If they did EXACT replica retros of the 88'/94'/01' III's, 89'/99' IV's, I really wouldn't have a problem dropping $300 for each pair. I don't mind paying a premium for good quality. I understand that nowadays these shoes are being fittedwith certain matirials that were not available back when they first released, but the overall shape should not be comprimised in order to make certain upgrades. At the end of the day, I wouldn't buy any early model Jordan's to actually play ball in; they are no longer the best basketball shoes available (I'd buy a pair of LeBron's or Kobe's over MOST Jordans anyday). So why not bring back the original shape & colors used in the OG's/retro's and use REAL leather; just charge a premium. Everytime I look at my Nike Mag's it tells me one thing, if JB REALLy wanted to bring back the nostalgia in true form, they can, no matter how old the shoe is. Stop making excuses about lost molds or respecting OG owners; it's the OG enthusiasts who want them back. Peace. EXACTLY!

Why wouldnt they pay it for BC III's with Nike Air. As far as the AJ 1 and Nike Air go, they are mass producing the ever living crap out of it. AJ 1 high, AJ 1 low, AJ 1 Mid, AJ 1 Alpha, AJ 1 KO, AJ 1 Phat, AJ 1 Strap, AJ 1 foamposite, etc. If JB really had a problem with the swoosh, they wouldnt mass produce the one shoe that has Nike all over it.

Im not defending the nike/jordan brand for their inflation of prices over the years, but the fact is, the price of materials do go up. Your corner store 25 cent bag of chips are now half the size, because prices arent the same from 85'/86'/87'/88'. So goes with shoe materials. At the end of the day theyre a buisness, and thats what buisnesses do to stay profitable. If you want higher quality materials, you will have to pay for it.

Well the lastest pair with Nike Air on them did sell out instantly and I can almost guarantee no matter what had released at the (Nike) outlets before they have never had people camping for any normal shoe like people did for the Banned 1's. I called across the country myself and even paid reseller prices and wasn't upset about it either and you know that Jb drops about 30 pair of Jordan 1's a yr that end up at outlets. If you want to know why a Jordan 1 that has been basterdized and ruined by Jb had people goin crazy look no further than that Nike Air on the tongue. I can live with Jumpmans in the insole and on Retro + colors and styles but a Tech Grey 4 with a s h itty jumpman isn't doin it for me. I bet for all the people who own Banned 1's if anyone was to take a poll Nike Air would probably be the main reason like it was for myself that people went through hell for them. I paid double for a resale pair and didn't mind. Now put Retro's 1-6 in the store for $200 and make them available to the people who really want them and JB will keep us core buyers. (The kids will move on Jb is a fad for them just like the snapbacks that we couldn't stand or those stupid skinny jeans). I have a lot of dead weight in my closet all size 13 or 14 all worn of course but in good shape if u looking for something Pm me and we can talk.

Registered Member Posts: 826 12/02/11 2:09 AM	To tell you the truth, I wouldnt even want Nike Air to come back unless the quality was comparable to what we go back in the day. If you want quality, you ARE going to have to drop money for it. People already complain about dropping $160 on retros, but price raising isnt anything new. I remember when the new Air Jordans would cost $65, then $100, then they went up to $125, then $150, and finally settling in the $200 range when the XVIIs dropped. With the cost of producing new molds for the old styles, combined with the cost of premium materials and packaging, a premium Jordan would have to cost $310 a pair and wouldnt have that many original colorways dropping per year. Most wouldnt pay that price but I would. Not to mention collectors would have a fit because their collection would essentially be rendered worthless.

The only difference, though, is the year of the retro released (e.g. 2012) should be written inside the box. Makes sense?

If you can #*#%+ about the non-use of real leather, moan about the cracking soles, whine about the absence of "Nike Air," and still pull out the wallet and hand over the cash for TWO PAIRS of the same average retro, it sends a single message to JB: "Don't listen to my complaints, I'm satisfied with whatever garbage you shove down my throat. It might look and taste funny at first, but it'll grow on me. Keep it coming."

