Got my pair yesterday for 96 even. I never had the OG's as a kid, although I do remember them and did at one time want them. As far as I'm concernedthese feel solid on foot which is one thing I have always liked about Barkley's in general.

I wore mine straight out of the box when I got home from Foot Locker and they held up well when I went to to the gym to lift. I'm very satisfied with theoutcome and IMO they are pretty sick. Glad I finally got my pair...I have always had a thing for Barkleys.

 

[vahustler]

I would love to have the 94's, but i will wait till i can get even cheaper.

I just got a pair about a month ago and I'm just now getting around to putting up pictures to compare with the OG

Originals

Comparison Lateral

comparison medial

Toungue

And back

Obviously the major difference is the size of the air bubble and the shade of purple used on the tongue (which I think takes a lot away from the shoe).
However, when looking closely I realized the air bubble does not even wrap around the entire heel like others have stated. Look at the medial view and you
will notice that the OG air bubble wraps all the way to the arch, the retros stops short and replaces air with rubber.

These are noticeably less comfortable than the last retro in 04 or whenever it was. I can't believe Nike cannot retro a shoe correctly that they justretroed five years ago perfectly (besides colorways of course). With that being said, these arent terribly uncomfortable and do require some break in time forthe air bubble to soften up a bit. The fit is stellar as with the other cb 94s.

Overall, I'm happy with the shoe, it's just a fee shortcomings that stop me from loving it and buying multiple pairs, especially when I step into myOGs the feel is not the same at all. But you cant live in the past and at least these seem to be fairly limited so they are not just collecting dust on shelvesand you dont see them on a lot of peoples feet, only the true heads seem to know about them.



Now Nike, just do me a favor and retro these; pretty please

Thanks for posting... and i think the 1996 CB34s will come round some time. Same midsole as the Uptempos, and they're bound to come back round.

Thanks for the comparison TFaulk.

 

[carpediemkj]

I'm not diggin' these this time around for some reason. I guess its because I been there, done that.

 

[elsuavechino]

Def gonna get a pair, just looking for the right price.

 

[numbah1grimey]

Still waiting for that price to decline on these. Where are you guys copping for $60-80? Thanks!

 

[jdcloco7]

Copped a couple of pairs. Missed out when it was retroed the first time.

 

[frijo sneaker]

Pass!

 

[902kicks]

blk/prp are nails... grey white is kinda nailsy too. I HAD these back in the day... i copped these before i copped my nines

 

[tfaulk20]

Your welcome to everyone saying thanks on the comparison pics.
Anyways, I was wondering how these were selling in your area. Where I stay at (the bay area) these are really no where to be seen; the only two places I havespotted them at are NTSF and a couple Shieks. I got mine for $100 bucks even when they came out because I got a connect at shieks, but these dont seem to behitting sells racks around here and dont seem to be in very many places; and everyone else seems to be saying that these are sitting and they are copping for80 bucks.



Oh and I think I posted this before but nike needs to put out a shirt with this image from the hypermaxes

 

[panaricanretro]

Does anyone else find the midfoot straps on these ridiculously tight compared to all the other retros? I've had 3 pairs of the retros of these, and none ofthem fit the way they do this time around. These are actually a little roomy in the toe area for me, almost in an uncomfortable way, like I would have gone ahalf-size down on them, but the straps were so damn tight I could barely fit my foot inside a size 10, so I have a 10.5 that chokes the hell out of the top ofmy foot and then feels roomy in the toe area. Still love the shoe, but I don't know why they put Penny III straps on Barkleys.

 

[ricecm]

Nice

 

[streetballa2311]

i love mine i can tell they are different from the ogs but i love em nonetheless. for $60 i cant complain. shouts to BLACMAN365 for that heavy discount!!!

 

[solezprogression]

I might try to cop these on a discount if I find them anywhere... I wasn't feeling them enough to cop at first but they've grown on me since seeingthem on peoples' feet.

 

[kicks67]

first off i want to give my dude B1acMan365 a big shout out for the hook on these classics. Had a couple pairs of these from the earlier release and i thoughtthese would be heavy and bulky from the way they looked however these are one of the best casual/ ballin kicks ever. My homie hooked me with a discount andthese were the first to get copped... no questions asked.

so your natural size is a 10.5 right? (same size as me)
i'm just trying to get a feel for the sizing because nobody near me has em in the store for me to try on.

Damn I missed out then because I would have definitely bought them for that price...

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

$60??? I would take a second pair at that price
