to those that have watched the dvd that comes with the xx3... i heard that these sample carmines in these pics were hand made, which would explain theincredible quality that we see. anyone else see this on the dvd?? if this is true then we can expext the quality on these to be nowhere near what we see onthese samples...
btw, carmines were obviously the best choice. we already got black/infras...
and carmines>>>white/infras. although white/infra reds would've been nice as well..

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea. That would be cool if they are able to put a creative twist on the box, since they are charging an extra$10 on the MSRP.

Didn't like them in '91 and still don't like them now. I really can't believe all the love for these. They look like a bad retro+, IMO.
And they look worse without the Nike Air. To me the Nike Air was as much a part of the VI's as almost anything else. Most Jordans don't really look allthat bad without it, but the VI's, to me needs the Nike Air (DMP's included).
But, I guess I'm happy for all the OG heads who have been wanting them, and now will be able to get them.

Like I said, it's not really about preference; it's about the fact that the last time this shoe cam out was SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. You know? No other Jordan took 17 years before seeing a second run at production.
Well, maybe grape Vs, but they were never a classic, because Jordan never wore them.
Military IVs took forever to retro, but like the grape Vs, these were never a classic shoe; the were simply an old shoe that people fell in love with again and wanted... and received.
Fire red IVs have retroed twice, once with lasering all over the shoe, and then the second time with a Mars Blackmon picture lasered on the back, but these were never as classic as the carmines, either. Why? I guess I should have mentioned this earlier, but...
... the VI is the first shoe Jordan won a championship in, and in the opinion of MANY, the carmine is the hottest colorway of the VI.
- classic shoe (like the white IIIs he won the dunk contest in, or the first Air Jordans)
- white/red/black colorway (the color of the Bulls)
- it's the VI, the first shoe he won a championship in
- first time it's being retroed; not the second or the third or the 9th, but the first time we are getting this shoe offered to us since Jordan wore them 17 years ago
You make a compelling argument but the fire red 3's took 19 years to retro.

And even with the Jumpman that I hate they came out looking great, everybody better have bought 2 or 3 pair because they are going to be classics.

Already covered that: "- it's the VI, the first shoe he won a championship in"
