They dont really cannibalize their weekend releases with a shock drop of a highly anticipated release do they? I always thought it was a weekday thing

They usually do it on a Wednesday or Thursday. I remember that the Air Jordan 13 had one on a Tuesday during August.

I specifically remember in 8th grade when the 7 came out people talking about how comfortable that inner sleeve and huarache technology was. Eventually I experienced that when the charcoal came out.
To this day I have a hard time deciding between the 6 and 7 in terms of aesthetics but I’d probably go with the Infrareds just cause of the impact they had for me personally. I do like the 7 colorways more than most of the 6’s though.

8s felt good back then also. If Jordan didnt like the 9 he wouldnt have worn them in the movie. 10s are still a great basketball shoe as well.

No, he is overrated. And NT gives him way too much credit and blame. He is nothing. None of us no what his pull in JB really is. Figure head status. At best. We here, have made him more than what he really is.

6s were way more iconic no doubt.

He probably liked those sales more than the shoe itself. There was no other way to display the 9 on his feet in a game to the public, they had to do some marketing. No way in hell were they passing up a chance to put that year's air jordan in a Jordan movie.

Yeah they are. But dont mean they are better. The 7 was looked at as a take down from the 6. But with better comfort and durability. Nostagia and hype says 6s are greater than 7s. Your feet will tell you different.

They made the movie after the 95 playoffs. The 9 should have been forgotten about by then. The 10 and 11 was seen by everyone that cared at that point. The 9 was in the movie because MJ chose that. My belief. He wasnt trying to sell that model at that time. He simply liked it.

Out of 6's and 7's nothing touches a raptor 7 to me.

He dont. And I get it. But I love 8-10. Period of time in life along with memories trump a design concept.

8s are my favorite. Like a couple 9s and the Shadow 10 is a Grail. Based on looks for me.

lol
I have a soft spot for shadow 10s and aquas. Im more into Jordans from a style/aesthetic perspective now. Those Jordans are real childish to me. The red button on the back of the 9, the wacky 23 on the strap of the 8s along with the 'air jordan', the cheesy accomplishments gimmick on the 10s. Tinker fell off after the 7 until the concords design wise, its like he went through a slump or something until he found some patent leather. Coincidentally, 7s and 11s are the best to play in

Talking about those 3, all OG models of the 8 and 9 are great. The Chicago 10 ties greatly to my dad,along with the aqua, which is a big deal.

Every thing you mentioned about aesthetics is the reason why the Fire Red 3-5, and Carmine 6 are always in last place to me. Too much red. The Carmine 6 looks like kid shoes to me, especially with the weirdly shaped 2014 retro.
Idk what it is about the Bordeaux 7 from 1992 and 2015, its just prime color blocking to me. The 7 is one of the best models, but they can’t design colorways right after Tinker and the Og team. The Aqua 8 is perfect to me, even the 2007. The 6 is a great silhouette, but honestly I don’t think Gentry and folks after Tinker and the OG design team ever knew how to design a good retro+ colorway. The best retro+ 6 end up being the ones inspired by the blk Infrared(dmp) and Carmine(Gatorade and Oreo).
