Which AJ VI Has You Seeing RED?

| March 16, 2010 | Comments (53)

Varsity Red or Infrared? Once again, 4DRUMZ speaks on a nice topic.

I like the idea of both CW’s dropping! WHAT did he just say? Yup! I think we’re just dumb enough to buy both… and JB knows it! The “pack” would satisfy the collecting need of much of the sneaker community while the varsity-red release would be available to the masses (especially those of us on a budget) and give the sappy sentimental folks something to wear while they get busy taking pictures of their family and friends with their InfraORANGEPINKNOTQUITERED pack.

  8. balloutb says:

    I WILL TAKE REDS AND SAVE SOME MONEY ( I AM GOING TO BE TO BROKE THIS SUMMER.)

  9. BRINX says:

    AND IF THERE IS A PACK (WHICH THERE ISNT) ILL HAVE THE LOWEST PRICE ON A PAIR OF WHITE/INFRAREDS ANYONES EVER SEEN ON ISS.. BELIVE THAT!
    CUZ ILL BE GETTIN RID OF THOSE FOR THE LOWWWWWWWWW

  10. voterobformayor says:

    im going to rock the hell outta those white and var. red joints! if the infa pack is a rumor ill buy 2 pairs of these joints.

    if the infa pack is true 4DRUMZ is right – everyone going to buy up the infareds but you will only see people really rockin the var reds.

    i have no problem dropping 450 on 3 pairs of kicks in the summer, im started saving after i bought my eggplants and 2x of neon am 95s

  11. Royal Swagness says:

    INFRARED ALL DAY. after that point made j.b is stupid enough to drop them on the same day. Keep it up 4Drumz and you will made it on ROYAL SWAGNESS Top 20 comment writers’ of the year. list dropping on christmas day and new years eve.

  12. Starz says:

    I’m not one to try to start hype, but I honestly could see JB dropping the Package… & making it a “Limited Release”. They did it with the Strap 1′s & months later they dropped the BRed 1′s in the DMP. JB is about money & when people think that their closest chances of getting the Infrareds are by getting the Varsity Reds they’ll do it & JB will go right ahead & drop the Infrared pack on them like dummies… Smh

  13. Starz says:

    Royal Swagness I’ll be damned if I’m at the bottom of your list again this year! Ahaha let’s get it!

  14. I May Buy Both Fav Color is Red and these 6′s are classic so Let the Money Flow if u gettin like that…. And That is All Exclusive Game Out!!

  15. carter says:

    I like the varsity red better call me “new school”

    and I got my oreo’s last friday night 3/12 and they are DOPE! leather awesome, style awesome, sole icy DO NOT MISS THIS SHOE!!!

  16. I Got Shoes says:

    I’ll take both. It’s two different colors and the infra is almost orange.

  17. urbanmiracle says:

    Coppin both. Ima rock the white and reds all summer. those are fresh. but the infrared ima chill on those until next year. I love the fact both are coming out and whoever likes whatever can buy what they want.

  18. CenValCali says:

    Ooohhh….Yeeeaaahhh! – Macho Man, Randy Savage.

  19. WTF iZ a ZoLLo? says:

  22. trey says:

    ill take the white/red whatevers u got in the 6s

  23. TheNoke says:

    The thing about the infrareds is the fact that you have to look at the context of when the shoe came out… it was the nineties.. both the siilouette of the vi’s and the infrared color just SCREAM nineties… yes the infrareds are an “off” color, but that was the whole point of it all… Mj was rocking them even though he KNEW they didn’t go exactly with the bull’s uniforms. Thats what made it hot. now I am by no means bashing the varsity jaints (I copped the varsity/black boys, and if this mystic infrared pack does not come out, will probably cop the white/varsitys as well), but the fact of the matter is that for me, the shoe just isnt the same w/o infrared. I had these as a kid, and the bright, strange, off, kooky infrared is what makes me remember them, and the 90s in general, so fondly.

    And by the way, anyone who says that infrared is ugly or that there is no difference between varsity/infra has probably never seen a pair of wht/infrared vi’s in the flesh… pics don’t do them justice

  24. NIKEDEE says:

    Great post 4Drumz always good insight homie. I will have both for the record. I have the infrareds and varsity’s in the closet. I need the white pair of both to make the cypher complete. Honestly it doesn’t matter to me cause they both have there place. Now bring on the white/maroon and white/blue if you dare JB. If you really want to kill the game drop the Bordaux’s and the old school 6 and 7 warm up suits from back in the day! They went hard!

  25. BRINX says:

    LOL 4DRUMZ… “sneak peek of the 11′s heels” hahahahaa

  26. Personally I dont care what kind of red it is. A lot of people hate on the varsity reds for some reason. I think the varsity vi’s are on point. The black and varsity reds suede is buttery soft. Personally I like the varsity better because the shoe is much darker. My infrared’s seem kinda gray compared to the varsity reds.
    But if they are bringin them both out…best believe I will cop both of them!lol

  27. Shaun says:

    First of all, I’m copping the White/Varsity Red IVs. I already copped the Black/Varsity reds so there’s no point in copping the pack. To be completely honest, both varsity red colorways look better than the infrared colorways in my opinion. The infrared colorways are CRIMINALLY overrated. You just knew the hypebeasts were gonna show up when they rumor was confirmed.

