Agree, except f--k the collector part. Collectors are what made the Jordan line relevant long before/after he stopped playing basketball. Collectors started all this hype way before it was what it is today. I do not agree with protecting the collectors investment and I'm one of them. Nike should've done this right. I own a olive and a white black IX original. If you look at them the wrong way they will crack on you. I also have the CDP and the 2010. Its unfortunate that my CDP is the closest thing I have to the original but I know if I wear them they will fall apart. Never collected for prestige or money making purposes, I collected because it actually means something to me personally. Collectors understand that.
Gotcha. Thank you.
collecting is cool to me, but when it is not valued more than the regular customers who vastly outnumber collectors multiple times over. Making retros to cater to collectors should be outdated by now. They fixed the aqua 8s, Bordeaux 7s, etc. to look similar to the og but you can still differentiate which is which. This release is a remaster of the 2010 not the OG
Yes, I agree with all you said there.
oops, submitted to early, meant to say, they still have $190 "remastered" price tag, but the shoe themselves aren't at all...
most og retros have been remastered, i just discovered and posted about the fact that the Bordeaux from last year are true to the original pair made in Korea and not the Taiwan pair which we've seen much more.
