Agreed. There are maybe 2-3 retro CWs out of the entire Air Jordan line that are really good.
Rest are garbage.
Jordan Brand will be remastering (building better quality shoes) starting in 2015

I wouldn't say all that, I think many of the retro+ including the Oreo/Columbia 4s or the '01 Cool Grey 11s were great. I just believe that JB should focus on "remastering" the jays that need to be "remastered" which includes the OG color ways and at least slapping the nike air on some retros.
TBH I never liked the Grape 5's and thought they were/are basic.

I believe those 7's are going to be a black based color way. 7's whose last 3 digits in the style code that start with a 0 usually are. Maybe the Bordeaux's or Raptors. I would to see them both be done again, CORRECTLY
*Sorry for the long list again*

There are a few retro plus Js that can't be denied. Olympic 6 and Toro 4 come to mind. Most are misses though IMO.

Depends on the pair, but most will.
The reason there aren't any pictures of these is because they're completely unsubstantiated rumors from last summer that people are clinging to for dear life.
Besides, you can damn near use your imagination based on the fact that the IV mold pretty much hasn't changed at all. Take the last retro of each, assume Jordan Brand would be a bit less scumbag-like about the materials (durabuck and soft leather), adjust colors on the White Cement since the Oreos seem to more or less be the right color, and slap a Nike Air on the heel along with an extra $30 (if you're lucky) on the price tag. In short: they'll be meh at best (in my opinion) since they still won't look like the original or first retro but people will eat them right up. As usual.
For the I's, just imagine Chicago colors on the Fragments or Lasers.
Hares and Bordeauxes would be a bit harder to envision based on the French Blues, but we'll see those (at least the Hares) soon enough anyway.

Another thing I'm wondering is if Jordans will still be "remastered" in 2016? If not, then the prices should go back to normal.
Unless of course JB tries to pull a fast one. I'll hate to see the price tag of next year's XI's as well.

Borderline retired from JB, but I need a fresh pair of Hares.
Other than that, it's whatever.

New pricing isn't going anywhere but up, so the product might as well be of "Remastered" quality.
Let's be honest, AJ retros would still sell out if the materials stayed as they are now and the price point jumped 15%.
At least Nike is throwing us a bone with the slight up tilt of premium materials.

I guess we're all going to hell, along with these prices then.not sure if srs...

Seems like a smart move on JB's part to come up with such a convincing excuse....

I don't know, you have 5's, Hare 7's and 11's dropping that same month (based on Sole Collectors release calender). That's a blessing right there.I just wanna see the chicagos already but the hype on those is gonna be

Yeah, but you got that NAYKEE AYYEER on the tongue, so mostly people who are fiending for NA 1's would gobble them up.
I'll wait for those though.

I will retire once they release my favorite Jays in the way I like. They messed up the Bordeauxs/Raptors in 2011 and the 4s in 2012. If they get it right and give me the aquas in 2016 I will be done!!!!!!!!!!(Unitl they re-release the metallic 5's and Black/Infra 6's in their true form)Borderline retired from JB, but I need a fresh pair of Hares.

Maybe I haven't looked back far enough, but is JB continuing next year with the year of the 7, then 8, then 9?

What about the Bordeauxs was messed up? I know the green was a different shade but Messed up? I thought they were pretty solid.

Wore those Bordeauxs today actually.
If JB ever gets the 2 right, I'm all in.
