Nike's recent retros disgust me.

you do realize if they drop a retro that was identical to the OG, that would kill the value of the OG. What would be the purpose of even having OGs? How would you tell the difference?
Idk about you but, I'd be pissed of i broke my neck to find some OG only to find that nike was dropping a pair that was identical.
A good majority of OG shoes are unwearable, so having a properly done retro would be like a godsend to most. A wearable AND affordable shoe,faithful to the original. If OGs decrease in value, so be it. Prices are outta control anyway. Anybody paying way over retail knows they're gettingscrewed, so they can't be too mad.
I was most disappointed with the Air Stab, I had a pair when they originally released, and loved them. Was happy to hear they were being retroed. Disappointed at what they did with it. They screwed up the shape, mostly crap colorways (they couldn't even get the OG colorway right)...just ain'tthe same. At this point I would much rather overpay resellers for vintage than buy anything new that Nike drops.
man.. nike please retro these hurarches.. colorways are SICKOriginally Posted by SoleAddict34
agree, the fire red IIIs are another example. the leather quality on those are so disappointing compared to the retros from '01 and '03. I remember when the now "premium" labelled shoe was just a GR.Originally Posted by Madhattan
more than the new shapes, its the quality of these new materials that is what really butchers some
of em more than others (like the Agassi's.)

finally, a modified RETRO of what it should be like:
notice the airbubble, painted splatter midsole, and gold check.
another "throw up in your mouth" release
