im 32. not really a young buck.
i really dont think anyone should have to give up anything but i dont see any younger dudes hating on older people still buying j's after all of these years; its always the older cats saying that the younger ones should leave the j's to the ones that grew up...
i hear you. resellers are a definate problem.
i just get tired of hearing people say that the younger crowd is part of the problem, when those people were getting jordans when they were YOUNGER.
makes me think about the shoes that older people were wearing when the shoes originally released...
i think i know what part of the problem is.
people that grew up in the 90's buying jordans never got out of that stage. i mean, when jordans first came out there werent many 30+ year old people purchasing them. now youve got teenagers and 20 year old that are wanting to get certain models for...
it would depend on how the shoes were stored for the last 8 years. maybe you would be better off playing it safe and getting a pair from nikeid or waiting for the 2k4 retros to drop later this year if you really want a pair; although theres no way of knowing if theyre going to have the same type...
i remember when these first released and when i went to go get a pair they were sold out in my size, so instead of these i had to settle with a pair of dennis rodmans.
i will be getting at least one pair this time around.
okay kid, the only thing solid about this release was the hype imo.
and good quality leather that has been made more durable? cmon man, good leather is durable enough without having to go through an extra process to make it durabuck. and does good leather smell how this shoe does?
to each his...
these shoes are made from some sort of plastic lol...cheap fake "leather" at very best.
i understand that everyones been waiting on this shoe for awhile now but we shouldnt be tricking ourselves into thinking that this is a good quality shoe. the "leather" was alot better on the chicago 10's...
LMAO @ "smell the leather"........you must not know what leather smells, looks, or feels like if you think that you smelled leather.
it smells like glue with a hint of phamaldahyde.
got my pair from a local mall at the midnight release. quality seems okay but they are hard on the soles. im not sure what they did to the air system but they are nothing like the cool grey 4's i had-now that was a comfortable shoe. im also surprised that no one that copped early said anything...
ive had 2 different pairs of Spizikes and both of them held up. i like it when i feel like ive gotten my moneys worth out of a shoe. so these will be copped.
