Jordan Brand will be remastering (building better quality shoes) starting in 2015

Nike/JB should just do presales online months in advance on certain shoes they know people want. Then have the factories make enough for everyone to have a pair, along with extras to sell in stores. If they want to charge higher prices for made in China shoes, then do not make your customer base have to fight/stress/clamor for shoes every release day and have to succumb to resellers once that fails. If JB really wanted to "give back", then bring it back to the old days when you can easily walk into a store and purchase the shoes. I understand it is a for-profit business, but at a certain point there would presumably be a tipping point when people start purchasing other brands due to the high resale prices, or just get fed up with the new 'shoe game'. Designer shoes hand made in Europe with quality materials are almost (if not less) the same price than some of the resale prices of made in China Nikes/Jordans.... my 2 cents

That's why folks have to stop paying resale value.  But there are so many people that NEED a shoe, that they feed the monster

Exactly.

They better deliver next year. They have SO MANY great models and colorways coming out that I’m excited for but if they’re just jacking the price up and not significantly improving on a product that’s become so inferior to what it used to be then I don’t see myself copping much. That extra $20-$30 dollars is the difference between me copping shoes that I “like a lot” to holding out for ones that I really “love” and must have. And that kind of mentality is what is going to hurt JB because people will start checking themselves and limiting their purchases once they see that the extra cash isn’t worth it.

Because people bring up the whole 'join' date, 'OG head', 'in the game' before you type of talk.  Those people who are insecure feel threatened by new participants.  They can't stand the fact that the hype has changed, much like any thing else in life.

Can't complain too much, and just buy what you like.  If you are down waiting x amount of years for the right retro, then wait.

True that. And I'll tell you what I'm tired of waiting for, a proper black/red 12. What the hell is JB waiting on. We're gonna get Chi X's and Bordeaux's again next year, where's my grail?
 
Thinking these might be similar to a Seattle seahawks colorway from that White Blue and Green

I see the majority of the shoe is a white base

That line on the heeltab seems it would be that "Ghost Green"

I also notice a few speckles on the midsole or could be from the grain of the picture

The darker areas are probably going to be that Insignia Blue

These are going to be $175 SMDH!!!!!!!!
 
OG colorways only for next year. Much as I like those French Blue 7s the Hares are a must cop. And the AJ1 Chicagos.

I still have a lot of Jordan releases from the past few years I need to wear out before I think about stocking up on more.
 
Is it 190 or 195? Hopefully the price will deter a few ppl. Something with 200 dollars and kid sneakers don't mix consistently. Some people will give up and the trend will die down. Just hope olive 5s and indiglo 14s before he make a new fusion with am 95s :rofl:

according to sneakernews its 185(columbia 4s) but I have a feeling they might jack up the prices on higher numbered retros (6 & up before i believe) where the lower numbered were 160 and higher numbered 170. so it might still be $190-195 for all of next years 7s

you pay the same price for a shoe what is made out of less material compared to the normal J6

$130-$140 should be a reasonable price for them imo, since they have less material on them

If you wait a couple weeks you'll probably catch those foams for like 150-180

Got a deal on the other side of the pond for 181 delivered but I have a friend with a Military id and a BD coupon for FTA :lol: plus it would be in my best interest to strike now. The 10th is like right here and 24th is a month away. Shoe game don't stop
