To those who actually remember the shoe. I remember when they first came out. They sat. If you really like the shoe then fine, no problem. I honestly think people were dying for the shoe because it was one of the few colorways not yet to be retroed. When I think of this colorway, I think of the Maroon VI's as well. People want those, but as I recall, that shoe sat around for a long time. I just remembered the days where the Bulls colorways were most desirable because MJ played and wore those in games the majority of the time.

If you're going to use that mentality, then the only reason ANY pair of retro Air Jordan sells well is due to hype, because just about ALL of them "sat" when they originally came out even in Chicago.  With the exception of the black/red XIs, I clearly remember all the current models sitting on shelves so long that you could pick them up at a pretty good mark down on clearance each year when the next models were coming out.  Yes, that includes the precious infrared VIs, and even the now so popular XIs.  I remember people constantly commenting about how hideous the XI was, calling them rain shoes, cop shoes, etc. and saying that the only reason some people were buying them was because they were Jordans.  Otherwise, no one would buy a shoe that ugly.  Now people talk about how awesome patent leather is, and how they're a classic and possibly the best Air Jordan ever made in the original line up.  Funny how things change 10+ years later, isn't it?

You have to keep in mind that AJs were made in HUGE quantities when they were new/current models.  Not only did they have a ton on release day, but they were restocked multiple times for each model.  If a store ran out, they ordered more.  If they ran out again, they reordered again.  They were just like any regular consumer merchandise.  There was no such thing as quick strikes, or limited runs, or even single stocks on AJs back then.  For example, everyone and their mother had the AJ VI when I was in high school, yet the stores never ran out of them before the VIIs came out.  So the fact they "sat" is not an indication that they weren't popular.  They were just grossly mass produced due to the HUGE demand.

spot on. 
Not only that but if people didnt like them and now they do its because of hype, but more than anything I'd say its due to style and preferences changing over the years.
I remember in the earlier pages of the Bordeaux thread people were bashing and complaining. come release day they most likely copped

Beautiful Post. And Jordans were sold EVERYWHERE in the 90s. I used to get the new J every year in DILLARDS while my mom was shopping for purses. I think even JC penny's carried them. 

People did hate the XI too. I wore the bred xi and routinely got hate on it.  People thought they were hideous. Really is funny how things change.

So, please tell "memphissfinest" to, in the words of THE ROCK, "Know your damn role and shut your damn mouth!"

This JB hypebeast swore no had "green" on their joints just cause he went through "3 stock rooms" and come up empty handed.  Even accused many of us of being "liars" if ain't post pics to prove HIM (of all NTers) wrong.

"sat" is wrong term.

After you sold 3 million records, your CD ain't "sitting' in the stores because you see it for sale openingly.

This site boy... Gift and curse sometimes...
