Why wouldnt he. He shouldnt go buy a new shoe every other game just because the midsoles are garbage on IIIs and IVs.Why Beasley even wearing those in a game?
Who could play in retros?! You need this new technology to help you maximize your game! Oh the ignorance...
many people in the NBA and college basketball do. These are professional athletes, not the guys you shoot it up with.

I still understand the other side of the argument, and agree with it. Of course the new technology isn't "necessary", but have you worn a pair of retro Jordans? I know that's a dumb question...but seriously. Retro Jordan's feel like a pair of lifestyle shoes, not a performance shoe, in my opinion. Not only that, but the build of Jordans is not what it once was. I remember wearing a pair of black cement iv's and they FELT like a performance sneaker, in 1989. I distinctly remember a very firm arch support that was a seperate piece that was attached to the insole. I still wouldn't wanna wear a shoe of that level of technology as an NBA player today. To make it worse, the IV's today are NOWHERE NEAR as well built or performance minded as they once were when they originally dropped. Same goes for Vs VIs XII's....whatever. All these retros feel like lifestyle sneakers for casual wear. They don't come anywhere near the performance level of a modern day signature shoe like Kobe, LeBron, D Rose, or Hyperdunks etc. They have better materials and build that is simply WAY BETTER than a Jordan retro. It's kind of like snowboard boots because I feel similar levels of improvement have been made to those. I LAUGH at the idea of wearing what was considered the best boots 13 years ago. THEY SUCK in comparison to the boots of today, and I'm reaping the improvements gained in technology today. Put on a pair of any Jordan retro 1 thru 13 and tell me you'd actually wear those on court in the NBA after trying on a pair of Kobe's or Lebrons. The difference in feel and responsiveness is unarguably waaaaaaaaaay better. Am I crazy for thinking this?
Somehow I doubt this. Most places it's pretty hard to find anything above a 13 in retro J's...maybe 14. Most of these players are wearing size 16, 17, even 20. WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE? I'm thinking JB hooks em up. I'm not saying they don't pay for them, but they probably get contacted by the players agent, or publicist or whatever and JB says, "Hell yeah you can give us all that free marketing"....here is your size 18.They go to the store and get the shoes the same way we do.
thats fine, can us mortals walk in them one day without them cracking though?
With a Jordan retro? You ask for too much
im almost about done with this brand....at this point im only copping to replace older pairs once they start to fail me..but new colorwaysWith a Jordan retro? You ask for too much
Michael Jordan does not run JB, it only bears his name.
ill take it a step further, many HYBRIDS and mashups that we dont care about have OUTSTANDING quality.
