Spent the past couple days debating if I wanted these…amazing went to the mall this morning and doubled up. Amazing times I tell ya lol
I'd say Jordans were more advanced than other companies basketball shoes from the AJ 1 through the 14.
Even just the plastic and mesh they used on the 4s-5s-6s was more advanced than other basketball shoes because it cut weight and performed great.
Plastic and mesh isn't hi-tech, but for basketball sneakers that were mainly leather and rubber at the time, it was.
Definitely not washed, just smart. No way in hell I would pay that much.I love these shoes so freakin much. But can’t pull the trigger at 305$ (Canadian)
My first retro cement 3s in 2003 were 110.
I can’t do it man, it’s ridiculous at this point.
Guess I’m washed
I didn’t think I needed one pair, let alone 2…but God Did (Khalid voice)Debating if you need 2 pairs, or just 1 pair?
That's kinda the way it works

What are we even arguing about? We acting like Nike Basketball didn’t build itself off the back of Michael Jordan. And how are you going to compete against Adidas, Converse, New Balance, and Reebok with a subpar product. I was 11 when the 3 came out. Dudes in the hood were geeking from the looks. And obviously the man had the iconic dunk contest and other numerous feats in the shoe.Jordan's have always been made to be the best basketball shoes on the market technology and cutting edge-wise.
If he's not satisfied with the technology then that's on him.
But we buying Kith Lebrons and Off Whites?Definitely not washed, just smart. No way in hell I would pay that much.

Well, why stop at 10 if you’re “investing”? LolYes, I have a problem buying 10 pairs to hold so that in 3 years I can unload 8 of them that I paid $1808 for at $475-500 a pop like the '18 BC 3's and make about $3800-$4000
Kinda like a property I bought for $880K in Orange County in 2020 and as of today is now valued at $1.3 million
I apply the same logic to Jordan retros, OG colorways only lol
I admit, i have a problem![]()
invest now sell 10 years down the line when I’m 41Well, why stop at 10 if you’re “investing”? Lol
Bro long term investing….Jor
Well, why stop at 10 if you’re “investing”? Lol
You are exactly right. Which is why I have a problem lol I am constantly on the lookout for restocks LMAOJor
Well, why stop at 10 if you’re “investing”? Lol
It's obvious all you seem to care about in regards to technology is air bubbles, so I don't even know what to tell you.
I don't even think the AJ3 was the most advanced shoe Nike made in '88. The Air Tech Challenge and Air Trainer SC were probably more advanced. Hell, the Air Revolution, which is basically a high AJ3 with an ankle strap and forefoot wrap, was a more advanced basketball shoe and it released before the AJ3. And I don't think we can discount some of the advancements some other companies were doing - Reebok had the pump, Cons had Energy Wave (which was SUPER comfortable), Adidas had the torsion bar and the forgotten Intruder (John Starks' shoe from '94) had a sick wire frame the laces went around that gave full-foot tightening.
That's why I feel the early-mid '90s were the absolute pinnacle of sneaker design - all these companies battled for the best looking, most technologically-advanced shoes for every sport & activity. Nike had the best marketing, though, so a lot of people just automatically look back and say they were by far the best at everything when in a lot of cases it wasn't really the case.

And today…despite how ugly they are. It’s probably the flagship Nike basketball sneaker (tech wise), followed by the Lebrons and other lines.

I won’t lie. I stopped buying newer Lebrons and had to look up those Lebrons mentioned.![]()
