Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

Nostalgia is strong with this one.

Had these and the OG Playoffs back in the 5th grade.  That was the last (and only) time I had any AJ8s.

I'll probably be one of the very few that will actually wear these with the straps tightened, just like how I did in '93.

All of this, word for word for me to fam. Can't wait :pimp:
 
Doubt we get remastered 4's and remastered 5's in the same year. They're gonna be really slow to trickle out any remastered visible air unit J's. The NA on the back of those shoes are JB's trump cards

We'll see if the planets align for this release; still kind of hurting from the UNC 1s release, but I'm sure I'll get over it soon.

U didn't get the UNC 1s if you didn't try. Easiest 1 OG this year besides the beautiful laser 1s
 
If these are produced in the same quantity as the Black Infrared 6's then I'm not worried about this release at all. After all I just want one pair.

I didn't get the UNC 1s because they weren't released here in the Philippines. All other NA 1s have dropped here except for the Chicago 1s.

No way I'm going to order from Europe or have a reseller ship them to me and risk getting hit with customs charges (Philippine government is strict and charges up the *** on imported goods, not to mention the package could get "lost" AKA stolen during transit).

Not going to ask my brother in California to go around getting raffle tickets for me or wake up early on release day when he's got 3 little kids, all of whom participate in Saturday morning sports (other dads with kids know how this goes) and other more important things to worry about.

If the rumors are true and a late shipment of UNC 1s are on the way here to Manila, then I'll work myself on getting a pair, just like how I did when I lived in the states.

I also don't care about creases. Gives sneakers character. We didn't care about creases in the 80s and 90s and I don't care about them now. All we cared about during the OG era was getting actually the shoes and rocking them out the store.

I just took an exam on Cellular Respiration and you're reminding me that I did subpar work on it.

This.

Also true about the shipping of stuff to the Pinas. I've had my family's boxes opened up and small stuff get jacked like clothes. Pretty sure those workers at the docks steal them to sell. No way I'd have kicks shipped out there, especially for a sneaker that wasn't releases there.

Hope you get your pairs bro. You do good for the community.

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!

gotcha thought you were in states my bad was a super easy cop for me. I agree on creases cause I'm a 80s baby but I jus try to keep my shoes in best condition being that I only cop 1 pair and rock my shoes no collecting here plus I have a wife and kids as well. Good luck with aqua as you probably won't need it

i care about keeping my shoes in good condition so that I can wear them for years to come but i could care less about creasing and such. I know alot of nters that as time goes on and they get older and more financially stable they transition into the "collector" mindset and i feel like as im getting older im going in the opposite direction. I had this nasty habit of never rocking the shoes i paid the most for. As i was able to afford 600-800+ kicks, id get them and never wear them cause they were 800 dollar kicks. So i finally said eff all that lol ive transitioned to 80% runners and im mainly wearing ultra boosts and huaraches/nms.

im starting to regret selling my 07s, the gray on the 15s remind of the ugly charcoal 7s from the pack.

in case you were unaware, or perhaps you've forgotten, the OG 8s are identical to the 2015 pair color wise. The 7s from the pack were bad though.
 
I love the charcoals, but I also love the 7s from the pack... they are neck and neck with the Bordeauxs for me personally
