you do realise these retailed for $150 back in 99 , a $10 price hike is mild compared to what they did with the concord 11's
 
poor XIV......despite it was the last Air Jordan worn by MJ as a Chicago Bull,
not much love from half of us here.
I was so happy when they got retroed because i got only the
white/black-reds as OG back then.

The OG's and the 2005's didn't have that perforated sockliner material that the 2011's have.

I personally don't care, it was just an observation.   So again, like I said IMO, the OG sockliner looks closer to the 2005's in terms of the look of the material compared to the 2011's. 

And also to add to that, the OG Wht/Red XIV's, did have the perforated sockliner.  
 
True.

But I care more about the material used on the toes and side panels, than on the sockliner.

The 2011s seem closer to the OGs in that regard.

And with the IIIs and IVs originally $100 if im not mistaken, might be less in 1988-89. up to $150, now $160. 60% increase in price

Definitely. 
 
They really did a good job with these, the only issue as is with all black/suede/nubuck material, is picking out the right pair with minimal glue stains.
 
I think for 225ish total I will be able togt both these and the stealths. Any word on the rest of the rumored xivs?

can you explain why the 05 retro is trash?
they just were imo.  The tongue was longer, no metal tips on the laces, and that suede was horrible.

I had the OGs in 99 and the 05's werent bad at all except for the ashy suede.... everything else was on point.. metal tips are on every 14 stop gassing it
