Both.
If you like them then buy. The majority of people that post here are all about the retro releases of Jordans.
Personally I think the newer models JB releases are straight up junk. If the Flight Origins were of better quality and got rid of that ugly air bubble as well as the wack ankle...
Ah yes that pair is the coveted "Jordan Phase 23 Stay On Rack II". It is very rare for the fact that nobody owns one, so congratulations on breaking the mold bud.
For those who seeing what length of lace you need for the 3s...depends how you want them laced. 39-41" you can lace all the way to the top eyelet but won't be able to actually tie your shoes; you'll have the end of the laces sticking out.
Usually 6 eyelet shoes come with either a 40-46" length...
Any Toros that have cracked yet? I'm about to pickup a pair privately at a great price. I heard these were much better in quality versus the 2012 4s, I hope that is true.
^ not only that the elephant print is way off. Black is too thick and even the pattern on the front near the toebox does not come close to matching the authentics.
Here's a comparison pic:
For me I can wear these with anything. Definitely a casual shoe I'll be using as beaters. Maybe get 2.
So if the military base doesn't have a footlocker then SOL? Got a buddy up in Minot, ND.
