What are these? I've seen them before, don't know what they are. Def not Cavs, but the colorway is similar. Thanks!

If you read my post on the previous page, that's exactly what I said about the premium standard:

Let's put that to the test. I quickly put together a table with the retro shoe prices as laid out by scollard23 and the respective buying power for each year. Some interesting things to note here: if we only go by inflation, you'd have to pay almost twice the money for the same 100 dollar shoes...

I want to add that I'm not defending Nike in any way. I feel the discussion is important, so I got carried a bit there with the length of the post. No harm done. :smokin Yes, Nike has money. A lot of it. I'm sure if they wanted to, they could find a way to make shoes for a dollar and sell them...

This. Of course inflation is a factor in making up the final cost of a product (any product, not just Nike / JB shoes). If you didn't know that, you shouldn't be buying shoes anyway. However like seandon23 said, the market and economy were different back then. It is very plausible that Nike...

Great pics, bwsteg! I missed out on the '88 Retros but I have to admit your side by side pics made me glad I got the FRs instead. Been using all week as beaters and have received lots of compliments (no cracking yet either--knock on wood). To me the FR has more character to it, while WCs are...

I'm not one to post pics of my shoes, but I participated in a video project in which you can see my Grapes. Hope you like it :)

story of my life smh...

That's sad.

Thanks, I hoped that wasn't the case... Oh well time to look for nice AM 90s to beat to the ground :)

Laced up my Grape Vs the other day and noticed the toe box started creasing in a way that pushes down on my feet. It's something that will probably go away later as I beat the shoes, as the same thing happened with my Bulls 1s. However I was lucky enough to find an '06 DS pair of the Vs and...

I'm not going to lie, but I like Jordans because as Tinker Hatfield said at TEDx, Michael Jordan is a provocateur and that's how I see the designs of the shoes themselves. I was born in the 90s, was never interested in MJ or ball since about 10 years ago. My mom made me wear brown shoes with a...

I received my confirmation email from NDC Europe, ordered one pair for myself and a GS pair for my 10-year-old sister. Yes, I'm already spoiling her hahaha 170€ for men's sizes was hard to swallow (around $220), thankfully I had 20% off and free express shipping codes lol

This. I don't know if a restock will happen (I hope so), but not getting these is not the end of the world. NDC Europe actually has some new Roshe Mids now and I kinda liked the Tokyo colorway so that's where I'm spending my money. Last time I checked, eBay prices are still crazy for the '88...

Most everything on the web is very US centric so the notion that not everyone is from America fades into silence... But we are here, strong and big. Lol :) I'm personally a newcomer Jordan fan and would love to wear these 88 retros because they look nice. Not because I'm out there to make a...