Registered Member Posts: 1397 12/02/11 2:28 AM	sigh When are you guys going to get it through your heads that this isn't going to happen? Retros are put out by JB=no Nike logo. Yes, JB is a subsidiary of Nike, but it's own brand. Unless Nike retros Jordans, this isn't happening. Give it up, stop reasoning begging and pleading. Let go of the past, you can't get it back, it's done, over, kaput. Would you guys want a Jumpman on some SB's? It's crazy how this issue keeps coming up and no one ever pays attention to why it won't happen.

It's crazy how this issue keeps coming up and no one ever pays attention to why it won't happen. I would never want a Jumpman on sb cause it wasn't part of the original design but if it was and they retro them yes give me a jumpman. The point that all of us are trying to make for the people who it doesn't matter what sign is on the back of the shoe is this do you think anyone would be complaining if Air Jordans never had Nike Air on any retros? See if you sell me a replica of something for more money than the original at least give me the same details that I had at first. Now Nike brought Converse so they are a subsidary of Nike also but if they started putting swooshes on Chucks all hell would break loose. I have a lot of dead weight in my closet all size 13 or 14 all worn of course but in good shape if u looking for something Pm me and we can talk.

(The kids will move on Jb is a fad for them just like the snapbacks that we couldn't stand or those stupid skinny jeans). Its really easy for a limited release shoe to sell out. No matter where they drop. The Yeezy's had fewer pairs than that and sold out 3 times. Nike uses genuine quality materials for sneakers that will be used for performance. You aren't a "core" buyer to Nike just because you complain but still cop. Nike's biggest profit comes from the every day customers who buy the newest Air Max rendition's and Lunarglide's... You think Nike/JB is living off "sneakerheads" who buy old shoes that come in limited qualities? Or do you think they're making bank off of the everyday person who's in the local finishline/Nike Factory looking for a good pair of running shoes? Some of you think that we are what makes Nike who they are. When in reality, we are a smaller percentage of their profit than you think. They retro these shoes because there are certain people out there (us) who love having their favorite pairs form the past. But thats a small percentage, because most of the world doesn't +%%%++% care about a shoe that came out damn near 20 years ago. Nike only has the luxury of retroing sneakers because their current releases do so damn well. OPEN YOUR EYES. If Nike released nothing but $200 retro's with Nike Air on the back, making you happy, THEY ARE LOSING MONEY. Are you going to pay them back what they didn't make because all you care about is getting what you want? Nike/JB put their own logo's on their own sneakers and put the time and effort into their newest releases because that is whats keeping their brands on top. The NEW releases. Because believe it or not, non sneaker enthusiasts are the complete opposite of us. They want NEW sneakers. Not old shoes that have releases 5-10 times over the past decade+ If Jordan Brand puts that Nike Air on their sneaker thats taking away from them as a BRAND. I can say that a thousand times but you guys just don't seem to understand that concept. So I will stop saying it. These companies have a budget to watch, and do you know whats at the top of that list? Is it your 2011 Air Jordan retro with high quality Gucci loafer quality leather, dyed midsoles, and a big rubber Nike Air on the back? No... Jordan Brand/Nike are putting that money and materials into its newer generation of sneakers giving customers a variety of new shoes to push their brands forward. Its not 1991 anymore. Stop living in the damn past. Either buy the retro for the price they retail for with the quality that you get, or buy a current generation release. If neither of those, pick up a new hobby. Go collect bottle caps or something. Blog : Prii.me Follow me on Twitter La familia es para siempre \| MCMLXXXVIII \| MASTER CEREMONY RIP - Hella Handsome

There's not gonna be a Nike Air logo...get over it. I see no point in complaining when more than half of you are going to purchase anyway. And no, I wouldn't pay $200 for an outdated, low quality sneaker because it has a certain logo on the back that my pants are going to cover up. BTW, the Banned 1's should have been mass produced (from a business standpoint...they still would have sold out). Team Cleveland Browns -We Eat Steel For Breakfast-
