Yep! It's not a game with the China Reps now.

Haven't really focused on either of the shoes and haven't done a quality comparison between them. I may dig in the closet and find my 2012 box and pull them out to see. Not a bad idea selling the '12's and getting the upcoming pair.

Yeah, Repp, it doesn't in the context you placed it. I'm 41 with the same resume as you with the exception that I have 2 young kids and no grandkids. I don't think wearing them is the issue for those guys. I think it was just getting that last itch scratched and now that it has with the...

I was where you guys are now a couple of years ago. I'm a bit older than you guys though. 41. I will not be getting these since I bought the last release a few years ago and they are still brand new. The patent leather height is a nice but I've never been one to have more than one pair of...

Their age has everything to do with the situation given the context in which it was written. They are older, more mature, and the past is now being left behind. The upcoming 11 in its original format (more or less) will bring things full circle.

I've been reading a great deal about the red tint on the mesh. I had the original pair back in the days when they first released and they had that red tint. However, the tint was due to age and wear. The mesh faded over time from being in the elements. Sun, rain, snow, etc... Upon purchase...

Whoa! $800 for them? That's some serious coin for some kicks mane! No hate though. I think the most I've paid for shoes is $300 and they were some Christian Louboutins for my wife. Good come up though considering the price fluctuation.

That's real right there. I have some nice stuff but most of it I buy on sale. Buying high-end clothes (which I have) just isn't worth it in the long run. When I was a kid I was all for it but now that I'm older it just seems wasteful.

As parents, we do the best we can. I was raised on K-Mart, Payless, and a store called Anthonys. My clothes were always clean and shoes, although bargain priced served the purpose for a kid my age. Did I get joked from time to time, sure. But it wasn't to the point where my life revolved...

Hope your Pops is good! Two hours though, what in the hell are they doing? The process takes 15-20 min. I know because I assist with them all the time.

Truer words have never been spoken! I don't understand why people spend so much on these shoe cleaners like rejuvenator or jason mark. I've been using dish soap, warm water, toothbrush, and towel for the past 30 years to clean my sneakers.

I've seen them and to be honest there isn't anything to distinguish between the fakes and the authentic. I have the authentic and a friend bought the "super" fakes and there was no difference. Some minor stitching on the Jumpman of one shoe but I've seen the same on authentic pairs. If you...

Nice! I got the old school Jordan UNC jersey that I ordered from Eastbay damn near 14 years ago! Still in pristine condition.:D

Its a trip with how some shoes fit. I literally have an 8.5 Air Jordan 1 Chicagos in my closet that I can wear without any problems and my XX3 Titaniums are a size 9, XX8's a 9.5, and XXX3's a 10. Crazy.

I agree with you 100% After watching for about 10 min or so, I was why in the hell are the grown folks going at each other over some shoes? Real or fake. Yep 10 min of my life I'll never get back. Can't believe cats still tripping on this stuff. Just shoes people. Just shoes.
