If those are the colorway they are releasing then the hunt for the 2002 pair continues.

I would have to agree.
But its still super early, 6 months before official RD so they could make changes.
Let's hope that happens.

"Ahh, just ignore them, they're complaining."
Nothing is going to change until people stop buying them and Jordans start loosing hype.
We just have to wait it out! This is just a phase!

I'm just saying though, look what complaining has done in terms of JB for the last decade, nothing.

This is true but as some one previously stated in this post , the vii pack that just came out a few years ago with this colorway sat and sat and were sold at discount , hell they still had a few packs in sz 7.5 at my Nike outlet dude said they can't give them away

And I would like to think that Nike/JB reps or associates lurk these forums for feedback. With all of the samples we've seen of WCIV's, BCIII's, etc...there has been major gripes made by members of this board and the samples were altered to give us the products that we saw that were and are somewhat to the satisfaction of the majority of the board I would venture to say.
Now, are the gripes the reason the samples were altered? I would like to think there is some correlation, but I am not naive enough to think there is a direct one.
I would still like to believe that there is some interest on the part of the design and implementation teams at Nike and JB regarding what their most loyal and dedicated consumer base feels.

I gotta agree with you.
I will wait and see "official" pics, not samples.
I gotta believe they'll darken the charcoal because they look like the 60+ pack's twin brother.
If you gonna saturate the market with releases of the same shoe only years after last release, at least make them as true to OG as you can.
JB, if you're reading this, please make this as close to the 1992/02 version because you'll get a LOT more money, trust me.

True, but overall, they still get their way on how the overall quality will be. Some are decent/good just so that people will still buy. Then they pull a fast one by charging $10 more, and totally cheapen it out with mismatched leather and a really cheap paint job (2011 BCIII's).Originally Posted by ninjahood

Well said. Of course Nike/JB reps lurk on here and other sneaker websites for some feedback, but they know that we are such a small population of their consumer base, so they only take it with a grain of salt. They are looking at the big $$$$$ picture. I don't think they care about the loyalist as much anymore. When the hype starts dying down, they will most likely cater to our needs in a quality Jordan retro sneaker.Originally Posted by rojanjon

I agree on some level. However, I think recently we saw JB responding to what some may refer to as "loyalist demand" when they released the Infrared Pack after the OG outrage over the form and hue of the Varsity Red VI's. I'm not putting a lot of faith in them, I'd be a more of a fool than I already am for buying the poor quality retros they release if I did.

I foresee them changing it because I doubt they'll release a shoe that identical to a pack.
