Unless you are hooping in yours, I dont understand the concern over quality...most buy Jordans for nostalgia and style.
I do wonder sometimes how NBA players are wearing these on the court...Monte Ellis stays in a retro...feet have to be killing him everynight...
I doubt it. Special insoles and fitted for correct size can make a huge difference.

IMO, PEOPLE HOOPING IN JORDAN RETROS THESE DAYS ARE FOOLS. THESE RETROS ARE STRAIGHT FOR STYLE.
I'm sure they get a better quality "retro". They get them weeks if not months before the public too. But yea I completely agree it's a shame we pay close to $200 for a basketball shoe that we can't comfortably play basketball in.

On random I thought was kind of humorous. I just had the worst and most terrifying dream. I dreamed my shoes arrived in the mail, but one box was completely empty and the other box had mismatch sizes. I was pissed in the dream and mortified. Lol happy I woke up and realized it was only a dream.

these wouldn't hap'n to be the cement 4s that u flaked on, would they?
it's all good tho homeboy.
im sure ndc has a lot more orders to fulfill so it's possible that's why it takes longer for you to receive ur order.
u boys need to work on ur local connections so u can buy directly from stores which will allow u to avoid waiting time and shipping fees.

7 pairs son? Really?Originally Posted by riddla713
i just copped 3 more pairs from snipes for 126 euros per pair, its shows 149 euros at first but after you put in your US address the price drops. 3 pairs came out to 386 euros which converted to $508 usd on my paypal, $170 per pair is better than what i pay at the mall after taxi also ordered from offspring, 4 pairs came out to 465 gbp which converted to $750usd so $187.50 per pair, i sent them an email about refunding me for vat tax since im a US customer, if that goes through it will make the price even lower.

I wore these out yesterday and they look super fresh with some khakis. There isn't as much padding around the ankles like the OGs or retros, but it's not cardboard thin like some people are exaggerating. In my opinion, they're comfortable and that's all that really matters to me. There were some good comparison pics in this thread on release day, but I CBA to dig them up. They do run a little big, but I like wearing my shoes like that to make room for my sneaker shields just so my feet aren't cramped up (I wear a size 10). Yes, the quality isn't the same anymore and people just need to realize that it's no longer about performance anymore. I mean cmon.. Nike stores have Jordans sitting in the "Off-Court" section of the store. The times have changed and we're merely paying for the brand and our loyalty to it. (Along with a lot of other material things in the market..)

I bought the obsidians back in the day.. actually my dad did. thanks pops! day they came out. he was real OG sneaker head.. im almost 30. to give you an idea.
anyways it was always my assumption, mj would wear the obsidians because he wore the columbias the year before during the all star game.
so when i watched it.. YES he was wearing what it hought were obsidans.. NO HDTV lol.. now after a few replays i was like wait a minute.. whats that strip across the white!!?? then after some pics surfaced after the asg, it was confirmed those werent obsidans.. I RETURNED the obidians to athlete's foot @ the GREAT MALL in the Bay Area (who old enough to remember that) after they had been worn all day at school lol.
then of course waited until they released..
cool story bro?
maybe i shouldve kept the obsidans still even though.. but was just never a fan of the 12s except the playoffs..

Anyways, nope. No pictures on feet besides a random few. Just countless posts about NDC, SNS, SNIPES, FL, EASTBAY, etc. If you don't like reading about that kind of stuff.. well according to someone else who responded to a complaint about it, you should "get out of the thread you weak"

Hey I cancelled my size 11.5 on offspring. I sent them an E-mail to cancel the order so if anyone wants it you can call them or contact them and scoop it up. Just tell them to remove the vat tax since you’re a US resident and it doesn’t apply to you so it’ll come out close to retail for those still looking.

These seem like they will be impossible to keep clean. That white outsole looks like a nightmare. I guess I'll find out when I unds my pair
