Not so funny story about my gamma 12s, I won a raffle at FA. Then me being an idiot, I mistakenly threw the ticket in garbage
Sooooo, I couldn’t get that pair, I got a good deal from a random NT’er. After the sell dude told me, He lost money because of the shipping.... Because he needed the money to pay a bill...I’m like why are you buying shoes, when you need to pay bills

Indigo’s are WAAAAAY better. Not even close. Also, the material on International Flights is pretty cheap.

The Indigos have grown on me but they still make me mad because I'm like why not just drop the obsidian's.
Make that blue darker and throw some white laces on 'em. Good looks on the quality though.

I see your point but for some reason I like the Indiglos better then the obsidians.The Indigos have grown on me but they still make me mad because I'm like why not just drop the obsidian's.

I want to like 'em but I remember when the obsidians dropped in 97, that dark blue made the eyelets pop, the Carolina jumpman on the back. Those differences just stand out to me.

JB continues to disrespect the 12. Taxis with suede? Stop with all the suede BS and bring back the original already!

So we’ve had CNY and Super Bowl with tear away material, Indiglos with fade away, University Golds with waterproofing, now suede toe taxis 
. What’s next Adapt Cherries, Fireproof Playoffs, laceless Obsidians, horseradish game royals and retractable wheel Gammas?

I need Playoff’s with great leather and exact specifications before I’m 100 years old.

Man f@ck JB for that taxi mashup. Literally milking all the money out of people with these nonsense color ways or “almost” OG variations. Not budging. Keeping my money. I’ll wait

What a joke. Thank god I don't really care about Taxis anymore, but whether it's Gentry back at it or if it would've happened anyway with the other people running brand strategy over there ... they're really ******* up the good path they were on from about 2015-18/19.
I mean, how many almost-OG Taxis are they going to do? The real B of this for people who have been waiting a long time for these to return is, this means we won't see a legit OG Taxi retro for another how many years? Seriously, WTF is their problem?
They suddenly seem more concerned than ever that if they drop their gems, no one will buy anything else. But it's difficult to see much evidence of that. First of all, when you go a solid 5-8 (and in some cases, more) years between re-releases, I fail to see much reason to worry that people who bought them the previous time won't buy them again. Second, look at what happens when they drop OG colorways of, say, the IV: they still sell a boatload of other non-OG IV colorways in quick succession.
I don't even dislike changing the mudguards to suede. They can make some cool versions of the 12 by doing that ... but don't bastardize the OGs with it. Make some retro+ 12s with suede, but in other cool colors and leave the OGs alone. Look at the AMM IIIs: they look dope AF. But that's how to do it, rather than releasing WC IIIs and making the EP panels gray suede like the AMMs. That's basically what they're doing here to the 12s. It's complete assclownery.
