Most people who bought the kicks did it for Mike. OG colorways or the ones he played in.
Most young people don't seem to realize that.
That's why Nike can get away with making anything limited and slapping $500 on a pack where people only want one sneaker.
Do what you want to do, it's just funny to me seeing people pressed to get something when they have no attachment to the player they're supposed to represent.
bruh im 30 years old, young kids do not know who he was and all we get that. But if you like the sneaker you are going to get it regardless if its an OG Bred 1 or a brand new colorway like Melo 1s thats all, plus he wore them(pantones) courtside watching his team play
