I just PRAY to god they don't use a glossy paint finish, on the midsoles. That ish is ATROCIOUS!!!
Hopefully, it's the same exact finish, that was used on the 2014 release.
Neither will mine.
Here's my top 5.
All me, & from my IG page.

Agree with everything except the Metallic 5, top 10 for sure. But for me it will have to be the Chicago 10s only because it’s an og pair I would’ve never get to own.
Once I got a well paying job, I stop buying retros after the CDP packs came out (never owned any packs) and started pursuing 2005 and below. Back then when 99 Bred 4, Metallic 5 and all were all wearable but came at heavy price lol
The Chicago 10s though at the time though, were so damn expensive. The most I ever payed for a sneaker had to be the 2000 Olympic 6, paid almost 500 for them DS.
I eventually stop buying jordans all together, after seeing my pairs crumble right in front me. RIP my 2001 BC3, Chicago 2 .
Even so, as the WC4, Metallic 5, infrared and all these jordans were being retro, none of them really brought me back that feeling that I had.
Recently I’ve been getting excited hearing all these rumors, but I feel like I might be too late in the game, after seeing those suppose fire red 4 releasing. I guess sooner or later the 2014 and up retros are going to be the new “OGs” people are going to be pursuing. Heck Chicago 1s are going for 600+, that’s what an OG would’ve cost you back in 2005.
So I guess my advice is, if you are still planning on collecting/buying jordans double up on the black cements, WC4, Metallics, trueblue 3 etc... because in a few year those prices we see now would be consider steals.
