If they weren't supposed to resemble the infrareds, they wouldn't have made the GS durabuck.
And the paint was plain sloppy on the VI, and on the box it sure doesn't say retro +
If you don't think the Varsity Reds are better quality than the SJ's then I don't know what to tell you. And for the record, I'm not salty
anymore that I didn't get these. In the end, I dodged a bullet. Are you salty sir that you dropped $175+ on a shoe that should be discounted on the sales rack in my Nike outlet? Let's not go there my dude, I have a great pair of '01 Black/Red that will outlast your SJ's in every aspect. And made to resemble the infrareds? What mainly black colorway of the VI's has released in tumbled leather? Don't worry, I'll wait. As far as the paint, mine look fine. The only pairs that I have seen with horrible paint jobs are the kids and infant sizes, which you all beasted over. Face it, you and a slew of others made it up in your own minds that these were supposed to be something that they aren't and weren't produced to be. Maybe some people don't want to wear hot pink and would rather wear red. I don't mind either and will cop the infra pack if it does indeed release.
I have both, so who speaking from a more knowledgeable perspective? I'm not even hating, I'm telling facts. Like I was saying, people keep talking about something they don't know about, trying to defend their purchase.
I have the 01' Space Jams and the 09's look a lot closer in resemblance than the varsity reds and infrareds, that is a FACT.
Varsity red painted over top painted a shiny black sole comes off dull, and no there were a lot of paint problems with the VI's. I've seen them on display models on the ones still sitting painted by people who can't stay in the lines. Just like the ones still on the shelves look ashy from people picking them up. I know, because I keep picking them up thinking, damn, this is how mine are going to look with time. I told my boy last week I won't wear them that much because they're uncomfortable, and are my most uncomfortable pair of Jordans.
The only thing I'm salty that I listened to NT and got up on a Saturday at 6:30 to get a pair of kicks that are sitting like Flu Games. I'm still salty that they @%#%+! up my grails.
Space Jams sold out for a reason. If you put them on ebay you can make a profit off the Space Jams for a reason.
Varsity Reds are sitting for a reason. If you put them on ebay, you won't get retail for a reason.
Both general release sneakers, that hadn't released in almost 10 years, totally different outcomes.
And VI's will be discounted on a sales rack in your local footlocker
Why did I get them, truthfully I don't know. I had serious mixed feelings purchasing them, because I knew they weren't that great going in, but I have the money and they were my grails. I felt I would regret not getting them more than regret spending $158 getting them.
