Exactly, brotha. But it also does bum me out because I do want immediate gratification. I'm getting too damn old to have to wait another 10 years for them to possibly, maybe, do it right. By then I'll be 50. The thing some people don't get--the people who tell people like us to stop nitpicking--is that the details that made a lot of these shoes so sick in the first place (and why we even want them back on our feet again) are the entire point. Take those details away like they have and the actual shoes aren't nearly as dope. Which makes having them less fun and satisfying, which leads to our complaints. I'm just tired of that certain group of people acting like we're just complaining to complain. Not the case.Dont get me wrong, i like my collection and look forward to completing it with all of the black classics, its still fun to me. I thoroughly enjoy this hobby and coming here to talk about it with people who do too. Its a nice little escape from the things in life that make it not important. In my head, this is the safe zone from real life things with real life consequences. It would just be nice if Nike/JB would make some sort of genuine effort to do these things right. Not because of immediate gratification but because Id like to see them prosper in the future which in turn would keep this safe zone alive. At the end of the day Im worried about precisely what Rainking said.
I DO understand why some people get tired of the nitpicking and moaning, but without it, nothing would ever have a hope in hell of changing. And we know that they've made changes based on comments posted here and elsewhere. It might happen rarely, but it does happen. That's why it's important to keep expressing our views on something that is, obviously, actually unimportant in the grand scheme of life.
