But where did you see rumors that more than just the Chicagos are coming out in 2015? I could see JB possibly dropping the white based OG 1s in 2015, but not the 2013 OG 1s again.

lolz- JB spin at its finest.
JB execs: look just tell these dumbass kids that we're aware our product is rubbish but we are going to improve quality
JB PR guys: Ok- so how are we going to improve the quality
JB execs: we're not
JB PR guys: SO what do you want us to do
JB execs: just tell them how we'll change up processes and factories and that we can't make things like the old days because some practices are illegal-they'll love that crap- they'll think we really care
JB PR guys: grabs phone .. dials.. sole collector- we've got an exclusive interview for you.

Zac Dubaik: Is this remastering of the retros limited to particular shoes, or is it the way they’ll all be done?
Dave Schecter: We are going to be remastering our whole retro line starting Spring 15. It’s comprised of a couple different factors. One, we have the most highly qualified colleagues in Asia at the factory level who are working on our retro products. We have really high standards for production and quality controls. That’s one big part of it, and that kicked in last year actually, so we’ve been doing that for a while. And then the next piece is that we’re going to be, starting with Spring 15, all retro models in men’s are going to be redone, meaning new materials and getting as close to the original construction as humanly possible. It’s a pretty big deal.
Why was Spring 15 chosen as the time to launch this new method?
DS: Well we needed a way to get our loyal fans to buy the same shoe again. Our gimmick for 2013-2014 respectively was to bring back the Nike branding on certain key models albeit with low grade leather. Moving forward though, we decided to offer Premo Bin quality on all models and also dig up those non existent OG molds to replicate what was offered in the past, but at a premium price. We figure if our customers are willing to pay astronomical markup prices to 3rd party distributors, not to exclude Grey Markets, we might as well reap the rewards ourselves.
On top of our recent price increase our fans should also expect yet another price hike, but this time the quality of the product will match what one would expect at such a premium price point.
To get this point across to our fans we purposely released the Jordan 1 Varsity Red/White/Black or "Chicago" with below average leather, "was that even leather?" and Jordan Branding so that next year when we launch this new campaign with that flagship model they will have something recent to compare it to.

Repped. They're basically admitting their quality is terrible lately, this is why the 'LAB' series is +$55 MSRP because the quality is better.

that means its not b-grade..
b-grade has the b-grade stamp on the tag
just because its from a outlet doesnt mean its b-grade

Nah can't knock you, but I don't see any reason JB couldn't give us both
