Released in 95Production date was in 94
Not trying to single you out but why does the community continue to refer to the AJ 1 retros from "94" when they really dropped in 1995?
Because it's grandfathered in at this point. Accuracy isn't about to beat out habit.
Do you need a box of tissues? Lol Delivery is more essential in storytelling than accuracy. You seem to connect actual facts with storytelling when no such connection is required. I dont know the exact date MJ shattered the backboard when playing in Italy but I can YouTube it and see him shattering glass over 3 dudes!! And that makes me not even care about a date!And this is why accuracy in storytelling doesn't matter anymore because it gets tainted over the years.

Stop being so dramatic. It’s been almost 30 years since the 94’s came out. No one cares their exact date. We all know its the first retro of the 1.
Nah. I just think it's comical at this point because even though people know they were released in 95 (unless you're hearing this for the very first time), they're culturally referenced as 94s. I don't know if it's because people are uneducated about the release, or just ultimately refuse or are afraid to call them 95s. I don't mind getting crucified over it because 95 is the correct year they released. Same with the AJ 2. The AJ 3 is the only one that released in 94.
Release dates back then didn’t matter all that much because practically ever Jordan sat for months. Not to mention the newer Generation was probably in diapers in 94-95 and they base mostly everything on tag dates. Even Nike base their warranty on tag date, not actual release dates.

Ehhh, that's not entirely true. Back before they started numbering Jordans, everybody referred to them by year. 3's = 88's, 4's = 89's, 5's = 90's and so on. 1's were just "the first Jordans" lol. No goofy nicknames or anything. "Yo man, you got any Jordans?" "Yeah, I got the white and grey 89's and the black 90's."
Your comment doesn’t really make any sense as a reply to mine…but I have never heard a person call them by year. They were just simply New/old Jordans.
My comment was no one really cared about release dates back then…not until the Concord 11s when sold out Jordans and lines started.
Never heard them called by year like jshortt I've only seen that for Air Maxes.. but I do remember when we called them the new Jordans-no numbers.

Honestly, who cares at this point…It would be one thing if modern sneaker heads were actually into this hobby for the shoes, but we all know it’s a money thing now…Why the hell am I going to waste my time trying to educate somebody that literally couldn’t possibly care less about the history of the sneaker? No sweat off my back…Call em what you want …
