DON'T FLAME ME, I ONLY MADE THIS TOPIC B/C I WANTED A CLEAN SLATE, NOT CLUTTERED WITH NOOBS/ HBs JUMPING ON THE QUALITY BANDWAGON, PLUS IMO THIS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN JUST QUALITY DECLINATION:
Why do so many "older" NTers/ collectors in general still buy OR even still pay attention to Jordan's trash and upcoming releases? I mean we all know the shoes aren't as good as they used to and we constantly complain, but yet A LOT of the complainers/ guys who know exactly why and what happened, still buy new Jordans. I mean sure a CW may not have released in 10+ years (Columbias, Concords, W/c IVs, white/black/ true red Xs (you know which ones), etc), but that doesn't mean you need to buy them. Do you guys really feel the need to have crappy quality retros JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING A SHOE AGAIN when you know they won't be as good? You'd be much happier with the OGs, and I know it's not like you guys don't have the money either, the pairs are still around, sure some more than other, but the "rare" ones do still pop up every now and then
While you guys are free to buy whatever you want, it just is odd to me how so many of you guys complain, yet still go out and buy the stuff on RD (to older collectors especially).
After this year/next year (and the "stuff" drops), I'd really be interested to see how many older collectors are left, since the shoes that still had you paying to attention to Jordans would have already rereleased.
