Funny how they dont even try to bring the OG colorways first and go straight to the collabs.
 
Man, the Shaqnosis OG retro is now 1) hard to track down and 2) expensive when you find it. Wish I'd just picked them up locally when I had the chance. There's practically only 1 in my size 9.5 up for like $240 plus ship. Regrets.
 
I still feel very sorry that I returned my second pair to FTL a week after the release date. 
 
Somewhat agreed on the Shaqnosis. Never liked it originally though, so not SUPER bummed to have left it. But it would've been kind of nice to have all the Moebius shoes in OG form. But I would rather find the white/black Big Hurts to be honest! Only ever got the black/whites here in Australia.

@trentbg - I've wondered that a little with Reebok myself. Surely you go OG (however many CWs you want, but at least 2), then (if you have to) some retro+ CWs, and THEN to collaborations. It's the same with the Ventilators that have released OG CWs (well, 2 of the 3 so far I think), but have many new CWs and collabs already.

The whole shoe game seems intent on overloading the market. Thus far it's working I suppose (or the companies couldn't justify it), but as a guy who likes to buy to wear, and has certain shoes that I'd really like to get, some breathing space would be nice.
 
I am taking a real different approach this year, really not spending big money and definitely focusing on Reebok, Adidas and Fila only. No more J's, no more none of that nonsense and I will be waiting on only OG colorways on a deep discount and if I don't get them, its all good. It really makes no sense for me anymore to dive in every week and try to grab everything I like, believe me, I like a lot of kicks that are being pushed put every single week, but its getting closer to madness now.

That sounds very similar to what I'm doing. Also donating some older, not pristine shoes to thrift shops & the like. And finally throwing out some '90s shoes that have basically had parts of their mid-soles crumble to dust! It's alleviating the madness a bit (although probably not quite as much as my wife would like - although she feeds the beast at times, like picking up the white/purple NB Worthys for me for Valentine's Day!).

But yes, 2015 will be pretty much Nike-free, Jordan-free. Mainly Reebok with a smattering of Fila, Adidas (maybe), NB, Asics & Saucony. Diversification is the name of the game! Along with deep discounts, OG CWs and keeping free of the madness.
 
trent, thanks for posting the OG Shaqnosis picture up there. Looks like the black overlays aren't as concave on the retro as they are on the OG.
 
Probably will never unfortunately, there are so many super dope models with the Insta Pump skinny bladder tongues that were released around 94-96, but I dont think any of them will be retro-ed.

Loved all of those bball shoes :smokin


Fury Road, such an odd little shoe in the Fury line. Some dope OG colors and I / U.S. got the most boring one. The all white :lol:

For everyone's loss which sucks........however i think RBK is realizing that their "PUMP" technology is coming back there's probably hope, considering the KAMIKAE II are coming out with the pumps as well.....
 
Its not going to be the end with the Kamikaze ll, there will be the Blast and there are rumors for the Shaqnosis too, unfortunately I dont think the Shaqnosis will be even close to the original Japan exclusive, I see Reebok reusing the same cheap Pump tongue from the Pump Omni Lite on every single model after that, I guess they had placed a big order for those bladders and had to use them somehow. 
 
You know the Fury Road is coming back this year right?
these 3 colors are releasing on the 27th at Overkillshop.com
Price is steep tho 189 Eur
1000
 
The pricing makes absolutely no sense to me, Reebok are losing touch with the reality and are going Nike/JB way, how can the OG Fury with more technology, Graphlite is expensive, cost 30 Euro less, if those Fury Road OG colorways release in the US for $190, I will so be pass.
