oh what you say about the materials is probably absolutely true, and much props for your reasonable argument.Originally Posted by tree4twenty
Jordan shoes were made for basketball. OG's were made for the court. WAY better materials, better fit and well thought out and tested on the court.Originally Posted by mafiasco
^haaaaa forreal right. i mean theirs too much influence and push amongst the circle to try to PROVOKE "NON OG COLLECTORS" to choose OG's over RETRO, and i believe thats lame, and ridiculous. every time i turn around its "oh the OG is better" Which shoe do you guys want that you wont complain that the OG is better than the retro?
These recent retros are just thrown together with cheap materials for casual wear, not on court performance. Hell, you wear some of the shoes they have been putting out for a few hours and your little toe is bleeding. For casual wear and "looking cool", go ahead and buy them, they are great for that, it's just the opposite of what the shoes used to stand for - High quality, better performance, comfortable, basketball shoe.
That's most peoples complaints. They dropped the quality in half, and raised the price tag. If this keeps happening, in 10-12 years, they will be selling us cardboard shoes for $325 and people will buy it.....*cough XX3 cough*
Not to mention the $175 price tag, which is higher than the retail of when they dropped as a high quality shoe.
Don't take this as a complaint and crying, because I'm not that type. Complaining on a message board over something you have no power in is pointless. If I see a shoe I like, I buy it, if I don't like it, I don't buy it...I'm just letting you know the difference between OG and recent retros...
I guarantee that these 09 retros will crease faster, yellow faster and the sole will fall of after 3-4 years of light use. After that 3-4 years, those 00 retros will still be standing strong...
I will be buying these for my 2 daughters as school shoes. None for me....
I agree about the sole. That's perfect if you care what other people think. I could care less, really. I want a quality shoe, yellow or not. Idon't care what stranger #1 at the gas station thinks...Originally Posted by mafiasco
of course its the "proper design" is the FIRST VERSION. which other version was made that declare the OGs to have the "perfect design"?
and im sorry those soles will never meet heat23s soles, regardless of the amount of sea glow you apply.
and my 09's will be yellow probably after awhile because I wore em, not because they sat up for 9 years and chilled.
Yeah, no prob with that at all. Majority of buyer these day want them for casual wear, but they are making them for that group, and leaving uslong time, basketball playing, customers out in the cold...Originally Posted by mafiasco

but me being a 20 year old young adult, buying 175, well 300 dollar jordans is not basketball use for me, just as you say "casual wear" is exactly what their for, and i guarantee you the MAJORITY of niketalkers just do the same. now when those spacejams get old old old, just like my 06 metallic Vs did, then ill use em for basketball, and hop right back on ISS/NIKETALK can cop me another DS pair to do the cycle ALL over again.
but for the "out the gate" moment, i want my soles and SHOES looking brand new, thus my purpose and appreciation for RETRO's.
Hell, I realized that they weren't going to be made for my liking a long time ago. I have accepted that. Nothing more I can do, except buyolder shoes and hope that one day they start releasing 2 different versions, because I know they aren't going to stop with the lower quality. Honestly, Idon't see why they wouldn't bring 2 versions out because they woudl all sell out no matter what, so it would be a win/win....Originally Posted by mafiasco
and "tree" well sorry the shoes aint made how they use to for you...
