Let me comment from a unique perspective: someone who LIVED the Jordan era (in the Chicagoland area nonetheless), but only recently (06-13) started collecting.
It's quite simple really: I COULD GIVE A SH** about the color etc...
As a kid never being able to afford these shoes and now, getting to relive part of my past, is priceless and gratifying!!! If you're a purist, then maybe collecting isn't for you!? If you continue to complain, hey that's cool too. However, I think a silent minority are just like me, simply HAPPY to be in a position to cop these kicks...
Shoot, there's only 3 other pair of shoes I really want from back when other than J's. Them Hiraches (sp), Tim Hardaway Air Raids, and the Penny I's.
So whereas it's highly unlikely I'll be able to catch those kicks, it's nice to know, I have a weekly shot at piece of the past with the Jordans.
