Happy New Year NT
Okay so over the past few weeks I have had some time off and been making my rounds to visit people and what not. Of course since the snow let up justafter Christmas here in the Chi I have been able to rock a few J's. Anyway people have asked why I stopped copping like I use to, so I was at the cribthinking about it and looking at some of my J's and I think the main thing is the details have slipped by JB's waist side.
I wrote about it earlier on my site and basically when an OGcolorway comes people get mad excited... I mean for the most part I do to. Now let's take for example the Steel X, I was happy, not overly but still happywhen they were coming back, however when I saw them in real life I was almost offended that JB half stepped on the toe of the shoe and left the extra leatheroff. This type of thing just goes to show that with any product whether JB or any other brand... when you miss the little things it doesn't go unnoticed. Ithink the killer for me was changing the color on the heal of the Aqua VIII's... that part was so critical to the shoe in my opinion. Anyway I know qualityis not ever going to be the same, and I know they have to make some changes so OG collectors are still happy, but why change the whole integrity of the shoe?It's not just the NIKE AIR on the shoe for me that doesn't much bother me, only shoe that I REALLY miss the Nike Air on is the IV but after seeing whatthey did to the CDP IV there was FAR FAR too much to point out wrong with that shoe than just a Nike Air on the heal.
Anyway just my $.02 was wondering if those slight changes differences are swaying anyones decision to purchase?
