So I see they threw grey on them? Instead of leaving them at the classic look? JB being JB. I don't even want them anymore. Did they change the Chromes, too?

uh, you know the OG true classic 1993 had grey right?

The 2007 pair is not the classic or the OG.

I was talking about the 2007's, not OG's. The dark grey.

Amazed at how many people don't know how the original aqua 8's look like.

Amazed that people think everyone came up fortunate enough to have Jordans growing up, and would know OG's off the bat as if it was common knowledge.

For educational purposes please look at the picture below.
First is a comparison from 2007 of the OG and the vet first retro in 2007.


Second is a comparison of the 2015 pair and the 2007 pair

These two pictures should clear up any confusion. The 2007 is the only retro that is off compared to the 1993 classic Aqua 8

Yea, thanks, I know, I'm talking about the 2007. I liked the dark grey way better. I wasnt' talking about the OG's.

I also just definitely clarified and said 2007. When people say 2007 they are typically referring to 2007.

EDIT: I edited it before the quotes, so nah, I didn't say classic.

The confusion among us about people not knowing is that it's so easy to look up the OG pair in seconds. Most people who praise the 07 pair in guessing seen images if them online because they can't ALL own them. If you've seen the 2007s online how hard is it to look up the OG pair. With the accessibility to the internet 2015 it's just weird how people don't know or don't try to find out certain things that take a few seconds to find. Not everyone who knows what the OG looks like has a Jordan encyclopedia on deck lol

Too bad there's not a tool available where people can research practically anything that comes to mind using an electronic device, which can show detailed pictures, descriptive articles, and even videos.  We should call it, "the interweb".  (Had to do it... saw a statement like this from an episode of House, MD.)

No excuse. With the age of the Internet, it's not hard at all to see how OG's look. Kids are just stupid.

exactly
 
Just imagine how many will be passing because these are not like the "classics" (2007 pair). I love it. I never cared about hype for these, but if it's low enough maybe I can find a second pair later on for not much over retail. These are my favorite Nike air Jordan.

I don't have a problem with people preffering one release over the other. But when you come to a sneaker forum and go into a thread where the differences in releases and colors have been discussed at length and you don't bother to take a look a few pages back, don't be surprised when people come at you.

There were literally only 9 people waiting at King of Prussia mall this morning for guaranteed tickets at 8AM. Crazy compared to the line last year. I think there's just too much dropping over the next month between Js and the Yeezys that it filtered a lot of people out- mixed with the overall less demand for an 8 versus the infrared 6s last year (and that was a Monday morning vs. Sunday this year). I can't recall a line ever that short at KOP though. Bordeaux line even crushed that....

Was that for HoH in KOP? They did guaranteed tickets?

Or was it for Villa or Finishline?
