I’m sure the original sketch of “the tinkers” had NA on the back, just like the rest of the OG cw’s. Just because they got scrapped doesn’t mean they didn’t have NA on the back when originally designed

I said in my post the tinker sketch had NA I’ve seen the sketch
I just think it’s inconsistent to refuse to give Katrina’s NA because they’re not an OG Color way but give it the Tinkers when they aren’t an OG Colorway.

The tinkers were originally designed to have the NA. The Katrina’s were designed after they started putting the jumpman logo on the back. I don’t know what so difficult to understand about that

I guess you’re focusing on the “Katrina’s first came out with JMA” part and to me it’s the “Tinkers, by definition, aren’t an OG colorway” part.
I suppose we can add a new term to sneaker vocabulary: “OG sketches”, colorways that were drawn, but never produced, while Mj was playing.
No need to get so heated

I’m not heated at all Mr. “heat seeker”. Sorry if it came off that way. I just don’t understand why you’re having a hard time grasping this concept.

I said this for like 3 other releases this year and everything that day went wrong, but for real this time ... gonna be at Niketown SF in line before the store opens Sat morning lol. I want these Katrinas hella bad. Highly doubt I hit on any raffles (never have) ... Champs Platinum status, Footlocker I shud be plat but their system lagged on my last purchase, and Footaction probably will all give me the "next time."

It was a collab. Im sure the designer from the collab wanted the NA on there.

There’s currently no rhyme or reason or logic to NA if you consider the atmos and Korea 3s...sample Travis Scott 4s.
The Jordan 3 was designed in the 80s with NA. That was Tinkers design and what they originally went with. 3s are better with Nike Air whether it’s an og color or the atmos or the Korea or any cw. The jumpman Air has only ever been there to satisfy Jordan’s ego.
A lot of people bring up the NA only for og cws for 3-6 but there’s no logic to that. It’s just groupthink/conditioning based on what Nike/Gentry has done in the past.
There wasn’t ever a need to change up the branding on any Jordan. Quite frankly, it ruins every “retro+“ 3-6.

Not necessarily, judging by actual pics so far, the leather looks nice. The Shadow 1’s were mass produced and quality was nice.
I get the feeling that the hype is not there on these which is great for me, I rather pickup from FTL or FTA if I hit one of their raffles.

100% agreed with this, people like
promac
are too brainwashed by the groupthink/conditioning you mentioned that Gentry pushed out in the past. It's too bad that worked because we'd likely get more NA retros otherwise.
