i honestly cannot believe there are people defending these retros when the evidence is as clear as day.
this is the main problem. as consumers we're confused as to what is a good retro because nike has been so hit and miss over the years.
we just make do with what we can because its "wearable" or we make silly excuses like "better comfort" etc etc
the only hope for us really is if nike pushes some of the late 80's/early 90's stuff into the 'vintage' collection. we'd get near perfectshape and faithful materials. but as it is we're always gonna end up with subpar trainers for the sake of ticking boxes on the re-retro list.
soemone suggested on CT that nike could easily get it right by putting a bit more money into retros (in terms of mouds etc) and as customers we wouldn'tmind paying a bit over retail for PERFECT retros; well i know i wouldn't.
but all this is highly unlikely cause the $$$$$$ reigns supreme
