****JB NIKE IF YOU ARE LURKING****

But for me, I only want White/Black/Red II's.

Favorite all time, not the BS lows thats releasing.

@ op: People don't flame on here any more. They come at you with tired *** GIFS. And for good reason, sensorship is at an all time high over here. So many of my post are edited.....




And Nike is always lurking. That's part of the reason they stay on top. They got eyes and ears everywhere.

That's cool but what about the people who don't? Why doesn't Jordan Brand/Nike get a little self respect going and look good to the ones that think they don't? Use better materials because of the people who think your products are just the bare minimum effort for the maximum profit. Instead of making sure you have the most expensive shoes as an elite status symbol, how about you make the best made shoe you can so you can say 'we make the best gd shoes in the world, not just the most popular'. Cutting costs on materials isn't about good business, its about disrespecting your customer and greed. You have the best sneaker blueprints of all time but you **** on your legacy when you cut costs and raise prices like that. You're definitely not doing yourselves a favor in the long run yet I feel like you're laughing at how stupid your customers were between 2011 and 2015.

And make your shoes in the USA ffs. Can we get past the whole kindergarten asian slave thing already? The reason your market share isn't 100 percent is all because of this. You guys seem to like your marketing... aint nothing better than a homecoming. Shed the guilt and shame and come home. Do yourselves, your country and customers a favor and just do it. This sinks the UA market's battleship.

Very well said. Quality is awful. Materials suck. They are making a fortune. Cut a little profit for a better product
 
Da last raptors were great. All black durabuck. What more would you want?
the original durabuck and nubuck upper the og abd 2002 pairs had lol

da OG raptors had MULTIPLE restocks and none of them were da same..

So u had OG's of all durabucks and 2002 lookin, u even had leatherish pairs..

A OG would remember Sneakerpat's site detailing all this waaaaaay back then...

Da bottomine is da 12' pair looks alot better...probably da most well liked retro of that year probably.

I would never want 2002 or 2007 DMP lookin raptors again. :x

View media item 2021396Bruh these look like GS specials. Lack of any suede nubuck mix makes these look like they cut corners. If you're a grown man and cant keep nubuck clean thats ur problem lol. Had mines for years and no issues. Now lets not get on the shape. 2012s looks like a subway footlong.

I do agree with you on the DMPs tho. Looks like they had an offspring with the Bordeauxs.

Agree to disagree.. Cuz i got both pairs and i disdain da 2002's.

Da 2012's were welll loved on da street because they were consistently black in color...back in 2002 everyone wished da adult pairs resembled da GS sizes...they're literally exactly like da VI's in this iteration.

I think this is a case where ya got rosed colored glasses to idolize older retros just cuz...da 2002 shape is farther from da OG shape than da 2012 too...

Im blown than anyone liked em in retrospect now that da 2012 dropped...

Like i said, agree to disagree...
 
Not JB but I swear the south beach Miami 8s must return one day...never had a lb shoe but that is a grail

I do somewhat like older retros. But thats cuz JB came correct and wasn't playing game by pulling key features like 3m on 13s, Nike Air, deflated shape etc. Lately they've changed their tune tho. So respect to them on that.

02-08 7s shape def dont resemble the OG. I just like the look better, and thats why I think I'll ever buy a 7 again.

Like u said agree to disagree. All in all we agree they're a dope shoe at the end of the day.
 
Oh yea, I forgot to add. Go back to maybe 1-2 retros a month. Most people buying have families and other obligations. There's 0 reason there should be "major" retro releases weekly, especially at 190-400 depending on release. Went from buying everything to being very, very selective because of a ~750-800 low point for pricing per month and they don't have the material to churn out 4+ releases a month. If it was still 1-2 we wouldn't be getting some of these awful colorways that rot online and on the shelves.

I agree, having a release every week really floods the market and puts unnecessary pressure on those at Nike to come up with something new all the time, hence some of the awful colourways.

nah, none of the OGs were full durabuck. Tbh i just prefer the dura/nubuck mix. I beleive the 2012 cut corners just like they have been doing with the black infrareds since 2010. However, the 2009 pair was outright disrespectful. Give me black durabuck and black nubuck and ill be pleased.
