this is how I feel about pretty much any Nike shoe. there's no way they'll ever retro a classic and do it justice these days,with the shape issues, cheap materials, etc. it just cheapens the original shoe now when they do it.
some pretty incredible stuff posted the last few days. ten2eleven, mnadel, mfpearson, etc. great stuff fellas. eebs7eez (obs. snakes, unghh!), taiwans "found in the closet", etc. making me envious!
kev - yeah that pair you got with the black shiny swoosh looks decent, shape is decent, leather looks decent, and the nylon tongue is a huge plus. I wish these recent iD's had nylon tongues.
eeBS - you're right to an extent, but then what happens is once people know the retro is a retro, and realize the quality sucks, they eventually start looking for the original, driving the price back up even higher than it was before. happens all the time with air max.
