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.

At the end of the day it may be a hobby to us, but its a damn business to them. Get with it or shut up. Exactly it's about MONEY!!!! Why would JB use Nike Air, when jays without the Nike Air sell out almost instantly!!! 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).

beh235 wrote:*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.
