Converse Aero Jam... Will we ever get RETRO?

Pardon the ignorance, but when I look at reviews of these (the white ones that come out today), most people mention the lack of React Juice being the biggest problem. Is this slang for something? What is react juice? Maybe somebody just made up their own word.

"The retro stays relatively true to the original with the exception of one glaring detail: the absence of React Juice. Another omission is on the tongue shroud. There’s no number 2 for Grandmama aka Larry Johnson."

think FNL is just running super later. They were even 10 minutes late with their Lebron/Kobe/KD release this morning. Aero Jam is still showing on the release calendar. I say just give it some time.
 
mmelton2 mmelton2 React Juice was Converse's gimmick like nike air or reebok's hexalite to make the shoes perform better, I think the Juice was suppose to move with pressure of your foot

I wasn't sure so I called FNL and they said that since they had so many releases today that these would be releasing later in the day. Honestly, all they did was give me a bunch of the runaround with no solid answers. They tried telling me that they already released first. FNL is becoming a headache anymore!

Thanks! And I see now that on the back of the OG it says React Juice, where this retro just says Aero Jam. But was there really some sort of jelly (react juice) that was in the OG model that is not in this retro? 
 
mmelton2 mmelton2 Yes everywhere that has that yellowish vintage tint on the shoe now is where the React Juice would have been on the OG model

@mross16  has our back
 
My local FNL didn't get them so I ordered them online. I used a wc coupon and it worked. So after my state's high *** tax and shipping I ended up getting them for $104 which is not too bad. I wish I would have been able to get them for $87 but I was to late.
 
Went to the mall this morning checked all stores none of them had them so I ended up coppin from YCMC for 87.99 shipped use YCMC20 for 20% off yall
 
@mross16 Good heads up on the lace cover being reversible. Gives the shoe a different look. Probably will stick with the back side out, but it's always nice to have options. haha Ended up getting mine from FNL for $98 shipped with WC rewards. Can't wait for them to get here too! Had to get an 11.5 and a 12 because I didn't know what size to go with. That way I can return the one that doesn't fit. Havn't had a pair of Aero Jam's since middle school.
 
LosKickKing how do they feel comfort wise? Good cushion or cheap feeling? I went to a few stores today but couldn't find anyone who had them.
