THIS. That 23 is a eyesore on this pair. I don't care about PEs. I want the retail version of the OG.

1 pair will do me fine too but hearing about another retro coming out has me excited. Vs are my 2nd favorite sneakers behind the XIIIs and the black metallic cw is my favorite V of all time

No, that picture was PS. I agree, it needs to happen but they're probably saving that idea for later on.
True, the only 13s I wish to own are the He Got Game 13s and the Playoff 13s.

The 23 font, better yet stitching craftsmanship was in its primitive beginnings in 1990. IMO they look better post OG. I like how the 06/07 & '11 Metallics had more detail and looked more reminiscent of the Bulls jersey font.
However, I never cared for the 23 badging. Just give me the '00 rendition.

I think the 23 used now is what helped make the white metallics look better too

The purple one had to be a sample from an earlier time. But it was clearly a people pair and a Maroon pair which is the one actually releasing

Could be the 6s version of the GS purple 6s JB released a while ago.

Yes I know, the GS Purple 6s had the same color placement as the Carmines(Purple where the Red is) these could be another variant of those but with the Infrared, Sport Blue, and Maroon color placement.

doubt it, there's even a picture with different color palettes of Maroon. Plus the pair pictured is a men's pair with the Nike air.

What material were the 2005's? Those were my all time favorite version of the 5's. I wore them out those and the 2005 Black and Red 14's.

They changed it back when Gentry Humphry punk *** was trying to please collectors and not make retros OG. He looked for the OG heads instead of the masses who didnt even own OGsThat OG font isdon't know why they ever changed it

Yeah.. The same guy that said Jordan Retros were going away after the 2008 CDPs so they could focus on team Jordan shoes instead
I think that ridiculous announcement plus the AF1 fusions were the reason why JB struggled between 2009-2011. Look what he's done to the foams these past couple of years after they hired him
