I have more than I'll ever need, and probably have a handful still in store for me. That being said, I guess I'm in the boat with the old-schools cuz this Air Jordan business was once like a secret society, all we ask is trust.
I can always find a Retro+ I'm down with but OG colors bring bacc memories of my childhood. I have always been a Western Conf. fan so every year in the Finals, I got to watch MJ destroy whatever team I chose to roll with that season. I literally grew up watchin him almost nightly on my WGN-Chicago affiliate channel 26. So when a certified NT OG like Ninjahood states the obvious, u really just gotta respect it and keep it movin.
Ninjahood has been a real part of the NT community since before I was a member, hell I'm sure before I even started lurkin 4 or 5 years ago. I don't always agree with everything he says. But I can always see the validity in his statements. U guys recognize the difference in that ?
I disagree that Foams are the best $200 u will spend. I've never had a pair and with the exception of Royal Penny Foams have never wanted a pair. But, for the type of G i am when it comes to respect, I don't got a problem at all with ninjahood crushin these varsity-red 6 in favor of Copper Foams.
I also do not agree with this colorway and will not be scooping these anytime soon. If they go to the Happy Hunting Grounds for a reasonable rate I'll cop and beat them like the second-rate Infared step-child that they are, but its no big deal either way. White/Var. Reds, though, yeah I'm on it.
In closing, I just want "young" NTers like my boy seanj to realize that with experience comes knowledge, and those who have come before us and are still here are a vital link to all that was pure about this so-called "sneaker game" so many legends are now absent from the boards or rarely post anymore cuz there are so many hypes and know-it-alls who bash the AJ 1 bein retroed heavily but don't even know the history of the AJ 1 and that it originally released in 1985-86 in OVER THIRTY COLORS both highs and lows. So why wouldn't new-millenium Nike do the same thing ?
Peace be unto you this Sunday.

this comment is for ninjahood: I agree with the majority of everything you say on here espacially about these retro 6s and I respect you as a jordanhead but come on now do you really think that jordan brand should keep retroing the same colorway over and over again. After a while, it gets kind of annoying. I feel you with you saying that these 6s suck, but I speak for everyone on here that they want to see something new. I will be 30 years old looking for the same release over and over. I want jordan brand to change up colorways I always wanted them to come out with a black and blue retro 13 but no not going to happen because they want to releas the same sh%% over and over. The quality issues is understandable because they are not like the previous shoes but the same colorways contibously no way. Thats why everyone is big on fakes go on a fake website look at one shoes many of colorways go on a nike website look at one shoe 4 or 5 colorways thats pathetic. People want variety just lke cereal I dont want to eat frosted flakes the rest of my life give me a f^^^&&ing variety. Not trying to start beef with anyone on here but ninjahood i hope you see where I am coming from as well as other niketalk members when I say this.
after the SJ release anything can go my dude no one knows how Jordan releases will go from here on out because of what happened to the space jamsOriginally Posted by fly1587

I got a lot of respect for you because you seem like a loyal dude but i can't say the same for Ninjahood after seeing the way his acting inthis thread. Some people in this thread has said his been on ISS doing the same thing in the 6 VR thread there. I understand he don't like the shoe butthere is no need for this madness it has to stop.Originally Posted by Agent0024

Just let it go Ninja...these kids that cop these half !!* JB releases won't fathom the feeling of ever buying real Air Jordan retros that we once bought in the late 90s and early 2000s.
I don't give a fk if they aren't exactly like the Infrareds (actually, I think that was a deliberate design choice aimed at not pissing off the OG collectors, all in all very respectful of JB), they're close enough and the materials don't seem as bad as haters have been picturing them but most importantly, they're a [color= rgb(51, 0, 204)]new[/color] pair Jordan 6 I can rock day in, day out, 18 years after their original release (which in itself is already a pretty fk'ing amazing feat).
I love sneakers and Jordans and as long as I can wear something that reminds me of the good ol' days (which also happens to be as stylish and close to the OG's as these VI's) I'm happy. Ain't that the whole point of this whole "Retro" thing after all?
The same reason I got the Space Jams, and the same reason I will be getting these.
In 5 years, these and the 09 Space Jams will be 5 years old.
The retro Space Jams and Infareds will be 15 plus years old. Which pairs will you be able to wear????
That is how I have been looking at it.