    Jordan Brand has some nerve releasing this pack. We know that they are marketing geniuses and they have a way of appealing to us but it gets to a point where they’re just trying to make money. If they do actually release this pack, it’s not because they want to see “us” happy. They want to see us spend the money and they know we’ll do it. They’re alienating us by doing this and almost forcing us their products on us. But I’m not going to be baited into it…not this time. I don’t usually rip into JB like this because I buy most retros that release and I will continue to. But the release of this pack seems unloyal. I’m glad I never hold grudges.

  28. Juice says:

    both are buyable, but if the infra(ican’tbelieveit’snotred)’s don’t come lout id be satisfied with the varsity’s(not quite elmo,ketchup no mustard)6′s…this is a closer gap than that between the bred’s and binfrared’s…

  29. Jerronimo says:

    I’m going to pass on the pack. I copped the varsity red/black 6′s the day they dropped thinkin places would sell out. (I was wrong!) I’m not mad tho..lol.. I still got my black/infrareds from 2000 but do not wear them often. The color on the 2010 is dope to me. I like the darker red cus I have more to go with them. But in comparison.. How many black/red or white/red kix do you really need? Personally I prefer to get the less common colorways of kix now-a-days. Mocha 3′s, Green Bean 5′s, Flint 13′s, Sonics 6 Rings etc…these J’s stand out more to me. They make my collection colorful. I don’t like blending in with the rest. Be different. Get what u want..

  31. Baby Jordan says:

    ^i feel the same way…if the pack comes out I’ll be grabbin it for the black not the white, but it don’t hurt to have four pair of shoes like this either color is fresh

  32. Baby Jordan says:

  33. Baby Jordan says:

    Ay G-roc is JB doin anything for easter or is this anniversary stuff all we get?

  34. G-Roc says:

    @Baby Jordan – I’m not sure.

  35. atgbryan says:

    pass on the varsity red/white and pass on the pack(if it drops), i think im good on 6′s for a while, unless the carmines drop again

  36. Royal Swagness says:

    Once I get my laptop 4Drumz in may or june, i’m coming to t.s.g community. I can’t wait.

  37. NZA36 says:

    infrared only

  38. Stay with jz says:

    Coppin both shoes if they drop. and the infrared is much better than the varsity red. But the varsity red is easier to match clothes with.

  39. Nick says:

    Got the black/varsitys, love them. Can’t wait for the pack!!

    Someone mentioned before, of course bring back bordeaux!! And bring back the white/navy VI, I would absolutely be amazed. The blue/white VI is a more mature colorway. I saw Jerry Seinfeld the other night rocking them!

  40. brandon says:

    I say Varsity red, people need to be happy there not some stupid color thats not related to the Chicago Bulls Colorway. If the Infrareds drop I’ll cop cause I love puttin fresh J’s in my closet!!!!!!

  41. I”m not too hung up on this bs… If the shoe isn’t shaped right, who cares. The only infrared shoe I’m dying to own is the sweatshirt/infrared 1′s they realeased GS last year.

  42. stacks says:

    Man i remember when i was a frosh in college back in 2005 i loved wearing 1 model of jays for a whole week. didn’t have many 6′s but i still wanna build my collection up

  43. weezy23 says:

    Nuthin against anyone who likes it but the infared color in general is wack to me it looks like a faded red more then anything so I would easily pass on the pack if it came out and will def copp the varsity reds! Also copped them oreo 6s and Carter u are 1000% right the oreos are sick and on point don’t pass this shoe up you will probly regret it

  44. K-I-double-D says:

    They both clean. The varsity reds are just a whole different shoe. Just a new different colorway. I’ll rock both.

  45. Stevie Westside says:

    I agree, infared is overrated x a millie. It’s aight but i like the varisty better to be honest. That being said i will cop the white and varsity

  46. XkrispyELI says:

    i like the infared on the VI’s.

    BUt i am still confused. Is the infared pack really dropping because some people are saying they are and some say there is no infared pack (like BRINX).

    When is the release date?

  47. vdav says:

    mann,i hope these aren`t too limited-nike are starting to take the pi**,i waited for 5 hours at 1948 for the parras-only to find out that most went to the staff!!!!!

  48. edizzle says:

    i want the infrared pack but im ok about just settling down with the varsity reds. either pair is dope.

  49. thebeast23 says:

    i agre wit edizzle up top. but uh i honestly think varsity red looks better but the infrared stands out more n it jus gives off a unexplainable vibe. kinda like a neon type look that jus POPS at u u kno…hard to expalin. did the best i could. but i wld rathewr have white/infra instead of black/infra. black infra dont do it for me

  50. The Creator says:

    these are dope.
