Maybe they made the re-retroed XII´s this year thinner cuz of MJ´s athletes foot issue when he wore the og´s during the 97 season.What ener the case is..Ivebeen a Jordan head since 86.I used to beg my parents to get me some Jordans back in the day cuz every dude had them.The og´s are/were better with out adoubt.Nike wasnt cuttin corners to save money and they really didnt try to use environment friendly materials on the shoes like they do nower days.Plus JordanBrand wasnt really by its self like it is now.It was Nike all the way.JB is kinda on its on like Converse.The original of anything in the world is always bestcompared to a re-release.Im 34 now and i never was that dude to by some shoes and put them on ice.Ima ball in them like they were intended to be..and rock themcasually too.I agree MJ is and can be a dickhead at times..but still im a fan.I get sick of all the OG, retro, and re-retro comparisons.If you want´em..get em.If you dont...then stop hatin from the sideline.

I'm lovin how all these flakes are whining about how this shoe looks bad & how the quality is horrible.
too bad the nubuck looks and feels better than any previous version of this cw. and if the quality is so bad, how are the pros able to wear them at the highestlevel of the game.
thanks for not buying, i'll be coppin my 2nd pair hopefully this week!

The only "flakes" are the ones that keep accepting the constant lowering of standards corporations keep giving us through cheaper andcheaper quality products that don't last nearly as long as their predecessors. We're sinking deeper and deeper into mediocrity and banality, andinstead of standing up to this BS as a consumer and declaring enough is enough, you bend over and say, "yes, please" by blindly buying the productsanyway, or worse yet, defending them.Originally Posted by asilva23

Seriously, if this new nubuck version looks and feels better to you than any previous version of this colorway, you have ruined any credibility for yourself toever judge shoes again. Some things are way too obvious to allow for the "everyone is entitled to an opinion" mentality.

I need to get these because I doubt I will spend $250 and up on the '03 retros or OG's.

Not that they ruined their credibility, but that they showed their ignorance. As soon as you put on a pair of OG's you get it.
