Black Infrared VI's returning in 2014. NO GM TALK!

For the vi's for me they're usually border tts to a half size bigger, but you think the historys are bigger than the other vi's this year?
Btw, dat infrared57 pop!

Besides these two, The only other VI's i copped this year were the Infrared 23's... and those fit very well for me.

I wore the History's on monday for the first time and felt like thicker socks would have made them more comfortable (For this reason alone, it may be the huarache tongue

or silhouette itself, but VII's have a more dynamic/glovelike fit, but the VI's are just a gooder looking sneaker and i'm partial to exposed air units, pardon the digression). 

The history of jordans have an interesting sock liner, not of your usual VI liner incarnation (underneath the art decor commemorating Mike... are foam perforations the size of the exterior ankle pocket holes... you'll know when you feel them). They're a bit wider at the ankle-by the heel tab because of the material/construction, hence, why they feel so roomy). They could have priced these at premium or at least 200, but i think the backlash for these caused them to be priced at ordinary GR, but they're a great sneaker. Leather is that Wilsons quality). 

The Infrared VI's feel very very true (disclaimer, as aforementioned, given that these are the production, time will tell). 

People have been complaining about the material of the sneaker itself... its like a composition of both nubuck/durabuck (for a lot of critics, its the best of both worlds). People have mentioned this already, i'd say they are closest to the Black/Red IV's from 2012 (this is great because the minimal crease factor and ease of care/cleaning. I disagree with people saying Durabuck is lower maintenance; imo they crease the most out of 3 textiles typically incorporated and dirt smudges are more prominent, imo. Yes, they will be less ashy over time but the man made stuff doesn't hold a candle to the more natural feel of suede/nubuck. Once again, just preference). 

I know Steve72 is a huge proponent of the VI's... 

The infrared shade they used is very radiant (once again, granted these reflect production). The 3M, the materials incorporated and shade of Infra is why i'm going to prematurely say this is my favorite release of the year (biased because they're my grails... but they're real nice). To emphasize, the infra is really bright... but any aficionado or even casual carls will appreciate it nonetheless.

I kept thinking those history of jordans looked really good quality, sock liner like you said had me thinking they did right on the leather. Price wise I'm glad it's not an increase, kinda like the FF 1s everyone loves the quality and the price was actually lower than NA 1s at 120.

No offense taken. And you’re right, I don’t remember the IVs causing much of a commotion. Despite being one of my favorites, I didn’t like them either. 

And I do complain about materials on Nike retros, for example recently, I saw the Royal Air Raids and immediately was like “Finally”, then I realized they put a tumbled leather back panel instead of the Durabuck, needless to say I passed. While the other OG version that released had the correct materials, just a slightly different color. I recently gave them away but I really did enjoy them. 

I just thought that being the year of the VIs JB would give us something close to the 2000 retro, maybe even the exact 2000 retro but with a jump man. These are one of my all time favorite sneakers, I will be passing myself, but just like the IVs I know my girl will “surprise” me with a pair. Oh well, saves me $185 for next year, I’ll try on release day but only for the NT’er that helped me out with a release in May, he knows who he is.

@spizike231

1000% correct. I’ve been saying this, but people don’t see it, they’re afraid that it might not happen even though all signs point to it happening lol even statements from JB ain’t enough, so they cave in to the upcoming retro.

Good info, I'm looking forward to the historys.
As for these, jb wouldv'e had to really hacked it overboard for me to pass, since I haven't had any of retros. I'll be good as long as it's not that long haired nubuck or suede. I only had the og and I was still in grade school then, a long time ago. Easily my favorite colorway on one of my top favorite jordan model.
 
my 2000 and infrared pack pair still on ice, dont see how the 2014s will be better just like cdp 3 were better than the 2011s, i hope that they would have "remastered" these for next year

that red though look little better though kinda like laser crimson rather than infrared

You have 2000 and infrared pack, and you don't see how they would be better than the infrared pack?

i dont see the 2014s being better for obvious reasons mostly for the shape imo
However I noticed black jordans in general sort of turn out better on avg than white ones. I thought the 2010s were decent

We need to see the 2000 2010 and 2014 and og lined up comparison contrast pics

Can't have any kind of debate or discussion in this thread cause everybody is an expert. That's already been proven since bossman has already had to step in multiple times.
