^wow, helluva grab at $62

Like that this thread goes all the way back to the first retro release. At the time, I had to buy a pair second hand for above retail (forget the amount but not that much over). My understanding is the ‘08 release was limited to boutiques and maybe a few of the larger retailers, but not nearly as available as this year’s release.

Like folks are saying, great to see a cult classic drop with minimal fanfare and ample supply. With improved quality (toe, comfort) no less. Even got to see them in person before buying, rarely happens these days.
 
Yeah just went on there, I see. Damn my size is sold out in all except the 05 ASG jersey. I want it just not one I’m pressing for, but that price! Definitely may need to make a move soon.
They had 4 or 5 different ones for about 115 or so, as well. But they didn't have my size in the few I wanted
 
My OGs haven’t shipped yet and I ordered them at like 5 am pacific…I guess I’ll see if they fulfill them or cancel on me for the second time on these shoes
 
I got mine today, I ordered 2 pairs but Nike f*cked these ones up. I hate the materials on the inside, the leather swoosh and most of all the shape........ I will probably wear a pair as beaters and the other pair will go back to the store: for me these are not collectible. I have taken some pictures for the ones who are still doubting:

I don’t hate them as much as I thought I would , they are perfect rain beaters
 
The “geniuses” over at Nike that were responsible for this OG Blue cw really went out of their way to screw them up. They should be ashamed of themselves. I hope Nike somehow read this. Like seriously? Why was it necessary to change the materials SO much? Even the damn swoosh is leather? :smh:. Just pure gross negligence is what this was. Plain and simple.

Does the box call them OG’s like the teals, hope not. Literally everything on the shoe that’s leather was supposed to be felt or suede, whatever it’s called. IMO, these make the teals even more desirable since they did them right.
