Agreed. After factoring in inflation and the time value of money...the rate of return on these DMP2s will be butt cheeks. You're better off cop'ing some gold and silver ETF shares.
Yea, its true, you dont have to believe me, but anyone that owns a pair of any of the 06' Retro 5s can really feel the significant differencein quality, and we're talking about the Retros, not even touching base on how the OGs were built.Originally Posted by NoIntroNeeded
don't believe everything you hearOriginally Posted by andfattoo
hmm.... something else i didnt wanna hear.Originally Posted by NomadicSole21
Nope i have seen them all, i remember people saying this about the DTRT IIIs, and those Olympic 6s and other hideous JB concoctions
and there is no way an increase of demand on them, and same with this Pack.
I only tried on the 3Ms, and they were horrible, doesnt even feel like a Shoe you would pay $80 for. The Tongue is the worst, its straight up plastic compared to 06' Retro

Yea, the soles are icy in the DMPs and the quality of the Suede is OK, but the toe-box and overall comfort and quality of the shoes are just horrible. My 06 Fire Reds fits like a glove and to touch base on the Tongue of the DMPs, the Retros in 06 are puffy and soft, the DMPs are almost a hard plastic that just feels clanky on your feet.
youre right..... i still planned on going to the store and checking them out myself, but some comments make me concerned.Originally Posted by NoIntroNeeded

exactly my thoughts! Give the beasts 5-7 years with these. First all red V and its suede, with multicolor flames! People are going to beastttttttttt for them in 5-7 years.Originally Posted by agold1002
people will be sleeping on these because they are different. If JB is gonna survive they are gonning to need to retro the classic and because these are so different if you keep these ice they will be $$$$$$$$$$$$ in the future.

PREACH!Originally Posted by I Stay Lift
I'd be the 1st to admit I'm overly cynical, & that it's a character flaw of mine. That said? ..I really don't understand all the negativity aimed at JB. Not for nothin', but you can name numerous pop culture happenings/scenes that: "aren't what they used to be". Hip-hop's no different, rock & roll, the list goes on. Once something gets a certain size, and enough money is involved, things fall thru the cracks & the overall starts to deteriorate. Funny thing about life cycles ..they are CYCLES. Blah. Sayin'tho.
I get it, I was there ..I had these shoes before there WERE OG's. I remeber rubbing the suede on my VI's at 12 years old, and being totally in love w/that shoe. I see how the quality has slipped. That said? ..what IS what it: "used to be"?
Our country has been at war for a decade plus, we have fat/below avg. intellects in our schools, LOOK AROUND.
I LOVE kicks, but they only kicks. We should all be glad we still get JB in any form, and that it hasn't completely destroyed itself yet.
A lot of ya'll actin'like this pack was put together by 3rd graders in some makeshift craft class, and it's just not accurate.
I have no intention of aiming this at any ONE poster, or I'd have quoted. If you read thru this thread tho', quite a large number of heads say the quality of this pack is garbage. I think this is an issue of people blinded by their own personal inability to be objective. It's like how some people love Kobe so much, that their response to a LeBron fan is: "oh, he sucks" ...OBVIOUSLY that's not an accurate desc. of him. Feel what I'm gettin'at? ..it's as if instead of dudes sayin'; "Nah', just aint'felin'these" ..they say: "these are trash" ..because someone else said it. It's so ugly. Real talk. Have your own opinion, please.
These are obviously not as well constructed as they were in the 90's, but they aren't horrible either.
Daps to all of you who give/gave the advice: cop what you LIKE. ..THAT, is what this "should" be about.
Bottomline, to each their own. Just a shame there aren't more objective voices shouting from the gallery's all. Blah.
