i know shoes come and go then return but it feels wayyy to fast for these to be back already...has any other one came back this quickly before?
 
Bred 13s 2013/2017
bred 1s
Bordeaux 7s 2011/2015
Metallic 5s 2007/2011
White cement 4s 2012/2016

Couple more probably retrod again within 4 years.
 
I think the remaster is the reason for the quick turnaround for some. The 2013 Chicago 1, 2012 White Cement 4, 2012 Chicago 10 and 2011 Metallic 5 are the most hated versions of each colorway because of their horrific quality. They also were among the first og colorway remastered for each model. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2009 horrible quality Flu Game 12 that became ashy in the outsole within a year is why those were the first OG 12 to get remastered. Remember the remastered gig, which promised better quality was announced alongside their admission to double profits by 2020, so its smart to give better quality versions of recent duds. The 2014 Infrared caught a lot of heat too. I just think Jordan Brand is trying to course correct their most infamous retros first, then move on, and make next year their next huge year for profit.

Yeah, I think we all agree by now that the “remastered” program was a way for JB to raise prices under the guise that we would see continual improvements to releases. In reality, quality has been pretty inconsistent since.
 
Welp just sent my ds pair of 2014s to goat.
Hurt to do so but hopefully the 2019 will be the better retro overall.

Plus even if the 2019 is 220 ill still walk away with some cash, so thats a no brainer--well unless the retro turns out trash but im betting its gonna be better,
Nike air over jumpman anyway

I think they lowered the price to 200 now even more money saved
 
I sort of want to secure a pair of the 2014 version (just to wear until the 2019 version releases).
 
AT This point, I hope in 2019, they need to help us forget the early 2010s pairs ever existed. The 2016 met 5s made me forget the 2011 dropped lol. The 1991 and 2000 look great IMO. Jumpman 23 dropped this photo of when they were making the 2015 maroons. Need to keep it going. The maroon has a contrast upper of smooth and tumbled leather, so these deserve their PG contrast uppers too.

A photo from when Jordan brand was remastering the Maroon. The contrast looks clear as day. The most white Infrared look amazing

I would think that would be the pair they remaster from. Its so crystal clear in that pic. They have no excuses to not capture the heel detail. Its literally right in front of them.
 
I think it’s the designers at Jordan brand who chose not to make the 3 or 4 shape correct. They’ll sell anyway, and both shapes have been like how they are for over a decade. I think the 11 got a new mold because it’s their ace in the hole every year. Giving an OG mold makes the price jump seem not as bad. I think the 7 got a new mold because they thought it’d help the 7 sell better(which it didn’t, 7s hype has been low since 2008 from my observation). The 1s got a new mold because they are also a model that fuels Jordan’s overall hype. The 1s legit had bad leather and shape during 2013 and needed a makeover. 13s got a worse mold, and i think that’s contributed to their sales being weak outside of the royal pair this year, that benefited from early 2018 hype.

4s sell really well for JB especifically their GRs. They may not sell out first day, but they sell more units than most other shoes.

None of what you're saying makes any sense.
