You guys should be happy Jordan Brand decided to bring back these Original Classics.
where are these original classics you are talking about? OGFreshReady will tell you this "mars" variant is not it. it's not the fire red IV ANYMORE.
@ you for thinking it is. this isn't a classic son. hate to break it to you.
no JB should be the one happy that there are enough hypebeasts that will buy a shoddy product. ask method man.
i like how people act as if JB is doing us some kind of favor. REALLY? are they giving me shoes? nope.....they're trying to make a huge profit off of me. JB should thank ME for all the times i bought their shoes since 1990.

They don't care about us.INFERIOR leather quality and the on-going missing NIKE AIR logo will BE their demise - slowly but surely.
Man business is abt money, no JB doesnt care about you. They care about your money. Listen all these releases by "JB" are "RETROS" not replicas. I hope ya know the difference. And why would they put Nike Air on a JB product? Yes they may have a special release down the road with nike air on it but by no means is JB gonna lose the jordan logo and start using nike air all the time. As for the inferior leather i must say that all leather creases at some point, JB didnt make these shoes for those of us NTers who buy kicks to tuck away in a dark cool closet wrapped in plastic. Or those of us who like to crunch up their toes and walk funny so toe box stays in-tack. No they made these for the masses, which is why they are a GR. They are meant to be worn. Ya stay complainin about all the wack retro colorways and when they give us a very good OG retro ya still crying. And if you believe that this is JB demise you are crazy or havent been around long enough to understand the popularity of jordan sneakers. many of the ppl buying these have never even seen this jordan colorway or even model before and have no idea why spike lee is on the heel. Then you have others like me who know what it was like in the 4th grade wishing my parents would buy me these.
All in all JB will not take an L on this and will sell these jordans easily. "U" do not represent the average jordan buyer and that is what you have to remember. sorry for my rant man. I have rocked my first pair twice already and plan on buying another just because I CAN now. So fresh
Now ever since i can remember i been poppin my collar, poppin poppin my collar............

the blk/silver V and fire red V are retros and they're replicas. a replica is a close reproduction of the original. that's the definition. none of the retros today are replicas anymore.

uhhh why did they in 1999-2001?

uhhh we're talking about quality of leather...not creasing. all shoes crease.

i know he didn't just say that to OGFreshReady...someone who's been wearing them since when? 1989?
you know who else thinks JB will see it's demise eventually? RockDeep, Billy Hoyle, T2Judgementday, and many others. those guys haven't been around either? stop before you lose anymore credibility
obviously this is another one of those dudes who doesn't have the ability to tell what a quality shoe is. i feel sorry for these joe sixpacks. they ruin the game and they don't even know it
i've seen variants that look better than that homie. Shoes 101 is adjourned. sorry i had to own clueless posts like those.
Quality ObsessedTeam DisgruntledI need XI laces in good condition!! White or Black....PM me or email me if you have them

You need to quit. You represent a new breed of troll. You do realize that all the OG heads don't make up the biggest demo for JB don't you? You guys are in the minority. It's proven by the number of high school teens at the malls with rainbows of jays.
Watch these disapear. Every baller, fake thug, drug dealer, and trend rider will have these. As has been the case for many years. Nothing new here. On top of that your an "empty whiner". Meaning that you complain and then buy retros. It's cool though since many on here are the same way. You think your grapes in september will be any better quality wise? You think your anus is any better than anyone elses? I doubt it. You did prove a point. And it's that when it comes to JB everybody has a price. Ours is mars, yours is grapes. One way or another they are going to cash in. And when you step out of line, just remember, there will always be sombody behind you waiting to step up.
And ruining the game? What game? They're just shoes. We buy them, we wear them. The only parts to your so called game I see are reselling shoes and storing them in closets, then taking them out to show other people on NT for years on end. Pathetic all the way around. And calling them joe six packs is also rediculous. When you copped your first pair of jays, did people call you names? So why not let the younger crowd have some fun?
I wonder if you complain to your GF as much as you do to us? Seriously, Ive never seen a grown man complain so much.
As for everyone else, follow these rules when dealing with jumpmanatl:

i know some of you are upset about the quality and are not going to buy it, but just because someone else does like the shoe doesnt make that person more/less of a shoehead/collecter. i'm not taking either side on this because no, i didnt have the chance to own the OG and to me the pics of the shoe make it look nice, TO ME. so can we please quit *****ing back and forth on who actually cares about "the game" more?
Your right. My complaint is that those who don't like the shoe are:
1. Clowning those that do and claiming that they don't know anything.
2. Are purposely ruining the release (or anticipation of it) so others can't enjoy it. *cough* jumpmanatl *cough*. I guess it's true, misery loves company.
TRANSFERING FALL '06

Everything the shoe has to offer?
yeah as in wearing them. OGFreshReady wants a pair that he can WEAR and relive again. oh yeah you didn't own them so you wouldn't know what that feels like....oops....maybe that's why the changes don't bother a lot of you folks.....haha of course. OG's are nice to have in the collection, but retroing them doesn't take away the value at all. at the end of the day the old og heads want a replica (close reproduction of the original for all you morons) of a shoe they used to own.
what was your first pair of Jordans i wonder?

damn skippy. if i've put just one person off from buying the shoe then i've done my job. i enjoy the reactions i get from you "collectors" and i just enjoy putting down a shoe that doesn't deserve the hype. sorry hypebeasts.

haven't bought a pair of retros this year. and since you obviously pay attention to what shoes i want to buy (damn dude) you would've noticed that i also said that i'd cop the grapes, militaries, and 23 V's ASSUMING JB doesn't @#%$ it up. well they have. every release that i plan on buying is tentative.
