haha yep, this cat who just graduated had some VIIs that with so many damn colors on them I started callin him skittles. And he swore they werespecial edition Jayzzzzz

At work one time a dude came through with the cirrus VIIs on and I say, nice VIIs and he looks at me like "what is this kid talkin bout?" Not sosurprisingly, everytime since then Ive seen him in anything other than retros, like the flip flops and team shoes. Dude didnt know what VIIs were even when hewas wearing them

This is what i keep trying to tell people. Everyone thinks jordan brand has it in for us, and wants to piss us off. Beyond NT, fusions are more popular. Its simple.

They do focus groups and all that crap to see whats popular with your average joe shmoe that walks into a finishline to grab a pair of new shoes.


You can hate on them for liking fusions, its what they like.
Sad but true

I had a friend say this to me a month ago. Said my cardinals were fake and that he had the "real deals". I pointed out to him on his box that theysaid "True Flights" while my said "Retro VII". I then proceeded to tell him if anything, his are fake. Got a little heated, and what madeit worse was that that was his only pair of Jordan's

im 15 lol

When I read the post I assumed you were in HS or younger. Most youngins dont understand the history behind the brand of Air Jordan. When you have people like Nelly and Jermaine Dupri on 106 & Park or Access Granted promoting 6 Rings and Fusions, the young fans with no prior knowledge of Air Jordans assume thats what Jordans are all about. When I was your age we had,

Just to show a few.
Now compare that to

No wonder you kids are confsued, lol. I dont blame them though, I blame JB for releasing such garbage. Just educate your friends and let them know that FUSIONS ARE GARBAGE and tell then to do a lil background check on the kicks they wear and they'll see what real "heat" is.

you are the mann. i couldnt word it any differently. im currently 15 and had that mentality since i was at the most 10 years old. thats because i have an olderbro to school me plus my passion for sneaks is just way over board. btw my older bro would be RetroJTino if you have him. anyways, so anybody knows OGs aremuch more valuable than retros. retros are hott stuff too but being they dropped straight retros last year except the xxiii that to me was a cop out. toconclude im a strictly JB SIGNATURE collector. ogs and retros.

exactly... actually, no- i'll rephrase. you don;t have to LIKE OG's, but you def gotta RESPECT. if it wasn't for the innovations of the earlierjordans, you wouldn't have a lot of the new nike or jordan styles. in fact, i can pretty much guarantee you if it wasn't for those early jordans, NikeSportswear wouldn't have even been a thought. like any form of design- fine arts, architecture, automotive, fashion, etc... in order to progress, you haveto know where the respective field has been and brought to the world.

 

[airjordanxviii]

Those kids just grew up in the era of fusions.

Some people tho, like us realize the what JB is really doing...

 

[grand hustlepimpin]

OG FTW!!

 

[premium ryan]

my little brother who is in high school has a lot of retros and says people tell him his shoes are ugly all the time... we're talkin XIs IVs VIs VIIsetc... if it wasn't for me being into jordans and getting him into jordans at a young age he'd probably think the fusions and team shoes were hot. buttoo me they're hot garbage....

but i have noticed a lot of young cats these days who don't really know the history of jordans think the retros are ugly and want the newest productsbecause they think those are the ones to get... but to each his/her own...

I WAS WEARIN MY FIRE RED FIVES at school and a kid called them gay spizeke's yah he called them spizeke's not spizike's!!! i jus shooked my headand walked away

 

[vsano]

That's so sad... the image of the beautiful Air Jordan Sig Line is overshadowed by "Frankentstein" shoes nowadays....

 

[airthompson]

Tell your friend to stop collecting Jordans because he dont know nada.

 

[solekollectah81]

Your friends are young little hype beast clowns.

Easy: farking young'ns.

 

[jibbycanoe]

why do people use words like "everyone, always, and never" when it's obvious they have no idea what they are talking about?

 

[uno]

to the OP, Nubuck 12s shouldnt even be considered 'old' Jordans
