that is the gamble, but then again you should also know for sure that with the durabuck they use on the new retros they sure wont look that good for much longer than a year unless you only plan on wearing them a few times.

With that mentality you'll never get what you really want.
Why should you settle for anything you don't agree with.
You can compromise and try to meet in the middle, but this is lopsided and you THINK you have no choice.
That's exactly why things are the way they are now. If those True Blue 3's would have never sold well as well as all of the other CRAP they put out that we weren't happy with, things would be how we want them.
We control what/how they do things, we just have to realize it. Without us they won't be crap.
I'm waiting for someone to say oh we're only a small percetage of the sneaker industry. That maybe true, but we are a big reason why it is the way it is good and bad. By the way a couple of months ago when RockDeep would post up those sales figures the top selling Jordan for every month sold only like 100,000-125,000.
We're a 60,000 user community, along with other sneaker websites, and don't forget the 160's who cop multiples and regular user who cop multiples 60,000 x 2 = 120,000. So don't tell me we are a small percentage...to me we are the percetage.
You guys may not realize it, but we have the power to make them do what we want them to do. It doesn't matter anyway nobody is going to listen anyway as long as they have their fresh J's.
One day you'll all understand when you get older and your priorities change, trust me. You'll all see what I'm talking about when they re-release all of this crap that they are releasing today that you'll all be hoping they release when you're older.
You know why? Because for nostalgia reason's you're going to want what you had when you where young.
You're going to want the DTRT 3's just as they came out... not with subtle changes and tweaks that mess up the whole look of the sneaker because that's not how you remember them when you where young, and that's not how they looked on your feet. I know this is falling on deaf ears, but one day you'll understand what I'm talking about...hopefully.
Amen x 2

Well I can tell you this... my black cat iv's have been through playing ball, having beer spilled at them at the bar and are worn regularly and still look great. Yeah they are creased in the toes but that personally doesn't bother me because shoes do that when you wear them!!! IMO, the black cats were the best quality ivs from 06. If the black cements in the packs are anything like those, I personally will be happy with them!!
