Bro, that was a fun week on here! So much entertainment. Top 10 NT moment for sure.

I’m about to just pull the trigger on a pair of 2015’s tomorrow and sell some **** for em.

Legacy? If you’re under 35 you probably don’t remember MJ playing. It’s all hype and look at me now.

This is certainly true, but despite being 21, born several years too late to witness his final retirement from the Bulls and really just too late to witness his career as a whole, the current state of technology and the internet has made it so that I was and am still able to witness MJ's playing days thanks to archived tapes being made digital and uploaded online for one's own viewing pleasure, as well as word of mouth from people like yourselves who both know and experienced the history as you've actually seen him play. Of course, it isn't the same as physically having existed in those times, watching him play live and all, but it's enough to develop an appreciation of that era, of Michael as a player, of Tinker Hatfield and much more. I'm not saying I know EVERYTHING, because there's a lot that I don't. But I've learned a lot too just by doing my own due diligence out of genuine interest/passion and by being here on NT for so long. Unfortunately the hype and status symbol factor of Jordan's is definitely a major driving force that encourages people in my age range to buy but even so, I do believe the legacy MJ built is still an equally, if not more important force and a massive part of the allure of the shoes as well. Sadly the two go hand in hand at this point but at their core they are timeless sneakers worn by the greatest player to ever touch the hardwood. Without that, they'd just be some nice looking sneakers and nothing more.

Kinda wild that so many people are saying "this isn't what I expected from 'Reimagined.'" Did y'all just not listen? Every single reliable source told us what they were going to be. It was just a matter of seeing what parts of the shoe were gonna be more distressed/what kind of distress it would be. Instead we had people speculating about patent leather and canvas panels.

Has anyone already put in their pre-order with that Zadeh guy yet that will most likely not be delivered and then reimbursed in store credit?

How about the bulk buyers? Have they also put in their massive quantity orders with that guy that will also most likely not be delivered, especially since it's a much higher quantity he's dealing with?

I thought that guy was joking with that…

This definitely isn’t true, I’m 30 and definitely watched MJ as a jit

I assume you were referring to my post, if you are, I was joking because I know that fool and his crooked operation are in the toilet now.

I was being a fool with it myself.

That's the one thing I'm waiting on too. They said it was supposed to be somewhere in between the 2014 remaster and the new 85, right?

 

[Bert.]

These are gonna be $400 minimum it feels like

More sadly

I’m not sure, I haven’t been following too closely. I usually just wait for real pics. So many of these guys are wrong I disregard what they spew. lol

I can’t believe this fool lives in my town.

…I’ve probably seen him at the grocery store a few times.

$180 for these. It's an easy no for me because I only like originals. It sucks that they can't keep the default specs that most will prefer.

we ‘ll see u on release day lol

You were 8 when he retired. Wizards don't count.

 

[therealest1]

Get the F out of here with that. My word is real. I will be a purist who likes originals until I die.

I don't like gimmicky like this one. It's backwards to get rehashed shoes with an aged look at a higher retail price than what the brand new originals used to cost.

He was probably stealing bread.

 

[AllGrails]

I probably watched like 400 MJ games in my life. WGN was a blessing. No better time to be a basketball fan. Game has changed so much.

What you don’t get watching games on tape or even in Last Dance is how this man was like a god amongst humans.
