i dont know if this makes any sense, but its more about youth nostalgia.  just a different connection when someone watched all the seasons and championships real time over the course of a decade.  a lot of dudes were like me....work all summer break to save enough cash to be able to buy a couple pairs during the year, or just couldnt afford to buy certain releases.  its a different appreciation that really isnt fair to retros, especially since nike is determined not to produce anything even close the original, or even first gen retro.  hey, you appear to be genuine, but that username doesnt do you any favors.

@ the username flame. I think the same thing. My first pair of Jays that really really caught my eye before I got in the game were the first Spizikes to ever release.. the East Coast limited pair. I managed to get a pair and they remain to be the most rare pair of shoes I own.. I live on the west coast so I'm probably the only one within at least a few miles to have a pair.

As far as watching the seasons as a kid and saving money. You're right. I never got to do that.. I never got to watch his whole season game by game, waiting every night to see the Bulls play. Jump up and down as he won a game with a buzzer beater, or yell when he flew over some dude like he loved to do.

  But that doesn't mean that I should get looked down upon and told that my love for Jordans isn't as authentic as yours. Trust me. I love these damn shoes just as much as every other person on here. The OG pairs have always been my favorite. Concords, Carmines, Maroons, Infrareds, Columbias, Sport Blues / September Blues, you name it. I get just as big of a boner.

It's just a shame that I will probably never see the glory of these shoes as you did, when they released back in the days.

Oh well, I buy the ones I love and cherish them. Like I'm sure you do. True heads are a bit hard to come by where I am, so being on NT is somewhere where I can feel at home. NT Fam is the $#!&.

Great post dude!


I can appreciate where you're coming from.  I think it's all love but to the older heads in here it's a bit of a different love, thats all.  For me, Infrared VI gives me goosebumps cause thats the shoe I remember watching MJ play in as a youngin. 

You're just as much a member of this community as the next guy so don't let what some say bother you or take it personally.

^^^^NT is like a bunch of brothers that play ball together...no matter how well you play you're gonna hear it and get ragged on. If you mess up, they'll never let it go
laugh.gif
...and the younger brothers will always get jibed by the older guys. Never personal...just a bunch of dudes talking trash and dropping knowledge.

JB has pulled me back in. Concords and then these 2 months later? Sucks for my wallet but I gotta have these classics again.
 
I don't know if it's just me but those HOF pics remind me of fakes that are sold for 64.99. It's the shape. I remember buying a pair of white cement 3's from that guy on the bay and getting my pair only to find out that they were in a regular jordan box with mismatched elephant print and different production dates. Not saying their shoes are fakes but I'm never buying from them again.
 
yea i love the X's but you are right. People are gonna go hard for these. Such a clean lookin shoe

^ Not to flame, but if you have to put a question mark in that statement, you don't sound too sure, then say it's classic? smh
 
Might it be possible that the light grey colors were seeing on the OGs and 99's may be due to a little discoloration due to aging?

I'll create one closer to the release date...No need to hype them up more than they already are with an official post.

Haha, nice analogy -pretty much sums it up. Don't ever take it too seriously ...it's only shoes.
