Any of you guys wear your swapped pairs on the regular? I am just curious as to how they will hold up. My main concern is separation from the upper due to the material being so old.

I have a pair of 2000 infrared 6s I got swapped. I've worn them like 40 times already.
Holds up the same.

If jeans/denim is timeless, how does this not also apply to denim shorts (i refuse to acknowledge the term "jorts"Big dog rockin them jorts like he just don't give a funk!!!!
)? This never made sense and will never. This is all in your mind. Denim shorts have never gone out of style, ever. The only thing that matters is how long, short or baggy they are. Only on NT has this utter ridiculousness been perpetuated.

I mean I guess nothing really goes out of style unless you're just prone to following trends.
It's been frowned upon for quite a while though. Not like I'm going to clown anyone who still does wear them.

Apologies if anyone thought I was trying to make fun of anyone for their personal style.
Was not my intention.

I'm with you, I never stopped wearing them.If jeans/denim is timeless, how does this not also apply to denim shorts (i refuse to acknowledge the term "jorts"
BUT
I think it's bigger than NT, I think it's an internet thing because I've had friends all over ask why I still wear them. Maybe just certain corners of the internet.

Frowned upon by who? Lame *** NT, which is majority fashion icon wannabes?

Definitely nothing taken personal at all. NT been bandwagoning this sentiment for years, but this is a microcosm that does not reflect the real world/reality.

I made a post about it in the Hip Hop thread, but I was basically advised to stop wearing them. This was back in 2009.
I've fallen victim to it I guess.

Not pissed at all. Just my thoughts on the matter. It sounds idiotic. Just my opinion.

I think they started saying they went out around 2006-2007. Basically when the tall-tee and jersey era was over or around there.

y’all ain’t got 1 pair of the tight jean shorts that aren’t baggy?
Are they considered cut off jeans?

Think that trend died out too. Never participated in it either.

Everyone's style is different. With jorts the only people that really care if you wear them are those online who would never be bold enough to actually get in your face for wearing them. The anonymity of the internet gives a lot of people guts that they really don't have.

sold my worn once TTS pair for $420. Only wore them once because my pinky toe was dying from how tight it was in the toebox. I figure these should retro again in a few years.

I get what you're saying.
However, if you post your fit on a forum, you gotta be prepared for the good and the bad.
Seeing cats wit weak fits in the wild is the norm, so of course you not goin to run up on someone and tell them they fit weak, because you'll be doing that all damn day.
On a forum, you open yourself up for criticism once you make that post though.

The 99 and OG just look so much better. Sold my 2019 breds by the way. Don't even miss them. And for the lightning to look so good having only released a couple years later makes it worse. I wish they would have dropped the lightnings in 2019. They would have been much better received and what they did to the 2019 bred to make them fall short are actually improvements to the og lightnings (no banana shape, correct netting, heel bump, etc.) Nike and JB would have been praised for resurrecting the lightning in better form and we could have got the black cement/bred 4s in 2021 in the mold/construction that was applied to the lightnings. Missed opportunity. Hindsight is 2020 though I guess....
I tried to tell y'all, but you just didn't listen. Y'all think I like talkin' about this subject, but I don't. I absolutely LOATHE doing it. The 2019, is straight up disrespectul to the 1999 release. Hell in my HONEST opinion, The ONLY thing the 2019's have on the 1999's, is the material of the netting. It looks REAL cheap on the 1999's.
Anyways, ANYTIME ANYONE posts these pics...
They ALWAYS DAMN NEAR, bring TEARS to me eyes....

Wear whatever you want to. Some people will dig it, some people will diss it, most people won't care. As long as you good you good. Most sneakerheads have no style/basic style at best and copy cat style at worst. Definitely not people you should be taking personal style cues from. Unless you asked them for advice their opinion means nada

I never wore jean shorts at any point in my life. Not even as a kid so I don't see myself rotating to it now.
They look like they belong on a Jimmy Jazz mannequin...and then when they add the bleach spots and "biker" details? Just criminal.
