I remember the OG’s definitely my grail as they were the first “real” pair of kicks my mom bought me. Never forget them…if I only I could find a DS pair. The thing is back in 1990 when these came out they cost $130. Typically inflation comes into play but no one is willing to pay more than that for shoes ever. So they keep the same price point but the cost of leather has risen so they have to compromise the quality…sad. They should have just retro’d the originals and charge $250…definitely a pick up for me.

The video is borderline just say no to fakes honestly.

The materials on the og’s are so on point and the “retros” are just a joke. Catch these on the $50 rack by xmas.

good looks on the vid. as a recent owner of a pair of 97 retros, you just really get a whole new perspective on things. That 97 retro had some of the softest tumbled leather and suedes I have ever seen or felt. Then you compare to the NOW. You are dishonoring and straight up kicking Bo Jackson in the balls with this move. It’s nothing new though as mostly ALL 2004-2009 sc trainers have been terrible mediocre quality. The fun stopped in 2003 along with the great colors.. now the great colors are back, but the material degradation is as present as ever. Im all for nostaglia most of the time, but I would rather wear some beat up yellowed adidas no namers than to have those on my feet. They arent “Bo’s”. I’d rather wear no Bo’s than these fake Bo’s. peace

^No problem, Sincere. I know these kicks are taking a lot of people back down memory lane. Here’s a song to go with all the nostalgia going on in here. Enjoy, Sincere and try not to cry. lol
