I could care less about how the shoe feels as long as the material is comfortable, relatively durable and looks appropriate. I'm simply pointing out that OGs are not on a pedestal, are not high quality, and that many had issuss that were later corrected in their first retrosI'm not surprised by all these trolls
These are the same people who prefer the Ashy Larry material on OG colorways over durabuck because it's more "premium"

I somewhat dislike half-baked retros like the ones Gentry Brand pumped out in 2010-2013 and I don't support price gouging.

Fire Red 4's, Bling Blings, and 3M Tongue still on my top 5 grails that I need to cop.I think I'll cry when I get these. Last shoe to my top 5 Jordan's
Only thing I see here is a higher tongue(none issue to me) and better speckles on 2016 and a better shoe in 2016.I love the 2016 cement 4s but...
This...
will never beat this...
Bordeaux's, Aqua's, Black Infrareds, White cements and Metallics. Day what you want about them being hypebeast choices but I love the aesthetics of each shoe and it's history.
Amen.Ain't nothing hypebeast about those shoes. All classics and some of the best shoes ever made.
The mid top AJ4 has a certain look to it, compared to the low. I like it, but I also happen to prefer the 1999's speckling over the shotgun blast one on the 2016 or the one on the 89.So JB takes off 25% the shoe and now the new retros are better??
While I agree with you. It is hard to take your opinion when you've never owned originals in their initial drop. Now owning 2 retros makes it acceptable to pass judgement on all? How would it sound if I said all women are a certain way if I only dated a few.I could care less about how the shoe feels as long as the material is comfortable, relatively durable and looks appropriate.

Yes they made nice cosmetic changes, ONLY in the 94, 99-2003 era do I find those changes acceptable. Quality never got better than their predecessor on those tho. I'll just give you the 94 1s cuz the collar fix. Aside from that nah. I wouldnt put the OGs on a pedestal when it comes to looks all the time necessarily. But quality, JB was pumping out A1 ish at that time. With todays tech the retros should be lightyears ahead in all depts, but JB cant even touch their own primitive stages.
This is what ends up happening majority of the time tho lol especially what was talked about in the earlier pages with the hot garbage thin EP the OG 3s have.

Yeh, buh we wasnt clear. Owned them when they 1st dropped? OR owned em years down the road when they were already aged
Its more like the 1997 special edition Star Wars remaster compared to the original film without CGI.That comparision fails. It's like taking a crappy grained cult classic film from the 80s and giving it the 8K scanned Criterion edition in super digital HD Blu-ray
Honestly, for the price they charge, we should. There's no mystique of these being some top of the line, bleeding edge shoes. I sure know that Reebok Pump retros aren't going for $400 retail.While I agree with you. It is hard to take your opinion when you've never owned originals in their initial drop.

Thats where I agree w em. But then he said quality wasnt that good on Ogs, thats where it stopped. Jawns were court shoes in the day, now casuals. Do the math.This is what ends up happening majority of the time tho lol especially what was talked about in the earlier pages with the hot garbage thin EP the OG 3s have.

Nah u good fam. I was not eem clear enough.Yeh, buh we wasnt clear. Owned them when they 1st dropped? OR owned em years down the road when they were already aged
Oh, that I don't know.
the new toe boxes are too bulky. Original molds were better aesthetically and that is a scientific fact.
I can't attest to the court performance as I wasn't around back then, nor do I b-ball. I also do notice things such as the 3's/4's losing padding and height to blend in a sea of low top casuals. The cost cutting on 11's is also obvious and that's an unwinnable war.Thats where I agree w em. But then he said quality wasnt that good on Ogs, thats where it stopped.

Nah u good fam. I was not eem clear enough.
I much as I like the 2016's, they'll never beat the OG's...I love the 2016 cement 4s but...
This...
will never beat this...
