*disclaimer* *This is "long". No appologies* *read it, or not* .1.
I owned OG Infs'when I was a lil'brat, 1st $100 + pair of skips, first Jordan's, they're why I'm an NT member today, probly'. Blah.
These aren't Infs', period. Simple as that. I differentiate. Next.
I'm never droppin'$500 on a pair of skips, ever. Can't justify it, personally. Even 250+ makes my stomach turn ..for 2 shoes? Really?
So after I get my hands on Grapes & Carmines, DS, in my size, I'll never pay anytihng over retail again.
Coppin'retro Infs'is a no-go for me ..not to mention potential crumbling. I want to WEAR the shoe. I wanna'put it on weekly, I wanna'beat itinto the ground & love every second of it. I wanna'crumble it, not father time. Blah..
Reality is, I may never own a pair of Infs'again that are even similar to the ones I had as a kid. I read the info/heard the rumor/read the forum ..far asthe "pack". My issue there would be, I can't make decisions on facts I don't have. You guys who DO have CREDIBLE info need to realize, thatthe average person just won't/can't count on anything, consider it to be fact, until they can see or touch for themselves. Makes sense, no?
I've never SEEN, THOSE shoes. I"ve held the Black/Varsity Red joints. How's that saying go? ..one in the hand, better than 2 in the bush, orsomething to that effect. Even if it drops, no guarantees how all the variables shake out aesthetically, until we SEE'em, feel me?
I'm coppin'this shoe, no appologies, & beating it into the ground. Simply because I'd rather pay $150 for a pair of black VI's to wearWHENEVER I feel like ..not when the weather's nice, or I have "somewhere to go"..feel me? ..than to pay HALF A STACK for Inf's?
..or what's the rate now, 300/400 for the Black/Gold's?
..vs $150?
On its own, and of course IMO? ..this shoe's dope, period.
I, unlike some of you, will NEVER tire of B/R CW's.
I don't think, PERSONALLY, this shoe is the POS some are making it out to be. The pair I held had no glue issues, no smudging/ashiness on the upper.They're pretty clean. I wasn't sure what to expect really, even w/all the pics. I was waiting to touch them to decide if I wanted them in my life ornot.
After touchin'em, I couldn't see myself not owning them. That's it.
Daps to the heads in this thread wondering where the sensibilty is, in a DISCUSSION FORUM, vs flaming, type fighting, "hating", etc. I see you.It's as if people accept their perception of life, as concrete reality, and totally disallow for anyone else's perception to exist or be plausible? ..what IS that?
Any adult should be on some buy what YOU like, and what you like ONLY tip by now, no? We DO see that our, mine, yours, his, hers ..OPINIONS ..are just that.OPINIONS. No?
If you think you might want this shoe, go hold a pair and choose. Easy. Unless your place of residence disallows you? ..go hold'em. Choose. SIMPLE.
Be happy w/YOUR choice, let others be happy w/THEIR choices. ..it's all so much more simple than it's made to be.
I lurk, BEEN lurkin'all over this site for awhile now ..see so much hate on here. Word up, it is what it is. The hate is thick on ALL net forums ..saysalot about humanity. ..just say
A meaningless opinion.
