Pretty obvious that these are Varsity Reds and anyone calling them by any other name probably has problems in categories of their life beyond sneakers. Also, great story, enough negativity though, because I can honestly say that i don't care if you like them or not, have beef with the quality and/or nubuck or what what. probably a good time for you to stop paying attention to JB since they disgust you so much and start another stretch of not posting for a coouple of years.Originally Posted by TopOfNewYork
I stopped buying Jays when it got corny. I haven't posted in many years.
Remember the days when we used to have to hunt for a pair of red lasers 4s? It was like a treasure hunt with JB providing the clues. There weren't tons of websites devoted to sneakers with lists of release dates. You used to have to actually be a collector with some shoe knowledge and some store connections to get the hottest shoes at retail or close to retail. Anyway enuff reminiscing but I couldnt resist.
My point about these retros is they suck. This shoe is wack in nubuck simple as that but the quality of the nubuck is actually better than I thought. Although the nubuck used to be a dead give away for 6s and 7s fakes, (bootleggers couldnt recreate the suede especially cheaply i.e. the black and grey patchwork on the 7s they could only do nubuck) the quality itself of the nubuck beats bootlegger nubuck, thank god problem is now every real retro 6 looks exactly like a bootleg.
Why would they do that? of course the the jumpman on the back instead of the nike air will always be lame and look like a fake shoe.
What i really noticed on this shoe was the paint job. The imperfections are 2 numerous to count. Every pair I saw looked like it was painted by a drunk guy. Somebody couldnt stay in the lines with the crayons. its like Nike doesn't even produce shoes that have better quality and workmanship than other shoe companies.
My 6s from the defining moments pack are true retros. The bread 6s are look and feel like replicas even if they are made by JB.
People keep calling these infra reds all over the web its really annoying and a dead give away that you dont know anything about jordans.
1. So it got "corny" when shoes were released as GR?Originally Posted by TopOfNewYork

Children, HA HA...Dude I'm 30 years old and have been in this game for a hot minute. Defensive? Why pop on and spill negativity? Best offense is defense right?Originally Posted by TopOfNewYork
You children on here are so defensive its funny. I know your entire life is NikeTalk I used to be like that too.
I said they were true retros b/c they honored the materials, they didnt get cheap and cut corners.
Its silly to think JB is going to use the NIKE AIR they abandoned that when NIKE created JB as a separate brand they arent going to advertise nike anymore or ever again. The only reason to go back to it is to avoid the comparison to fakes. The problem is the game got out of control and JB no longer had to impress it consumers b/c dumb kids will buy JB at this point at any price no matter what.
Now most people on this site, im assuming actually are sneaker heads but most people buying Jays are buying them to conform. It used to be about retro b/c you had the ogs and maybe still have them. JB was reselling the shoe. But JB got all new clients now. These are first who dont know the history who dont know a damn thing about kicks or Jordans they just know the popular kids have them so they go get them. Once that happens its corny b/c the buyers have no leverage against the seller.
Im not a struggling punk kid/student anymore I never get to wear sneakers in large part I grew out of it and I actually have to wear real clothes everyday. Ive actually advanced beyond 150 general release shoes. You will 2 when you guys graduate get careers etc. However, Ive spent so much time and money on this stuff as a youth I like to buy some pairs just to keep deadstock and display as home furnishings.
I could I not buy a pair of general release 6s that are easy to get?
Blindly support JB no matter what they fed you, thats fine Im not beefing with that. Its another to get touchy b.c someone said the shoes are wack. I didnt tell JB to release and over release shoe after shoe flooding the game with garbage fusion after fusion and Im also not the one waiting in line to buy them. I wont be posted again but I will when I buy another retro if the quality continues to go down.
Also there was a time when this board was the mecca. When certain guys used to drop the inside info on here and we were the only people that knew about it. Its not that shoes should be exclusive everyone should be able to get a pair and pay retail but its cool to do a rare air thing every once in awhile b/c who wants a shoe everyone on the block has?
are you serious? to every shoe release i go to, most of the times the first people camping out/standing in line are 25-35 year old.Originally Posted by TopOfNewYork

its going to sit just like the 7 pack and 1's pack.
because be honest, the general public doesn't want any damn 6's pack.
If the DMP didnt come with the 11's, the %+%! wouldn't have sold.
the CDP with the 6's weren't one of the hottest selling packs.
AND the varsity reds are still in stores.
so what the hell has him thinking the infra red pack will be any different?
just buy what the +%+% u like, and stop hating on the %+%! other people like.
i hope you buy EVERY infra red pack that releases so you can have enough durabuck to last you for the rest of your life.
