yes i will agree that retro pe's are made with better quality but those guys are just wearing regular retros, im sure they are the same ones sold at footlocker, finishline, etc.. and also plenty of non jordan sponsored team college players rock regular retros, do they get special made non pe retros also?
like i said before, i agree that the retro pe's are made with better quality and craftmanship, but the regular joe nba player that just wears regular retros like 2011 conords and 2012 chi 10's are exactly the same as the ones we buy from eastbay, ndc, etc... now the inserts might help out but i found it hard to believe that the cavs 4's and retro 10's those players were wearing in the pic on the last page are any different than the ones sold in stores. also, i see a lot of nba and college players wearing non pe foamposites (metallic red, royal, galaxy's), so i guess those are made with better quality and craftmanship also? one of my solid connects is a manager at hoh in houston and he has told me that multiple nba players have come in a copped jordan retros (metalic 5's, concords, etc..) and other shoes straight of the shelf, if they were getting special made retros from nike then why would they be copping pairs from hoh?
