To me it does matter, the way I see it is like this:I used to wish for this but when I really sit down and think about it, does it really matter? Sure there may be 25 colorways per model now, but your traditional team colors, All-Star mockup, and Playoff pairs are still part of that line up. It's as simple as getting what you want and ignoring the rest.
As Mart said, unless you have that Pokemon mentality, you'll gravitate to certain colors and the rest may as well not exist anyway. It's never fundamentally a bad idea to give people more options.

Instead of producing those other unnecessary color ways, why not produce more pairs of the color ways that matter? I understand what you're saying though cause I do that with Jordan's, I'll buy an OG color way and pretend like those other color ways don't exist. I won't lie some non-OG color ways do look tough but that is a rare few.
Oh no I definitely understand why there are multiple color ways nowadays, I'm just saying they should put that energy and time into producing more pairs of, let's use the LeBron line for example (not trying to derail just using as an example), the Kings Pride, Aways, (Do they even have a home version?), ASG, and of course the playoff shoe. Instead we get random color ways like the Terracotta Warriors, Atomic Orange, Blackouts, Jades, Dunkman, etc. Just doesn't make sense to me, even the SB theme makes sense seeing that he's playing in SB, thats a cool little theme.When aged cleanly, it seems like the blue just fades. But in the real world where __s actually wear their shoes, the blue will fade as the yellowing begins
The amount of colorways and the quantity made for each don't really correlate though as far as I can tell. Like, Nike cutting it back down to 7-8 colorways doesn't mean each one would be more available. Nike just knows that these new dudes won't be all over certain pairs if they're too available in general, and acts accordingly like a smart business would. I agree on there occasionally being new colorways that catch my eye in the flood of garbage though; Knicks I's, Suns VIII's, and the Black/Infrared23 IIILabV's are strong pairs.
I do exactly that and yes IMO it definitely diminishes the significance of the shoe line.
I agree about the CW, so what if there are a billion cw of the shoe, cop what you want. I just think it diminishes the significance that particular shoe line when you compare it to other lines is all.

Doesn't matter, 3M with durabuck or some cheap ashy suede you guys still buying this retro. Ain't nothing new just give Jordan Brand your direct deposit.
GMP 6's though. Makes me want another pair.
Hold a the iPhone flash to your white infrareds, I can't be going blind lol clearly there is some sort of reflective material in those holes. I'm in broad daylight though, I'll check again whenever I'm in a darkish room.I see no 3m
[thread="540677"]trips me out how ppl remember release dates and seasons. it was 20 something years ago. i have a pretty sharp mind and know where i was at and what i was doing in high school 20+ yrs ago but days shoes released was not one of them.[/thread]
Whoa! I didn't purchase the white/infra's this year (dumbfounded doubled up on the white/varsity reds back in '10)...Something weird I just realized while wearing my white infrareds ...
3M or some sort of reflective material on the upper? Strange.
