Gonna be working Friday night when they drop so said screw it ordered my size 11 off sneakerpost.com for $205 shipped.About $25 more than eastbay and about $5 more than nike.com (after tax shipping) - but no big deal to secure a pair for sure.

 @ all the people who think theyre so "special" because they have the inferior 2004 version. these look great and people actually hate to admit it.

the logo actually ties into the heart that the Dream Team of 1992 showed. they were one of the best teams of all time.

yea took alot of heart beating on bums

come on son i seen every 92 game stayed up hella late and $@+% just to see dudes pound on dudes who were worse than the iraqi national basket ball team.

they didnt show heart they showed SKILL. and just how superior they were and how inferior the world was back then.

@ heart

nice try though kid. "inferior"?

hey wahtever makes you sleep at night

these shoes look awesome... but i aint with that heart $@+% so you can quit with the sideways insults...

Idiots

you mad? dont blame anyone here. you blame dudes who got these heart vii's on ebay for $10 less than 2004 retros... i see no prices being driven up son. sorry




LOL it does take heart to make the rest of the world look like crap in basketball.

I stand by my statement that the 04s are/were inferior. Rock hard pleather and a different shape does not equal a earth shattering release quality wise. But hey, if these didnt have the heart logo, people would still find something to complain about. But if having your 04s makes you feel good and reminisce about the "good ol days", then more power to you bruh. we should all be glad that these olympic viis werent a re-release of the Miro viis

  


Do you have the 2004's?

Do you have the 2004's?
i personally dont have them, but have OG Raptors, have had French Blue VIIs, and have CDP Hares. I have also held the 2004's in hand many times. the shape from 2002-2004 VIIs is pretty off and they recently have started correcting the shape. and 04 Olympics have rock hard pleather (doesnt feel like leather to me, but the 2010 version likely won't either). From what I see, the only major differences are that the shades of navy are lighter on the 2010, the 9s face the OG position, and that the grey is slightly darker. The FTLOTG VIIs look like a good retro to me.

  

 

[spiderman2315]

I will have my pair of 2010's today.  I have worn my '04's a handful of times and I was happy with them except for how the front of the toebox had a wrinkle in it.  Can't wait to see how these look in person.

 

[big mike]

I had OG's back in the day. Going to have to try and hunt a pair down. Sometimes I think it's just the thrill of the chase.
