I really have nothing against guys who don't see, understand or even care about my perspective. I understand that the "look" or some variation of an OG is fine for most people.
But it shouldn't be difficult for those same people to understand and respect why those who owned og's hold Brand Jordan to a slightly higher standard. If JB never released retros as replicas, our stance would be weakened. If JB chooses to continue to go away from the essence, the price SHOULD NOT go up. I don't even see how that's debatable between CONSUMERS.
The issues that people complain about would benefit the MAJORITY if those wishes were granted. You wouldn't see many people talking about "please take away the Nike Air", "give me Payless pleather", "the original retail price was too low, we want to pay more", "the quality is too good",
If you're happy with how things are, why even bother wasting energy to address the 'whiners?' You're getting what you want...you got it made. Soooo much "heat." Enjoy it.
When guys complain about the quality of the shoes, their ranting and complaining is for the sole purpose of changing the products only. When you dudes, who get what you want, tell the complainers to "stop complaining", "get over it", "buy or don't buy", you seem to do it with the sole purpose of pissin' someone off or to belittle anyone who doesn't see it your way. Yeah, some OG head say some dumb like "noobs" and "you didn't own any og's", but usually that is in defense of the backlash they get from those who have nothing to be mad about.
Just remember, if those common wishes of the "complainers" are granted, YOU WILL STILL BE IN LINE. I still have yet, since we knew of the change, to see at least FIVE people requesting those leather wings and tabs to come back for the retail release of the militaries...
But yeah, stop complaining right?
chitown4eva, thanks for that post. Wow, that's putting it into a tidy summary/perspective.

A retro is exactly that, a replica of an original made for today..
Retro - Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of things past; retrospective: As is often the case in retro fashion, historical accuracy is somewhat beside the point
Replica - A copy or reproduction of a work of art, especially one made by the original artist.
Retro and replica are two very different things.

If you honestly expect something to stay the same in price for 17 years you've got to be an idiot.
That's sort of true. Except JB is asking us to pay $$$ for shoes that have the same quality of payless shoes. I know about the whole "If you don't like it, then don't buy it!" thing, but I mean come on you can't expect me to pass up on all of these releases. Hopefully, JB will read 1 of the many threads and either lower his prices atleast $10-$20 or make the quality better. JB owes us that much because without us they'd be a flop just like L.A. Gear.

Hookup needed for NYC...who's sellin dese early?
All over NYC got them early. But does it really make sense to cop them early when they come out in 5 days? Be patient. But if you are so compelled to have them, arm a unlimited ride metrocard, a iPod full of songs, and travel all over the city to find them. Thats all the info you need.
