Damn nostalgia... I remember I had this issue. Parents weren't buying me Js back then. At the time I think I was rocking my black and white Garnett Max Uptempo 3.0 proudly. LOL
 
I remember seeing Kadeem Hardison wear these on a late night show or something before they came out, and knowing without knowing... I said to myself, "those must be the new Jordans" walking up to the tv and trying to see every corner of em. That was our IG, our internet.... there was no zSneakerheadz. Just chance and word of mouth...
Word.
I remember watching Nas perform If Ruled The World on Showtime at the Apollo and looking at his feet, I was like that has to be the new Air Jordan. A Foot Action employee let me see the release calendar and compared to what I had seen, they were indeed the Taxis.

Been out the sneaker game for a minute. Does finishline and jd still do EA? I need a pair of these

It's a few days late but it's still valuable information. EA as of now just depends on the hype of the shoe and when the shipment really arrives. My store didn't get ours in until Tuesday with more still arriving Wednesday. My guess on the next shoe that will be EA is for sure the BC3's
 
Really wish the 2006 retro would return at some point. Really miss my pair. Very unpopular opinion I’m sure but give me the 2006 w/ ribs over the OG any day. 14s just look better with the ribs.
Might be alone in this, but I like em way more with the ridges. Didn't have the OGs but did have the 2006 retroes, and I loved them. Hoping for a discount...
Have had every iteration of the shoe and will 100% die on this hill. Ribs >. Top 5 Jordan all time and soty for me regardless though.
 
I prefer ribless myself. Cleaner look, though it’s not a huge deal. The 14 is a great looking shoe regardless. The sleekest in the original lineup imo.

I haven’t owned a pair of Black Toes since the OG so I’m looking forward to having my pair in hand.
 
Let’s see some comparisons with these, the 2016, the 2006, and the originals!

Also, how’s the leather on these? Stiff as a board? Lol
 
I’m gonna post comparisons to the 2014 black toes. Sadly no longer have my OG pair but I know they’re gonna be much better than the 14’s.

Besides the leather being higher quality and the toe shape being fixed, they actually produced it correctly without the over exaggerated piping down the tongue. It’s an atrocious detail on the 2014’s. They look fake.
