to only get the black/royal.

Those look great! I wish they would go back to the bulkiness build of Jordan’s :/I got my 2000 pair sole swapped recently. No shoe tree in these but they are stuffed with paper, I think that made the toe taller.
New netting too
