im just sayin that CB along with other - - - (insert your favorite rappers name here)--- are marketing tools for most clothing and sports companies, they get the *+!* people want for free.. so people would want em more and buy it eventually.. im not hatin really.. but i think its just plain wrong for some young people who didn't see jordan play and base the *+!* they want cuz they saw some celebrity wearin em sneakers..Originally Posted by BinYe

not any more
knowing that the raptors didn't even exist when the "Raptor's" came out is something that can separate true "Jordan heads" from others

90% makes sense since the sneaker community now is filled with young dudes (like myself) who probably didn't watch MJ as a Bull....but i still see it being just as bad as calling Black/red jordan's "breds" outside of the internet.

Well said! The topic is dead, you can call shoes whatever you want- but the retro's are called the raptor's (like it or not) by most- easiest way to describe them if you ask me. No need to be NT elitists talkin about if you knew that the raptors werent a team when the OG's came out = true "jordanhead"(just makes us a part of the glory days of basketball and means were getting old, lol)Originally Posted by prymone
horrible train of thought
you do realize 90 % off your sneaker community calls them raptors right?
there raptors who care what they were when they first came out when they RETROED the RETROS were called RAPTORS
no one refers to the og's as raptors, i dont, at least not that i see
but everytime i see retros your damn sure i call them raptors
and when the bordeauxs come out again im sure someone will make hem a nick name seein that the hood couldnt pronounce bordeaux for the life of them
hell i dont even know if i spelt it right
