Air Jordan 6 OLYMPIC JULY 2012 Now with Photos!

Obviously we all want what the OGs had but complaining about the midsole on a beautiful shoe like this...SMH.

 

[freshkicks523]

Not to mention, we all know you are still going to cop them. And if you dont end up copping on RD, expect to pay double. Shoe is nothing but

What do ya'll think NT?

lol too much work for me. I'm still on the fence with these though. If there are last minute changes to the midsole to make them like the originals, then it's a definite cop. If not, then it's a maybe. Knowing myself though, I'll probably pull the trigger cause I've been waiting for these for years but we'll see.

I don't know why you can't express your opinions without being judged or looked down upon.

If you gonna cop, then so it be it.

If not, that's cool too.

Just don't try to school someone on what they don't know to make yourself look better.

This is NOT cool.

^Exatcly. I don't understand why people get mad when someone says they will pass. If anything they should get happy because that's one less person looking to buy the same shoe they want. If they don't change the midsole back to how it is supposed to be, I will have to pass. I just don't like the change at all.

 

[prince]

these look amazing.

 

[spizike231]

These will be copped.. IF I see more pics down the line and the leather doesn't look extremely shiny like they went crazy with the gloss. I'm talkin LEATHER, and as far as that midsole-change it, keep it, idc. Either way, these will be copped if the previous statement checks out. That's all i care about. Oh, and blue tinted sole on these 

EDIT: BTW, saying I don't care about the midsole does NOT mean I will take any crap that JB gives us, I just don't think it looks horrible. I'm not one to really beg for OG colorways on shoes unless they did the shoe COMPLETELY wrong. Then it's a problem. But if I don't get OG quality, why should I expect OG color blocking ya know? They're changing everything on us now-a-days. smh

 

[crh1979]

Yep, must have these. Not paying the crazy prices for the OG. These and possibly the Infrareds are the only 6s that I like.

 

[southwesthouston]

Midsole having more navy means less yellowing to worry about 10years from now

 

[sneakerfan1]

That catalog pic on the previous page is on point. Sadly the days of that kinda leather are a thing of the past. Hunting down a pair of 2000's isn't even worth the headache for me considering the price tag. Hopefully these are as comfy as the last run of 6's.

 

[8pm at msg]

I love the midsole change to be honest....but I'm not 100% sure if it's a must cop or not. My mind might change by July for all I know.

Looks like the midsole was ORIGINALLY this way, but changed for public release.

*2000 public release version

I like the midsole the way it is releasing with this year.

Very nice find dude. So the 2012 white/midnitenavyRetro VI actually look more authentic to the onesRay Allen wore in Sydney 2000 than the versionSold at niketown to the public.

 

[bigj505]

i could care less about the midsole. these joints are FIRE.

at least they didnt shank these like they did them flu game 12s and they didnt retro them "other" olympic VIs

 

[celticsfan9783]

Will probably grab a pair of these and Obsidian XII and I'll be all set blue-wise.

 I regret even buying those, still have them DS and don't plan on wearing them

I hope these are a little more limited release. It adds excitement to everything.

SMH. Why?!?
I wish every release was like the Chi X's where resellers getting screwed.

 

[futuredhughes]

Yeah, the midsole was intended to be that color.

They reversed it for the public release.

JB is smart, and knows what they are doing years and years in advance.

True, but this is why they remain relevant.
The Subtle changes.

Like the next time the Concords release (2015+) maybe they'll change the color of the black jumpman to 'concord'.

MAYBE.

+@#+ with that brah. Hopefully JB makes a !$#% ton. So that they are an easy cop, everyone can get a pair, and re-sellers won't be able to make any money off them
