While I can appreciate that you've been hitting us with some crazy retros the last couple of years (small air bubbles aside), we can both agree there have been some mis-steps. (strange colorblocking, cheap materials on occasion, HOH over GR and vice versa, etc...) With the Barkley line in particular, we've seen some hits and misses, and we've also seen retros and retros of shoes that we love and shoes that nobody really seemed to be thirsting for all that much. I was happy that you re-retroed the Air Force Max B in the OG black colorway, but not quite as happy with the strangely shaped tongue and super-short toe-box. Still, I copped and still rock them nonetheless.
But these here have been neglected since they first retroed in 2001 while we've seen every other colorway under the sun and almost every other Barkley so far (only thing left is CB4s and strap CB34's in OG colors). This is my current pair but through age the leather has gotten somewhat darker/dingier in a way that can't be scrubbed off and they're just not quite as crisp as they used to be. I really need new pairs. Thanks.
