not all '94 white-cement 3 retros are unwearable, trust me
some wish it to be the case to get their slight in but it's not
I saw an old dude at the bar last year with a beat up pair with Nike Air on the back.
Sucks that they still have Jordan on the outsole.
I heard about this last Christmas from a friend that works at Jordan. Good to see it finally happening. The other thing he told me was that they would be VERY limited and pushing these into the $250 range. Guess we'll see if that's true, but so far he's never given me any reason to doubt him.
Peace,

I mean, I understand WHY they'd do this from a business standpoint. But damn....as a consumer that hurts. I have no doubts this is what JB will do.
When a shoe that I originally copped for $100 retails for $250, it may be time to just walk away with my happy childhood memories still intact.

How much was a gallon of milk in 1988?
@ kindly asked, you're a funny dude.
If you know you're history, which I don't think you really do; you would know the first wave of retros in 1994 were a huge flop. Nike ceased production on the IV's because of how flat sales were. It also helped that Mike decided to go back to the Bulls so Nike was able to ditch it with a valid excuse. When Jordan Brand was given it's own separate line they released team editions to balance the brand, it wasn't known if there was a marketplace for retros, but the blk IV was a hit and the rest is history.
Six years ago I worked in the industry and would go to Nike's offices here in Los Angeles. Our rep at the time tried to feed us the same bs about Gentry and why Nike Air was no longer on the shoe. The truth is Mike now had the power to alter the shoe how ever he wanted. Gentry was not the individual who determined a jumpman being put on anything, if you believe that you're delusional.

You need concrete evidence that Jordan is an egotistical control freak?So you're telling me that what Gentry said in the interviews about Nike Air not appearing on retros in order to preserve the OGs, and collectors was a flat out lie or a cover up for MJ's real initiatives? Show me some concrete, factual evidence that this was really Michael Jordan's original ambition for retros sporting a jumpman instead of Nike Air.
I like how you leave that 5% window open, JB has everyone by the balls.Real talk though just give me these the bc 3 s with NA done right and the black infrared and carmine 6s done right and ill be 95 % out the game
Ha ya, I'll admit it, I will prob never "retire" from this passion/hobby of mine. Buttttttt, if as I see it, Jordan Brand continues to listen to it's consumers more and and give them what they want then ya, I can see myself cutting back significantly. I already have all the shoes I need, and can afford to be selective and buy only ones that really catch my interest, haven't been released in a while, in original colorways, etc. Like I said, give me some quality carmines/black infrareds and hell some Colombias that won't yellow and I'm straight for a bit. As of next year, so far, I'm only buying Royal 1's, black/red thirteens, black/white "he got games whatever the fk you want to call them" 13's and maybe the grape 5's for now.I like how you leave that 5% window open, JB has everyone by the balls.
