BORDEAUX 7S JULY 18th 2015

Do you agree that this is uncalled for? Especially how bad da last retro was. Additionally, he has done this several times and gets old, (while posting fakes). He should be punished and ashamed for this. Most of us look at everything pros and cons. I don’t see any pros to doing this do you?

Very hurtful to gentlemen like you and I that live for this kind of nostalgia with an iconic piece of history. Why is he one of the main news sources?

Not really understanding the comment above about the last retro being trash. The 2015s were near perfect. Some people had a bit of a bump in the toe box, but mine were fine and comfortable. If this retro goes back to that horrible light grey midsole I'll be passing hard; looks awful. 2015 was damn near close to the OG.

Got rid of my 2015s thinking these would retro again soon and it had been 10 years, and I'd like to get a half size up. If they screw it up somehow I'll be super disappointed.

I was confused too last retro was amazing
 
The last retro in my opinion had unacceptable materials and aged very poorly. The only other VII retro I can think of that was made worse was the 2011 Cardinals. But yes I was happy with everything else except the toebox.

The other (minor imo) thing I remember a lot of NT complaining about was that the multi color scheme on the tongue wasn’t similar to OG (either in color tone, or the pattern of it, I forget)

It's honestly a commonly shared sentiment by people that don't give a **** about accuracy to the OG. I remember reading the same thing back in 2015.
I prefer the 2015s myself, but I also know that people that are on NT in general (OG/Accuracy enthusiasts) are a minority.

Seemed pretty OG to me (and I had the OGs). Not sure how they aged for you, but I wore mine regularly and they aged perfectly fine.

To the other poster's comment about others preferring the light midsole, I understood that to be those who had the earlier retro and weren't used to what OG actually looked like.
 
I have a feeling when these finally retro they’re going to do that silver midsole to appease Gen Z. Hopefully the individuals that helped with the Jordan 3 or 13 are working on these.
I’m 31 and i definitely prefer the 2011 pair.
but i respect the 2015 midsole is closer to the OG, that shape and fit was TERRIBLE though
 
I need for the next release, to be identical to the OG in materials, because I can’t stand that hard cardboard type of materials, they used on the last release. It wasn’t super bad, but I need for the materials to be tad bit softer like the OG’s.

2015 retro was near perfect aside from the toe box bump. People complaining about the materials don’t remember the OG. The 2015 was nearly identical in terms of materials.

As far as color patterns on the tongue I think it’s subjective, but I like pairs that had a lot of yellow in the pattern.

The 2015 Hares were near perfect too, and didn’t have the toe bump.

Hares were definitely not near perfect. It had the tight neoprene on the toe and a weird shape compared to the Bordeaux retro of the same year. Not egregious, but a subpar shape nonetheless. Agree with everything said about the Bords though, and on feet you couldn’t even see the bump. Materials were solid on that retro compared to 2011, had that Durabuck feel.

Love both retros and ironically only still have the Hares from that year despite doubling on both but yeah, can’t wait for a comeback.
