I HAD TO LET MY OPINION OUT,,,Originally Posted by a7rome
I'm sorry...when I speak in terms of quality I am speaking in reference of comparison to the OG counterparts...None of them feel as good as OG's, but I mean at least the aquas looked the part...
Anyone who remembers, or in this case still wears their OG's, knows that the way they make J's today is far from quality, Not only can they for some reason not make them match the look of the OG's, but they make them as cheap as they can make them and still call them authentic and still charge the same High price or higher than they did 10+ years ago...
They can do this because the younger generation has no basis of comparison...this is why I take the chance of being looked at as a cynical old geezer of the shoe game, and voice my unhappiness about how this brand has changed its morals, values , and mission statement from the glory days that these young guys don't even remember...
I mean I read a post where someone stated the reason he wanted these was they came out on his first birthday....Like he actually remembers waking up that day and heading to footlocker just to touch and feel the New J's...No offense to him, but if they really new they would be just as upset as I am that JB somehow couldn't find the extra pennies to add a red pull tab to this shoe, and paint the midsole black like they were supposed to...
But hey, maybe I shouldn't complain I mean they did save me some money by making it easy to pass on these poor replicas....
All I ask is Look at as many pics as you can of the actual 8's, preferably with MJ wearing em in game action, and tell me you think they did the right thing on this one....

But I still think the Aquas are hotter than these. I just like the color scheme better.
Nah, they came through on Christmas Eve. Sometime early in the morning. There was some confusion at first due to some inaccurate information onUPS' site, but I got em on time. Next day delivery.Originally Posted by blackcat23mj

Info on 3rd shirt???Originally Posted by airjordanboy23
anyone know where i can get these 2 bulls shirts, they look perfect with the playoff 8s especially the 3rd one, i need it badly.
no offense...but Only a young kid could feel this way...
what does age have to do with anything?Knowledge outways age
I agree the quality of retros can never hold a candle to ogs, but we have been getting better quality retros in recent years
and being that i feel your pain over the lackluster quality JB has peddled to us over the years, there comes a time when you don't get everything you want,thats part of life. If you want that good ole OG quality, spend 300+ on ebay and I hope you can get a few good wears before the midsole crumbles like stalecookies. Otherwise take your 140+ tax you spent on the retro and get all the wears you want and enjoy the shoes for what they are, a REMAKE of a classic.
^^^ The midsoles are suppose to be black I am going to do these right. Il go with the spray paint and if that doesn't work il brush them with black paint I'l post the pics 1ce i am done. The grey midsole looks like crap
[table][tr][td][/td] [td]
do you see a black midsole on MJs own pair, hmmm?
[/td] [/tr][/table]
or this pair maybe?No i sure don't
but if you want to change yours shoes to make them like the way you think they were supposed to be then it was your money that you spent on them then dowhat you feel homey
