Air Jordan 14 Retro - "Black Toe" White/ Varsity Red/ Black ~ Summer 2014 RD: 9/20/2014

Pics of the ogs with the pearl teeth posted up there bringing back good memories... :smokin hated when the teeth creased up real bad and broke off. :lol:
 
Anybody got the eastbay pics of the ogs? I wanna see the original description of the cushion set up
 
I have gingers. pearl sort of flaking. teeth and midsole are seperating. the same on black red from 2005. both are in great shape overall.
the vent on my gingers is working also
 
If these weren't dropping this weekend I would have made sure I picked up a pair of Ferraris.
But with these dropping two weeks later, missing the Ferraris wasn't even an issue.

Yall know what would really be true to the game?
What if Nike did midnight releases just for OG retros?
That would put the shoe game somewhat back into its proper perspective.
Gotta somehow get back to what made this fun.

They're tanks, but the sole comes off, teeth break off and the midsole turns gooey....ok


Who cares about wearing the sole of a sneaker

this, my OG black toes fell apart in 05 in the hallway of HS. black sole fell all the way off. Plus the pearl got sticky and the teeth separated. These are facts
 
might pass on these...i hate how they drag my socks down...but it is an og color so i dunno

Late, but here are my OGs. My vent is Fully visible from the inside.

Also, only unfortunate thing about the pearl midsole is the sticky affect after time.

I have a feeling JB didn't use the pearl finish because dust stuck to it and it became sticky over time. It seems that the pearl finish didn't look good with age
 
Anyone have stock numbers on these?...These are suppose to be General Release right? my local house of hoops got about 15 pairs per size on the Sport blue 6s. You guys think its going to be numbers like that?

If not it's because the demand isn't as high. It is a GR though. All sizes and everybody is getting them
 
Just speaking from the perspective of a Champs employee glue stains and crooked stitching are all over these 14s from kids sizes to men's......
 
If Nike/Jordan wanted to heat things up some more, they should show the old commercials.. I think the Frozen Moments commercial was the best...
 
I signed up for a couple of raffles. Just in case. I'd rather be safe. The Steele X's were a GR, but still more limited than a normal release. The map really means nothing. Hopefully they are as plentiful as the thunders and sport blues, but you never know.
