I think they'd be better off including two OG colorways rather than one non-traditional OG colorway and one retro+ color that didn't sell well the first time around. I remember back in 2000 when the Laneys first dropped, stores couldn't give those away. Most places wound up slashing the prices close to $59.99, including Eastbay. It's funny how time changes people's opinions though. Many consider the Laney's grail status now. LOL.

Amazing how hype changes everything. I was in 7th grade when these originally dropped and you're right, stores couldn't give them away. They sat on display yellowing for months and in some stores over a year. I wasn't a fan of them back then and hype won't make me a fan now.

Wouldnt' be surprised, they added the 23 to the fusion grape v's, and with they way they have release retro 9's after the fusion colorways I can see JB laughing straight to the bank on this one.

Would be a great idea IMO. Two of my favorite V colorways, with the exception of the Fire Red's
