These will definitely be in the same numbers as one of the OG colorway IVs from last year. The WC IVs were the only ones that were hard to get.

I'm passing on these, that blue tinted sole, and small netting just looks horrible to me.
Regular clear soles on Vs > Varsity Blue tinted soles
Large netting > Small netting.

Says who?
I have a fresh pair of 2006s with no yellowing. If I want some grapes I'll put them on and be on my way. I don't need these crap quality things. They look hideous in this form so I will not buy them.

Depends on who you are and what you're used to.
But one thing we all know, they won't add up to past releases.

The blue sole looks nice on these IMO. If I had the '06's Id pass to but I never owned a pair so they are a must have for me.

This release = X2. Probably even going to bite the bullet and pre-order 1 pair so I don't have to deal with JB's trickery incase they pull a fast one like they did with Royals again.

I agree with everything you just said. Blue tint looks good with this colorway too imo. This to stock, Red Sole Fire Reds to rock
Ok.

I also like the mold on these much better than the 2006 version. Long toebox > worker boot toebox
Easy cop? In your dreams.
They'll be GRs though, but not easy cops

To anybody that already have the 2013 version, how do you like the quality, as I'm thinking about jumping the gun & get 'em before the true release date.

I certainly wouldn't mind walking in and judging the quality for myself before I buy, however I have a feeling that won't happen.

Doesn't the blue tinted sole prevent from quick yellowing?

In my experience, my blue-tinted soles have yellowed quicker and darker than the clear ones. &i don't wear my shoes in rain/snow and avoid grass when I can. Idk what's up with that.

Sad state of affairs... Basically just have to bite the bullet and hope that 1. They run TTS, 2. The overall quality is ok, and 3. Your specific pair is not blemished or damaged.
In that event you have the option of keeping them, flipping them, or returning them for a refund as we all know there wont be any available for exchange. Its funny how eastbay doesn't even put the retros in the magazine anymore.
For me these are a must cop, one of my favorite jordans and i ran my last pair into the ground.
