Qft -I worked it out that I paid less than $750 total for my OGs ....Obsidians alone were $78

 (all size 10)

I wonder if the 2012 versions will still have "quality inspired by the greatest player ever"? ....that's a rhetorical question btw.

BUT are any of those og's wearable?  I understand the collecting standpoint as well as the nostalgia, and even the hunt for the og's, but what about actually wearing and enjoying the shoe for its purpose?  I will take Some less quality in order to preserve the og flair.  If ogs are wearable, wouldn't you rock 2012 versions so you wouldn't eff up og's?  I would sure hate to be in a bar with ogs on, or at a a state fair, or even a court.  JB is smart...this is what everyone wants.

I've beat my OG playoffs to DEATH....last winter I shoveled snow from my driveway in them and they are still together. No separation at all. The ORIGINAL XII is a tank of a shoe. I had the first retro of the playoffs, but I sold them. They just didn't compare. I can only imagine what these will end up like...especially after the last batch of XIIs.

I hope the am in the qam doesnt stand for air max, thus the shoes having an air max sole ala the 2.0.

Playoffs and Obsidians are must cops. Pass on the Taxis, still got my CDPs in tip-top condition.

This is the best news I've heard out of Jordan Brand in a long time... Obsidians will be copped, hopefully doubled up on. And Playoffs are my all-time favorites, I need a new pair to put my OGs away.

And low-key, I can't wait to see these Cool Grey colorway. Always thought some all grey XII would be fire, can't wait for some pics.
