Olympic VII's 'For The Love of the Game' (ALL TOPICS MERGED!)

[deuces213]

sad to hear about the quality decline... would make a great mantle piece though

these look pretty off, but the '04 was definitely no where near OGs as well, I remember my '04 toebox material was so stiff it felt like i permanently had those no-crease plastic #$#@ in them.

gotta stay grateful to have OGs.

This can be my very first vii's if they release it on our part of the planet..

 

[youngmoney15]

Im having second thoughts on these. Might not cop. It all depends if i have $150 by friday.

Time to go un ds my pair!

2nd u on the quality. Its about as good as the Infrared and White/Varsity Red VI's leather. Worth the buy.

Kinda mad I sold my 04's now.

Tired of retros looking closer and closer like fakes. Glad I'm sitting on pairs of 04 from #!#@% on sale back in the day.

I guess even though the shape on these are closer to the shape on the OGs (mainly the toe box), they look more like fakes than the 04s.

I did not purchase the Original or the Retro 04, I grantee the 2010 are all mine.

 

[jordunk]

I have the 04's and i just picked these up. Im happy with both pair, not much difference at all.

 

[willmatic78]

I copped from SA too. I missed out in 04 so I'm making up for lost time. Now I'm gone til November. Next on my list is the French blue/flint grey XIIIs.

Cool, I notice some differences in the shades of blue and dullness/shininess of the red/blue. I'm glad are saying these are good quality though.

[regal black]

still undecided about these

 

[vipersupra]

I wonder where these people get their fakes. Coz this one is just lookn so damn good. Maybe ill get me some of this fake ones. Haha these dudes r funny sumtimes. They may look like fakes to y'all but I gurantee they don't feel like one. Smh. Tsk tsk

 

[sparklecity sc]

Just got the info that a store called Arsenal in NC will be getting these..that's a hour drive from where I stay..so I will be headed up there when I get off Friday morning at 7am

 

[h0opman31]

[ninjaxriver]

these should ahve came with a tongue ring and a free coupon to get a heart shaped tattoo on your chest. lol

glad i have my 04's.

just when u think jb is on the right track they release this and make the white/back ix look fake.

the only good that has come of this is they will drive the price down on the 04 retros.

its my opinion so people please dont get sensitive and upset.

thats what I'm hoping for

  

Shhh. 

These are the Flint XIII's.

 

[chief ediri]

I want the 04 version more, but will be there Friday if I can't get one.

 

[jazzyjeff88]
