Pretty much. If anything, those models, that again aren't as popular and go on sale, but are released constantly, only make people notice and value retro releases all the more.

There's no logic here. Considering something to be a ripoff of something else doesn't then mean that the "ripoff" is devaluing the original creation. Numbered retros are selling more units, at a higher price than ever, and at the same time there are more non-numbered Jordan models than ever, but somehow numbered retros are being devalued? :rolleyes Ignoring biased opinions, they most certainly aren't.

So with this logic, besides financially, fakes don't devalue the OG retro models either?

There is too much time between now and release day and its -5 degrees outside.

You're comparing a company producing, selling, and profiting off of its own products to other, smaller, overseas companies creating and selling knockoffs, wherein the original company is now making no money, and is therefore being cheated? :rollin :lol
 
I didn't know a company could rip itself off.

Yeah you can rip off a previous design.. The AJ1 mid is based off the design of the OG with some major additions. Futures did this with the XI tooling and True Flights seem to heavily draw from the VII... But at the end of the day no other model rips off an OG retro model as hard as the AJ1 mid does to the AJ1 OG.

You said "devaluing the creation" not "devaluing the company"
 
What would you all do if breds, Royals, shadows and black toes dropped in a mid. Top notch quality, NA branding, no jump man on the back and limited numbers? The turn would probably go 0-100 real quick lol
