Black tongue Fire Red 5s are the GOAT 5s! I don't like the 3M Fire Red, the all black midsole is weird.

So instead of talking about Jordans let's admire this picture collage of fakes.

I just don't understand why they're so strict on language here. This is the only forum like that.

Well when you have adults that act like children (and desire to dress like em) on this forum you can see why they are strict.

I don't make the rules and I get what you're saying but it's really not that big of a deal.

The color of the Fire red, and lighter grey looks better... But that's about it.

2000 pairs are perfect. Still have hope for the Durabuck on the 2016. All these pics we've seen so far are of fakes.

You guys who live and die by the OG versions are like the same old retired fools from the NBA who bash the Warriors and the current NBA because they can't accept that times have changed lol jeez get over it, how many years you guys gonna cry about OG this OG that. THOSE MATERIALS ARE NEVER COMING BACK.

Hey I just think the OG's are better. There's nothing wrong with wanting the shoes you loved as a kid to stay the same. If feel bad for people like you that will never get to experience the quality of what these shoes should be.

Times have changed so the NBA goes from Rucker park to Harlem Globetrotters and we're supposed to keep respecting it? The NBA sucks now bro. They aren't allowed to play defense anymore.

that's just it right there. Many of us have been doing just fine without ever having the OGs in person. We are able to form opinions about what we like more than the other. And while of quality was better than today, low elephant print on the OG 3s is not something ib wish I could have experienced.

opinion is a beautiful thing... not every1 has to agree.
I'm not gonna lie, I really thought the picture of the fakes were real. They look pretty damn good.

No need to feel bad for me man, you OG heads sound miserable because JB/Nike don't make them like they use to so yeah I'm perfectly glad i wasn't old enough to own OGs because you guys whine and cry so much and can't accept/live with what they're producing now. Ya can't love new things lol

They were never amazing quality besides the 2's. What they did during the end of Knight era was keep the price down to the same $100-120 regardless and acceptable quality, case and point the CG4's and Mars.
Jump to right after the recession the $175
2009 Jams and by 2013 we were getting clown toes for that price. The remaster helped, but we know they can deliver 1990-2000 quality for a much cheaper price, the 90's Retros showed they could improve upon the OG's, or in the absence of molds or factories, simplify them for a much cheaper price, ala the 2's.
In short, I dislike 2009-2013 retros, I like the remasters/Most Retros, especially the first two waves, but I know they can do it cheaper.
