Tongue on these got that extendo clip? Pic above is reaching to the heavens.

Ds Dan wears a size 7. Gradeschool sizing

Toss up between Cardinal 7s and these. Just not a huge 2 fan but have liked the OGs.

if i had to choose would get the 7 over the 2.

much better model and colorway

 

[wizards23brown]

I would have a really really hard time picking between these and the cardinal 7s…

I think the 2s might have a slight advantage but I’d have to see them both in person side by side lol

 

[headdetective]

2's if I had to pick

 

[freshkicks95]

Definitely the 2’s. Seeing pics of Mike wearing them in the 1987 Slam Dunk Contest makes me want them even more.

 

[KanyIZZY]

No one wouldve picked the II's in the early 2000's

 

[headdetective]

IDK bro, in 04, them 2's that dropped were pretty heavy around my way.

Can't remember a time when cats went crazy for cardinal 7's.

I remember 7s in general doing really well in 2006. Could be wrong though, I was only 13

 

[appleheaddmv]

2’s were hot in the DMV… always been my favorite J since a youngin

Yeah it’s crazy 7s don’t really get any love these days. The Flint/Purple joints were a must a back then. Citrus didn’t sell out at first, but they grew on people and eventually sold.
Chambrays and Pacific Blues
As someone stated in the Cardinal 7 thread, Cardinals with the gold lace tips were dope! A retro detail I wouldn’t have mind being on the 2022 retro.
This period for 7s pushed them in my top 5. Think I still have the model at the 5 or 6 spot, of Jordan’s.

I remember those 2’s in 04 sitting. My local foot action had my size on display for months after release. I remember just walking in and trying on the display size multiple times. Which doesn’t happen too often since I wear a 13. Definitely regret not picking them up. I believe I got a pair of running shox instead haha.

I might pass on these cause I'm thinking these won't get much mileage

Same. I want to cop because when these originally dropped I was a poor 14 year old kid(yeah, I'm hella old) who's parents couldn't afford no Jordans. Really wanted them then, but not sure I would wear them much now. Probably get more wear out of the Lucky Green color way.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Chrome II's had my whole hood in a choke hold but I think generally most wouldn't choose a II over a VII back then.

It was different out this way. Even the Black/Chrome 2's had motion.

I'd actually take a retro of that black/chrome colorway if we keepin it funky.

Guarantee black chrome IIs would bring 3god and birthday boy Fred Sanford out of retirement.

I need both...NO DEBATE. Both OGs.. Plus they both complete the White/Red set from the 1 all the way to the 7s for me.

 

[freshkicks95]

I think some (including myself) were just waiting for a more accurate retro. I had the 2004 Chicago’s and Melo’s. Hated the boxy toe box.

These should really shock drop on snkrs live....of course Nike doesn't like to give us what we want.

 

[pwguy]

Anyone figure out yet why there's a separate women's listing for these?

Imagine how they did with the Jubilee's
