For all of you "older heads who remember when the 1 came out" harken bacc to that golden time and tell me, wise gents, how many colorways did they drop the first time around ? ? ? Over 30 if my info is correct (I'm 26 so don't remember the 1 dropping though I was alive) so why do people keep making these redundant "they're killing the 1" " the 1 is the new Dunk" "they make too many colors of the 1" threads ?
I bet in 1985-86 metallic green or purple was not the most desired colorway for the first edition of the Nike Air Jordan. Nonetheless, they dropped and people copped.... so is it really that much of a stretch of the imagination that BJ (Brand Jordan, the actual name) would, in 2K9, drop a couple dozen more colors to appeal to their target audience, whom I'm sad to say is not you "older heads" ? ? ?
The Jordan 1 is my favorite signature and I have a dozen pair....my grail is finally being released in September (School Days) OG Blacc/Soft Grey. Do I wish EVERY 1 dropped would be an OG color??? Of course I do, but that NEVER happens so let's move on to topics with more.... substance ? ? ? I'm sure they all will in time.
Back then only a few colorways were released to the general public, most of the non-bulls colorways were provided to colleges endorsed by Nike.You make it sound like we were flooded with them like we are today. I'm just going to leave it that, seems like you have some real emotion tided into theI's so we'll just move on, but real quick you could have EASILY just moved on past this thread and found one that had more substance for your taste,sorry your grail is being pimped out. I'm sure they all will in time.

QFT
and some models are just hideous...
To me JB can make 1000 horrible colorways of the 1 but the design will always be classic regardless.
As long as I like certain colorway I'll want to cop em, regardless of how some may feel the sneaker is being exploited....
It's just like how NTers like the ZK3, the 23s and various other designs I find atrocious, It doesn't stop them from liking it.
IMO to each his own, I can't really say I agree...

All in all, thanks for the tidbit of info and I wasnt flaming you in any way, just trying to historically fill in the blanks for those youngsters who may not know....
It's cool, sorry I took it outta context as flaming.
I wasn't trying to attack the product but I do know exactly what you mean. My thread stemmed from a conversation I had with a few people and I was like letme post a thread and see what others think cause we were all pretty much in agreement. OG colorway I's are still fresh the Black and Grey's will becopped.
