Most people who bought the kicks did it for Mike. OG colorways or the ones he played in.

Most young people don't seem to realize that.

That's why Nike can get away with making anything limited and slapping $500 on a pack where people only want one sneaker.

Do what you want to do, it's just funny to me seeing people pressed to get something when they have no attachment to the player they're supposed to represent.

bruh im 30 years old, young kids do not know who he was and all we get that. But if you like the sneaker you are going to get it regardless if its an OG Bred 1 or a brand new colorway like Melo 1s thats all, plus he wore them(pantones) courtside watching his team play

Agreed 100%

And if you want to be technical, the color of this pack has a UNC theme which is attached to MJ so I don't get how these don't represent him ... but let these old heads continue to drop knowledge :lol:
 
How hard do you guys imagine this pack to be? only HOH is 200+ miles away from me, think it will be worth it to make the trip down there on release day? Not entering the raffle, two trips there is too much. Will the 500 dollar price point keep a lot of people away?

They will still sell off the strength of the 11s.

they will sell out with the hype around 11s but damn, 200 miles away Just pay resell at that point if you cant score a pack online 
 
You brought back some memories with that WGN reference. Had to tune in to that most of the time to see MJ play. Knew the weather and some random Chi town news every game.
 
Is this release in Europe also in a pack or is it standalone? I know a guy in the UK who could help me pick xis up if they standalone

I was being sarcastic


A collector?


Most of us buy Jordan's we saw him play in, not gimmicks.

christ you're so edgy

so what you don't like these shoes? they're probably going to be higher quality than any of the 11's released in the past 2-3 years and they look fresh to a lot of people.

sure the beasts will eat up the pack and these are a gimmick (even though i actually look forward to wearing the 29) but you have no right to define what a real collector is.

plenty of retro+ are better than the ones that mj wore, i'd take the white metallics over the blacks in a heartbeat.

If it wasn't for the XI this would probably sit with any other model.
