Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

I actually own the 07 pair, bought on release date, and I just recently got midsole cracking in the past 2-3 years. Easily over 150 wears and not a single clip broke off. Not saying that the 07 pair is better at all since we have no idea what they're going to end up like. My point originally was that im going to reserve my judgement until I have the shoes in hand. I'm gonna need more than a color change for the new ones to be considered better.

I've owned multiple 8s in 2007 along with many friends. Wore them a good deal, the midosle cracked in 2008 simultaneously and the clips broke off just as fast.
 
I have 2 pairs of 07 Aquas and 2 pairs of Playoff 8's from 07 as well. Both are in good condition, and the worn pair of Aqua's barely have any paint cracking, and I've worn them for years. The ONLY shoe I bought that I regret buying because of severe paint cracking issues in the last 10 years or so is the 2012 Bred IV's. That shoe was terrible.
 
Well regardless, good quality and 8s from 2008 are not synonymous. If the paint doesn't chip on the new pair and the clips don't have that cheap plastic crap from 07, then the 2015 pair is superior regardless of color differences from the 2007 pair.

Good quality and consistency with JB are not synonymous either. :lol:
 
JB corrected every single issue people complained about in 2007 n yet people still complain :lol:

Hate it or love it these are as close to the OGs as we're going to get.
 
Got the 07 midsole paint is chip , has been chipping off. To me these are tanks minus the chipping. Most comfortable Jordan I've worn. Can't wait till these drop...

Guess I got lucky, cause both my play offs and aquas are tanks. But I also don't play ball in my Retros so most of my Retros from 2003-2009 are still in great condition. But like I said I'm not gonna tolerate the bordeaux treatment on these.

Bordeaux treatment?
 
Bordeaux treatment?
they were called remastered but they were thin and flimsy and i had to return them. not gonna say they were worse than the 2011 but aside from the color change and price increase it wasnt a superior shoe. and definitely not better than jordan 7s with similar material make up that we have gotten in the past

do not worry. We must instead pray to sneaker gods that the shoes are not thin and flimsy. They need to be even better quality than the Infrareds from last black Friday
 
Cant wait till these drop im taking a break till May when the bred 12s drop after these ill like the way my bank account looks with that hiatus from buying j's but im wondering should i leave this release up to just raffles at like 3 or 4 stores or reserve a pair at one with my connect that charges extra. Help me out guys is this gonna be one of those super hard to get and expensive releases?

It just depends on how much you want the shoe or what it means to you. As for myself this shoe from back in '93 has A sentimental history on me getting them back in '93.

If this is A must shoe for you/anyone by now you should know what you need 2 do 2 get what you want.

-Enter all raffles that are available in your area.

-Get with your homies/connects on getting you A pair for A lil over retail.

- If the above fails, then you have on line to try and cop.

- If you strike out in raffles/on-line YOUN PAY RE-SELL $RICES.

* all bf RELEASES SELL OUT SO GET ON THE GRIND NOW BRO.

 GOOD LUCK.
 
My Aunt who used to wrk for NIKE back in the '90's gave me this poster ad she had hanging up in her office back then.

My mom was cleaning out her attic and found this last year, thought I'd post it in here. I totally forgot about this "WOW"

I tried 2 take the best pic possible but dang flash.
 
In the next few weeks, once people start to hop on the hype/group think banwagon, we'll start seeing the people who initially bashed these asking for links and oops come Black Friday. 
 
people always complain about OG vs retro when majority of those people didnt even own the OG... i like the 07 because i just like the darker gray but i will be selling my pair and copping this retro when it releases... had the OGs as a kid so it would be cool to own them again
Agreed. To be honest the 07s look the best, as the darker grey does the shoe more justice. However, I prefer the 2015 pair because it's closer to what my idol MJ wore and for nostalgic purposes.
