Heres my opinion:
I know ima get a lot of heat on this topic but its been on my mind for a while.
I hate how people only seem to like OG colors. Why, just cuz their OG??? IMO OGs are over hyped and overrated.
For example lets talk about the 8s.
We know no one liked the recent pea pods, and orange stealths, but we also know damn well many and most of you would have like these if they first appearedaround 1993. And it Vice Versa with the OGs, come on now lets be real, how many people would have actually liked the aquas if they werent OGs???
I bet that if the pea pods were OGs and the Aquas were released last year for the first time their selling aftermath would have been the complete opposite, peapods would have sold out and Aquas would be hitting sale racks in a couple weeks. You know its true.
It's not just 8s either.
If grapes, carmines, those 7s from MJ vs Mike Jackson commercial, aquas, and shadows were not OGs everyone would be hating on those, talking about how JordanBrand has been putting out crap and all this other stuff you guys be saying.
Lets put in another more recent example.
Those limited basketball leather 22s, them!!@!%* are ugly!! But i bet in a couple years when they retro those along with some different color 22s that end uplooking real fresh, those basketball leathers will be selling out and the fresh new colors wont.
If you think this way maybe you can school me on why, maybe i dont get it. I know a lot of people are going to be responding oh its cuz hes a youngin' andhe just dont get it, well here is my response to that, na its not even that im young and i dont get it, there is nothing to get, all those shoes i listed arejust plain ugly.
For the record i dont like any of the shoes i have talked about or named in this post, new or OGs.
Let me know what you think. Damn hopefully people dont start getting all butt hurt, i just want to know if im alone on this and if so then why.
No its not seeing him perform in the shoes, i am also a collector and collect because of the stories that come from behind the shoes, i get what you are sayingon that, like i said maybe i didnt get to see him on all his ships but i saw half, and ive seen tapes of all the other ones and many reg season games.
Im not hating on all OG colors, some are real fresh.
I know that collecting Js is not only about shoes that seem to be "in" because thats not why i collect, i collect because i loved seeing MJ play inhis kicks, but that dosent mean ima go get some ugly shoes just because he wore em, id rather just watch the tapes over and see him wear them and ill get theOG colors that i actually like, thats one of the reason why i collect T-Macs as well, i buy what i like because i too know of the stories that come with theshoes.
