I think he frowned because you said Retro is More Comfortable then the Retro, when the rest of your statement makes it sounds like you mean the Retro is more Comfortable then the OG

No bro-the OG's are a sz 10.5 and the retroes are a 10 which basically makes them the same (OG XII's run a half size bigger than theretroes) plus they never made a women's playoff XII. And yes I'm also wondering why you have fake shoes in your avy as well

The retro is garbage, there is nothing to compare. The og 96

is thick and comfortable. The retro's have a feel like theyare made from notebook paper. Cheaply made and lighter does not make them better. I bought 3 pairs of the retros when they came out and I quickly sold themoff and bought 2 more pairs of the og's on ebay. It's pairs like these retro's that should have people complaining to nike and jb about qualitycontrol.

I have to agree with the others, the retros are far more comfortable

I'm also glad that some people can actually admit that fact, instead of the usual NT "sheep" mentality of saying OGs are better when they'venever even owned a pair

How are you going to diss retro XII's, when your whole collections retros, including nubucks?

Ducktales on this post for one minute.

I just compared both my OG 12 to retro 12s. They are the EXACT same height.

the retro XII's are by far one of the comfy-ist shoes to hoop in.

The OG's are "stiff", the leather is hard, the cut is slightly higher.

The Retro leather is significantly more flexible that the OG, the comfort level is better as well.

Nonetheless, the leather on the OG is really good.

I'm making a mockery of the NIKETALK ads. I guess my sense of humor sucks.

That's cool. I owned the og playoff 12's back in 97 and beat them to the ground
(wore them landscaping for an entire summer, good times).

But i don't remember them being that high in comparison to the CDP taxi's i have
now.

It's a damn shame they had to skimp so hardcore on the material.

My SC bo's just came in and the pre-crease is disheartening.

I wonder when the Tim Duncan Max's are retro'd, that the air bubbles
will be pre-deflated.

YIKES!

if you need soem to hoop in then im assuming you want comfort so id go with OG's more than the retros...my retros arent as soft and comfortable as the OGswere...
