of course i would never put on a 2011 retro, after my jordans started cracking after 2-3 wears i was done with them tbh.
i only ever get the more sturdy j's and i want to see how remastered pairs come out.

I lost interest in Jordan's over the years. Even with this whole "remastered quality" that will be happening, I don't really care that much. I think that Jordan's should only release in simple colorways. Just think, would MJ ever wear the Bel-Air 5's? Hell no!Jordan's have been done for years now

those are the type of colorways to be hyped up for a few weeks and then everyone forgetting the next month.
imo you just gotta pick what you like and ignore the rest. no reason to get mad about JB making an ugly colorway, hype is just annoying.
more money saved in my eyes

3 shoes that vary quite a bit if you ask me -- it really comes down to preference.
You'll get more support and lasting cushion with the Brons and KDs, a bit more court feel and the best traction with the KB 9s

Don't blame u but the infra 6 does nothing for me. It's the 3rd retro in like the last 4 years or so
JB is killing the game by retroing the same shoes with slightly different changes each time

Yea they done brought out those Infrareds in way too many variations in the past few years. Black/Varsity Red, Black/infrared and now Black/Pink. Ridiculous

Retro jordans are garbage.. Cheap materials, high price.. Lebrons and kobes are way nicer on the feet..

Hmmmm. All this positive makes me think about coming off a pair of my WTL XIs to get a pair with nothing out of pocket. Getting tired of 200 (or more) a pop.

I'd agree with you Grizz if they had kept the price at the OG retail price which I'd probably guess was around $125. But with that $60 markup for outdated technology, I'd choose the Lebrons over these

To each his own kind sir.
I think I've had my love fest with Jb for a long time and I've grown tired of seeing the same shoes over and over and over. They really killed the nostalgia for me with certain shoes.
Not only the constant retroing but I've grown tired of the hassle it is just to buy them for retail just to get the crap materials and cracking paint that comes along with them now.

preach!
I remember when a retro used to mean something
Now IMO you kind of just look corny :\
You ever go to the mall in the evening the day RD of a pair of Jay's? :x
If not try it, you'll see just how whack a pair of "Jay's" have become

Plenty. If they are in stock in a few weeks online then they maybe be part of the black Friday sales like what happened last year for some sites.

you don't see too many people playing them out and they come out dope most of the time
excited they're retroing white metallics 5's.

I've cooled off with Jordans. I'm more into the niche Retros Nike has been letting out of the cage.
I'm trying to be selective with the new stuff, as the current crop (Lebron 12, Kobe 9, KD 7) are all pretty great. Kobes and KDs have slowed way down recently, just in time for Lebrons to pick up steam again. Of the 7 "launch" CWs, only two are DEFINITE passes for me (Six Meridians and TDMs).
