retros are waaaaaay more comfortable. ive had 2 OG's...tanks but wild stiff.
I played loads of ball in my OG taxis in the IM gyms and leagues during college. I didn't mind them but I remember definitely how heavy they were. More than one person who owned 12s back then commented to me, dude, I don't know how you're playing in those; they all just rocked their pairs casually. I thought it was a bit over the top on their part, but I also understood where they were coming from. But like is always said, the upside is that they WERE tanks. Those things took everything and every game I threw at them without issue. I don't even remember when or why I eventually tossed them. Probably two or three years later when I didn't play in them anymore and they were scuffed up and just taking up space in the back of my closet. I didn't think back then to keep all these shoes just for history's sake.The retro is softer, but not enough to make up for how they look in my view.
The OG was never UN-comfortable for me.
