Found new pictures of the upcoming retro on Sneaker News. I'm not liking the changes in the colour blocking. It didn't look so bad in the catalog shot, but Adidas should of left them the way they were.

Through random Google searching I found a thread on Hoop China to little fanfare of the original T-Mac's being retro'd. Not sure though. But it seems legit. It was only posted 4-5 days before today. (If anyone can translate the post it would be much appreciated. Tried to Google translate the webpage and it wasn't making any sense.) Please tell me these are coming back.

These are my favorite out of the line and the OG Away's are one of my favorite hoop sneakers of all time. I still have my OG's from high school. Just looking at these takes me back to the time when T-Mac was in the discussion for the best player in the league. If these retro, you better believe I'm getting them. They can keep those red ones though.

Thanks hmcen. Is that retail the price they will be in China converted into USD? I know a lot of sneakers outside the US retail for more than what the conversion of the price in USD would be. A lot of times, it's actually cheaper for me to get stuff online from the States. And like K23J said. Adidas hasn't been known to put stuff out at those kind of prices.

jkballer5, I think I remember seeing white/black T-Mac 1's on Eastbay. It was after they were heavily discounted. I haven't been collecting that long. My feet were still growing when a lot of people on here already had collections. I just remembered how much I liked the T-Mac's and wanted to get them again. I saw those and passed though. Adidas did the same thing with the Kobe's. They retro'd a bunch of not so good looking team bank colourways that sat and when they more recently brought back the OG colourways and some half decent ones, they sold pretty well.

Sidenote: I noticed the catalog shot has a blue heel and lining. Looking at my OG's and the picture of the OG's above + the ones on Tracy's feet, they all have a black heel and lining. That's a non-issue for me, but I remember seeing some fakes online that had a blue heel and lining with a puffy tongue. They just looked bad.

Just thought I'd post this SVSM PE LeBron had and another shot of Bron in the OG's.




EDIT: Original image wouldn't allow hotlinking.

^ Thanks, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I can see one pair that could be the OG colorway. Not really sure though.
