Show some love for the 2006s today
VII Cardinal (Retro) (16 Years)

VII Flint (16 Years)

This was a glorious day. I was still under mom’s budget so I could only leave with one pair and of course the OG always triumphs over all. This was a well made retro back then and the flints were fire too. I’m hype that at the end of this year I will have both pairs having already copped the flints from 2021.

My girl at the time told me I was not to buy them because how ugly they were. I remember laughing at her at the check out. Needless to say that Cardinal rel;ease has stuck around WAY longer than she did. Lol. My only jab at the 06 was the reversed heel tab. The 2011 I could not pass on due to them correcting it.

 

[Hahahaha]

 

[AIR J XIII]

What the hell were you doing in those? That’s not crumbled PU, them joints straight ripped.

 

[JRepp23]

I really hope they dont skin thin the ankle collar material.

 

[wizards23brown]

I wish they’d make the tongues a tad taller on all the 7s so they at least came up to the top of the shoe.. Not a great look having the tongue sit down lower.

 

[JRepp23]

When the shoes are on feet they are pretty much even with the ankle collars. I am assuming its by design coming off the higher tongue the 6 had. When the shoes are not worn, the sock liner kind of curls up giving the look that the tongue is lower than the collar. It really is not once on your feet.

Does everyone think 2022 is better then 2021? I knew when Gentry left things would get better and we would see things like this. Just think he had nothing to do with todays anniversaries.
III Tinker Hatfield (4 Years)

X Stealth (10 Years)

III Fire Red (Retro) (15 Years)

III Flip White (15 Years)

XVI Midnight Navy (21 Years)

I actually copped the 10 Stealths and thought they were a decent sneaker. Also got the 16s day of Release. I laughed hard at the Flips in 2007

06 had the real metal lace tips n good leather tho

 

[q-ball2220]

That 06 pair was decent as far as quality, the leather wasn’t bad and they were comfortable.

I’m 99.9% sure the 06 had plastic tips.

 

[KanyIZZY]

I feel like those and the Flints had gold or silver tips but not sure if they were actually metal.

Idk they were heavy like metal, the 2011 was plastic

 

[vegetaray123]

For real though, normal aglets is just fine…Keep it OG…Hard pass on the metal / faux metal aglets in general…

It’s a dope and clean colorway but definitely last among og colorways.

 

[wizards23brown]

Are 7s the only model where MJ played in every colorway? Not counting the all-star games..

Nope. 8’s too, though it had only 3 colorways. Same with the 11. He played in all og colorways of the 3 if you count the 2001 TB as a Wizard.

8’s, 11’s as well off the top of my head…

 

[AIR J XIII]

He played in all 4 versions of the OG 2s in NBA games.

White/Red lows? It’s been a while since I’ve looked but I don’t remember him wearing those in a game…It’s early and I’m hungover, AND old though …

"Cardinal 7’s : They may not be the most exciting VII"

Hope they keep that same energy release day more for us who really wants them.
