I forget who it was on here that told this story (that some of you probably heard) but I thought it was so interesting to hear coming from someone who lived through it in person:
I saw this OG head I know who is a few years older than me and was in high school for the 95-96 drops. Dude said he saw the Concords and they ended up selling out so he never got a pair. Then he saw MJ playing in SJ's on TV and went to his local store asking about them. Twice he was told that they would get them and finally on what was supposed to be the RD, he shows up and they bring out the box and when they open it.. he says "guess was inside the box!!" So I go .. "The Black and Reds " and he's like "The F'ing Black and Reds.. I was like WTF is this???"
I was dying.. the way they bamboozled the OG's back then who wanted SJ's and never saw the Playoffs coming is a hilariously dope story to hear. And on top of that.. they never even dropped them so when SJ's came out in 01 dude said he lined up at 4am and copped 3 pairs. A bunch of stuff that most people didnt do at that time. It's stories like these that make me love the hobby because I have my own story as most of us do and to hear a similar or different perspective is dope.
I meant to post this Saturday but between work and more releases this week ..its been a lot lol.
Spot on. Couldn't agree with you more.I personally think concords looked better with baggier jeans like what we wore when they originally released. The wider opening swallowing up the shoe was they way to go with these. Tapered denim all day with 1s for sure, but trends aside, these dont benefit from the current look.

This is 2 weeks of ALL DAY NOTHING ELSE BUT WEARSo this is before/after two weeks of wear then according to Foamer.
They said PayPal screwed me upwhy? is it because you used a coupon code?
Of course it's meant to be worn ...... or perhaps collectibleSo this is before/after two weeks of wear then according to Foamer.
Just received my pair from Nike via UPS, and thankfully for me they came in a plain box .. and look pretty darn flawless ...
I'm a happy man! : D
LOL....why are you so thankful they came in a plain box?
No clue when I’ll wear my pair. Probably when the summer hits. I want to get some MJ jerseys now.
Thats a pretty significant dofference. Look at the first dip in the PL by the leather heel area...the OG 18 retros looks twice as large at that section.
On another note, I think i prefer the jumpman being "backwards" facing the numbers.
I actually wish the Concords came back with that same outsole your Columbia's have. That to me is actually spot-on, if not the closest to 95 OG status. The outsole on your Colombia's are .
