^cosign. Neither JB nor Nike care about the collector so much to the point where they are going to deny themselves big profits. I’m sure well see Grape V’s before too long and those might very well not do the OG any justice. Just gotta hope for the best….unless we can infiltrate the JB camp with some of the fellow TSGers!

I don’t know MIGHTY WHITEY…. Jordan is not getting any PROFIT from ‘NOT’ releasing retros that are exact to ‘OG’ form. They ARE NOT looking out for any COLLECTORS… PLEASE don’t get it TWISTED… FOR EXAMPLE: The INFRARED VIs – The shoe probably cost $20 max to make and the retailers probably purchase them for $80-90 then they retail at $125. NIKE has already made their money and then some. I keep my INFRAREDS on ice and then sell them 8 yrs later for $700…. NIKE is not seeing any of that $500 + profit that I am making (WAIT… YES THEY ARE.. BECAUSE I GO AND BUY MORE NIKES…LOL) but you get my point… The truth in the matter is, even if it’s the exact shoe it will still be a RETRO or a RE-RELEASE… it can never be the ‘OG’.. The OG will always be more and if you want them you will have to pay OG money….. I’m fine with the retros…. I beat all my OGs to death.. When I was buying Js back in the day, we actually wore them to ball in… LOL

What everyone fails to realize about these or any retros for that matter is that JB is never going to re-release a shoe that is an exact copy of the original. That would only take away from the exclusiveness of the OGs, JB is looking out for the collectors. Simple supply and demand.

and @sparklecity – you coppin’ your kicks from Westgate?

These will not sell out unfortunately. I got the carolina nubucks for about a $100 with tax awhile back. These will be around for a minute. Too soon to tell if I will buy. Have to see what they look like on my feet.

I’m not coppin. I’m already ashamed of myself that I bought the Nubucks earlier this year and since the material is exactly the same, I’m not getting got twice in the.same year. Wait, I did get those blue sapphire AJ1’s…..that deserves the emoface for real.
