The article mentions MJ didn't want them to use calfskin? Is that correct? Is it an inferior material? What do they plan on changing it too?

JB is a business. They're not going to do anything to cut their profit margins. If there is an increase in quality, you can bet you will pay for it fourfold. The cynic in me, hell the person that has been witnessing the decline in quality over the past 10 or so years, thinks that it's an excuse to justify the increase in prices. From their standpoint, why do they need to increase quality? The vast majority of shoes they put out sell out in minutes. Why announce this now?

wasnt chicago 1's rumored to release in 2015?
hype will be ridiculous if they are "remastered"
calf skin is just high end leather that's very smooth that they use on fashion sneakers like Balenciagas. basically MJ was saying don't go crazy on the upgrades, I got cribs and mistresses to pay for
if they come out after spring 2015 they will be
Dude acts like he wont be making a profit smh manLol! As someone who loves designer sneakers that would have been a welcomed move. I think Nike because of their size compared to designer brands could probably drive prices pretty low on the hides. Maybe not low enough. Were the originals calfskin?

Give me proper OG 1s, and correct versions of original colorways of IIIs, IVs, Vs, and VIs. That is all I ask....I will pay for a product I want. I will NOT pay for almost. The mentality of "at least they are retroing (insert model here)" has never made sense to me. Do them right or don't waste my time.
it would be cool for them to put out some special retros with high end leather but their demographic would not be able to afford every Jordan being made of calf skin. Balenciaga Arenas are the cheapest shoe I know of that uses calf skin and they cost almost 600$, most are closer to 1000$. I think those Jordan 1 style luxury sneakers are made with calf skin, and they're gonna cost like 400$.
and no OGs weren't calf skin they were just quality leather that was made to be the best quality shoe possible as opposed to the cost cutting stuff they've been putting out
youll never get exact shape
It is good news but really its a tactic to get people to buy their collection all over again because its now better quality - basically they have run out of shoes to retro.
"If yall don't think that these quality improvements had nothing to do with AAAA+ fake Nike/Jordan products rehab spots are open 24/7"they just realized their Quality is now on fakes level lol
Im with ya man, they remaster all them OG 4s with NIKE AIR on back and OG quality leather and nubuck id have no problem at all paying 200 retail at all on the white and black cements. WC4s ard the G.O.A.T.S. to me.This is good news if they actually do it. I wouldn't mind paying 185 for cement 4s if they have good leather and a nice shape. While I still feel like a price increase isn't needed to get that quality at the current price point of Jordan's, it is what it is. Literally the only shoe I want is cement 4s though.
