i think the retros look better truthfully
let me just say this. i'm with you about the quality and the changes on the retros such as no red heel tab on the playoff 8's, but you have to realize this too. First off, many of the OGs were made in Taiwan, where as, Jordans are now made in China. You have to also consider that some of the same materials that were available for initial production might not be as readily available today. Look at how many years ago that was. And even if it was like 5 years ago, things change. JB might not be able to get the exact same material as they did the first time. it might not be readily available. Think about it. You can buy the same brand of wine, but no two bottles taste exactly the same. Why? because you can't duplicate different batches. you can get close, but never the exact same. Now how do we expect to duplicate a shoe made many years before, when you can't duplicate wine or soda even, in batches made right after one another? Also, take into consideration different factories, different workers, different machines.......
True, some of it is JBs fault, but a lot of it they can't help. I'm sure they try to get a close copy, but really, we can't expect a clone.
I'm not really going to compare something you ingest to something you wear. I would agree every batch is different but that wasn't my point. My pointwas they changed the color and removed certain parts of the shoes which I think we are in agreement, we all know the quality isn't the same (which I firmlybelieve the materials are out there, JB is just cutting corners and cost which to a degree I can understand), but at least leave the colors the right way andthe design the right way. Go head and change something small if you have too like the Jumpman on the heal or slight change in pattern on the inside of the shoeand place a mark of some sort on the inner tongue. There are plaenty of options that JB can do to make both sides of the fence happy.
To the people that said changing the heal is not noticeable.... was it noticeable when Michael Jackson changed his skin color about 15 shades? I think it was.
Maybe since VIII's rank up pretty high with me is the reason I took notice right away and was not happy. Which I suppose I understand why many wouldn'tcare so much because I don't know to many that really appreciate the VIII like I do.
Oh yeah and the heal will NOT lighten over time, unless let them mugs bake out in the sun and hope they fade.
