It's funny tho, because not too long ago people were begging for more retros but now that JB has decided to somewhat open the flood gates it seems that it's not welcomed.
forreal tho . all these releases close together (year wise) is gonna get people broke .

 , was tossing up between the charcoal and the Bordeaux at the time.....

wore them to the ground and loved them !
  
 
those dmp joints were SO not the same shoe. the '02s are of incredible quality, those things were built like tanks. 9 years of steady wear, including a number of years of heavy wear, and the soles were still 97% intact, slight heeldrag. strongest, most durable shoe i ever owned.
 
Good with my cdp pair. Still on ice. Got a raptors fitted sitting next to them ready to be broken out one day lol.
 
Im SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as the come out looking like they did in 02' ill be a happy man....

3 pairs for me once again.

might cop since i refused to buy the dmp pack. still kicking myself for not at least grabbing the b-grade dmp vii's when they hit outlets.
 
thanks OP for not calling them raptors..

I'm glad they are releasing again, and I hope they look like the ones that dropped in 2002.. my pair is beyond beat but I still love them to death
 
Ehhh... I Can Live With Out. Never Really Cared Too Much For This CW. JB Is Not On Games Next Year Tho.

I think u must be kidding. Because the 2002 black/redsHad the ugly shiny outsole toe tip like the frenchbluesThat came out together. And the cutting was tooMuch materials causing a deformed look whenU have flat foot.The 2006 VII retros looked better in shape and The outsole toe tip were made full like on theOgs. Also all 2002 retros had the new semi round laces,While all 2006 and recent retros have the originalFlat laces. Also, the purple used on the 2002 retros was set waytoo bright.
He is not kidding because he compared the 2002 pair to the DMP 7 pack which came out in 2009. IMO, the ones in the pack were trash. The DMP 7's in the black/red/charcoal colorway were horrible, JB trying to make them look like the OG's that faded over time, that pack flopped IMO. They were on sale for less than $200 around my way which is Long Island, NY and I still did not consider copping. Please re-read the bolded part of his statement and you will know what he is talking about.

WHERE ARE COLLEGE BLUE 17S, LIGHTNING 17S, NAVY BLUE 16S, OG 1'S, BLK/BLUE 1'S, CHROME 8'S, BLK/SILVER 2'S, ETC.

EITHER MODERN NOTERIETY OR JORDAN BRAND IS TROLLING US.
Fixed, had to do it bro.

I know what you are saying. The ones that came in the so-called DMP pack were not the same as the 02's. Other than that, I agree with the rest of your statement, I would like to see the 16's and 17's to retro. As for the black/chrome 8's, I missed out on release date back in 2003 (were sold out in my area) and I still kicking myself to this date because I did not want to pay $180.00 shortly after the release date and I should had.

Those weren't even the same as the ones from 2002 IMO.  Different shoe to me. 
I agree with all the rest, we need some 17's badly. 
 
gotta agree, however, the '02 round laces were utter !$%%. the metal tips made them constantly go undone. replaced with flats years ago.

this is it right here. jb has decided we wannt the shoes so we are going to get them.
i personally dont welcome this at all. its too much. are they going to drop every semi-popular retro every 3,4 years now? they need to slow down

who cares; you aren't exclusive and fashionable because there are less on the market...make them available readily 
 
Who cares that they came out recently I still wear my 02s from time to time and love them, the last pair to drop had gery any way I for one welcome whatever classics Jordan brand wants to throw our way
 
The DMP and CDP releases seem to throw a lot of people off on how widely or often a retro has truly appeared, especially in the case of shoes like the DMP XI or VII. No one is *****ing about getting a true concord release are they? Seems like the same thing to me.

But are you serious JB?! 2012 has must have purchases for me EVERY month, if not every other week. I've got the money, but I never imagined they would release such a string of shoes... pretty much starting on Black Friday and continuing for an entire year. And for the record, 2011 has been pretty damn good too: WC3's, Playoff XIII's, Bordeauxs, Wolf Gray Vs, YOTR VII, TB3's, Cardinal VIIs, Banned 1's, BC3's, Last Shot XIVs, Concord XI's. I mean that's about a dozen solid releases right there, and it looks like there's going to be twice as many in 2012!!!

All of the 4's (White Cement, Black Cement, Military Blues, Fire Reds)
Most of the 12's (Taxis, Playoffs, Obsidians, Cool Greys)
X's (Chicagos and those new Royal Blue joints... probably more coming, hopefully STEEL)
Olympic VI's!
XI patent lows
XI Columbias
XIV White/Reds
VII Charcoals

I mean right there is 15 must haves for me, and we haven't even learned about any limited edition or quickstrikes that are surely going to be in the mix (BINs? DBs, some kind of pack?)
