Air Jordan retro IV THUNDER QUICKSTRIKE 12/22 before the end of the year

Nope they aren't either.
They may not come out next year, but they'll be back out..
*coughs* Altitude 13s, Cool Grey 9s, Nubuck 12s... *cough cough*
You are right....  After the Altitude's got the retro treatment.  I knew Jordan Brand didn't give a shiiiznit about a pair being hard to get earlier.  They are down to retro anything. 

I'm thinking these might be a Cyber Monday release?  Maybe, since they were an online exclusive before.  Food for thought...
 
I don't really like this. I was thinking about starting to buy more of the limited shoes that I assumed would never come out again. But if they'll retro these, what's next? The BINs in another 6-7 years?


This is why retros and rereleases are always just a little different.  So people with the OGs or the first retro will still have cred compared to the new head that's excited for the re-release.


I just love that people ***** both ways.

"Why won't they re-release (insert favorite shoe)?!?!?!??!?!?!"
"Why isn't the re-release of (favorite shoe) the same as before!?!??!?!?!?!"
"Why'd they re-release the (favorite shoe) that I have!?!?!?!?!?!?"

silliness

So true. Why people care is beyond me. They can re release anything in my closet I wouldn't give a damb.

Exactly. I don't see why a sneakerhead should care with the way they are always different. If someone was running with a pair of shoes on, and then someone else ran with a different release of the same pair of shoes, most people on here could tell which release is which in the blink of an eye. To me they aren't even the same shoe. If people think the Banned 1s are the same as the BMPs they just sound stupid to me.

Agreed exclusivity is nice and all, but I look outside of JB when it comes to that. Keep re-retroeing for all I care I can be alot more picky as I was this year. I know sometimes these shoes actually have a strong meaning or story behind them, so a small percentage of time true collectors are actually going after them because of that and I respect why the want to keep certain things exclusive. As far as altitudes, green beans, Mars, etc.... those have very little historical significance.
 
Why did the mods lock the threads with the word "Thunder" actually in the titles, yet keep this ambiguously titled thread open? Even if it was first in time, who cares. Can we at least insert "Thunder" or "Black/Yellow" or something specific in the thread title so people can actually CTRL+F to find this thing?
 
pass on thunders, if it was lightning it would be instant cop

i'd rather go get the CAVS 4s that i missed

Nah i really don't like the look of the thunders i think it looks terrible
 
Imagine if they use the same material from the charcoal 7's that just released on these.

Why can't they also use it on the upcoming black/red 4's on black Friday.

Like I said. Not a must. I'll grab as beaters just so I can say I got all the 2012 IVs, since the are releasing the 5s that I dont like (cept the Grapes. Hopefully the Red Soles come out too).

Retail or bust.

Also the cavs are such high quality i take it without complaning. If you have a problem with the Cavs you might as well quit the Jordan game. :lol:

This.  They're Nike's/Jordan's, not some exclusive Louis V's or something.  My favorite part of re-retros is that people unload the better quality pairs and you can get them for way less than you could've if not for the Re-Retro.
