Yes, they're retro-ing BUT...

- Crappy leather and quality (if you've never owned or had the chance to see and feel the quality of a pair from 2000, I expect you to be happy with anything.)
Why can't we argue for quality associated with the "banned 1" release? Give or take a year before that release, the "strap 1's" had semi hype but were never near the reselling prices of the banned pairs. You'd think JB would get the hint, consumers are willing to pay more for quality.
In the end, the cycle will not be broken. JB will continue to give us garbage quality and consumers will just eat it up. All those that appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of years before will have nothing but memories to reminisce... Any retro they make now does no justice to the original shoe or original retro they're modeled after.
You can call this 2012 release whatever you want, but these will never be real Olympics.

Air Jordan VI Re-Retro olympic ='s poor quailty.... I was fortunate to only one of the original pairs from the 3000 released to niketowns back in the day and i paid retail back them which was only $125 bucks. Jordan Brand was really gotten out of hand with their releases....
I completely agree with flip "In the end, the cycle will not be broken. JB will continue to give us garbage quality and consumers will just eat it up.

But honestly, I was not satisfied with the quality of the 2000 retros at all.
Have the Black/Infareds and white/navys and both not only had bad fitting but
also obvious midsole paint cracking and chipping issues.
It was the first time when I was not amused about the quality of Air Jordans.

I could care less about the differences from the first retro.

I was flat broke in college in 2000 when these came out, so I missed out big time.
Since these were already a Retro+ colorway, and never had NIKE AIR on the back and the man himself never wore them...
I could care less about them being like the 2000 version as well, and I'd be happy to get a pair of these.

This. As long as the leather is somewhat soft and the midsole paint isn't too glossy I'm good. Maybe JB will do something crazy like give us MS VI quality. One can only hope.

Ive always favored the VI's more than the VII. only because the 7s are more flimsy or skinny looking especially around the top lace hole. Kind of reminds me of a thick female standing beside a anorexic chick. I don't know about you fellas but only a dog likes a bone( Air jordan VII)
