Considering. But are they really worth $220? The price is my hangup.

They did it justice. Looks exactly like the 2000's with a the new heel bumps instead of the chalky af motor oil looking OG.
2000>These>OG=2007>2011
I don't usually go this low, but I'm getting my friend to bot hustle these.

consider this; even if retail was 170, resell would still be like 250-280

People do know that the ankle part only happens due to age right?

Can you show me a picture off the 90s
Cause I am pretty sure that the wax affect happens only with age and wear. The metallic 5 always had a durabuck

Well I came out the store with a pair when they first released and it was not shiny so me> online pics
Not sure why you guys keep trying to tell yourself the retros are better than ogs. Just enjoy the damn shoes
Nothing will ever be better than the original. That goes for everything.
I also had the 2000 retros just sold them a month back the ogs **** all over the 2000 pair and the 2000 pair was actually nice

None of those pics are from the 90's. I had the OG's and they only got shinny over time, they didn't look that way out the box.

If you refer to this picture you can clearly see that the back is durabuck. Due to age/wear the "wax affect" is taking its toll

I just disagree with the nothing will ever top the Ogs way of thinking.
And I don't think anybody is trying to convince themselves that they are better than the Ogs. I honestly don't think anybody cares. It's the "OG" dudes that keeps comaparing and complaining.
Either way can't wait for these

I just can't believe that people are saying " that nothing will top the ogs" when they don't know the exact material of the shoe..... Like what? Lol

Maybe you didn't notice it, and I'm sure it became more obvious over time maybe due to the retros not liking like that but it was there even on infrareds. We know nike used different durabuck

i just like the extra detail, it's not necessary but i appreciate the look of it. I don't have to have owned it, it's just my preference aesthetically. The new look of the infrared and metallics looks very plain without the detail. It's just like those who prefer the full bllack durabuck 2012 charcoal 7s over the dura/nubuck OG and 2002 pairs.
I'm still copping the new pair but I'm sure many others can agree the the og would have been nice too.

It wasn't really shiny it was just more rubbery and smooth compared to what's used now

Yup, the material used then is completely different in today's age. Durabuck now last longer, preventing "wax look" from occurring.
My 2000 metallic 5, the back heel was starting to have that was look due to the constant wear/touching if the material
The durabuck with age loses it moisture causing it to have the look
