1st day sell out (see old royal 10s). These 90s babies were too young back then. smh

Are people forgetting that some jordans do sit? Stealth IIIs sat for such an embarrasingly long time. You could pick em up for $50 off like two months later

Oh what will the resale on these 2012's be probably higher then the 06.

06's are garbage

What's the point of getting them, you're better off with nothing.

Yep! That dude must be high as @@#* or something.
The 06's were so bad that these could easily be a better quality shoe than them. 

If you tried cleaning the 06's, the paint would come off. They creases to #%+% just trying them on and the mid sole paint cracked with the slightest wear.

Easy cop idk why ppl hate on blue J's lol. I love this color wave ima get 2 pairs and when one dies in a number of years break out the new ones

 I just hope they dont put that grey on em and the release the all white ones from the orignal sample pics from 2006....All white no grey was super fresh

My pair from 06? i think 06 its been so long is starting to go down hill.....to bad....

 

[mrfantasticj]

After years of wear (rain,snow NYC streets) mine have held up quite well. I don't even clean them unless they get really crazy.

Looks so much different compared to Air Randy's version.

why is the bottom the same color as the suede. makes it look ugly

Wow, 2006 were crap to the fullest.   Did you ever own a pair?  The leather was so paper thin, the toe box would fold like as if it was a piece of paper.

There's a chance these do sit. Just maybe, but it's not very likely, since the XIV's just sold out. If they sit I'll cop for $100 I've decided, but I'm only kinda into these. Looking forward to the Fire Red IV's way more.

You're the first to comment on this actually.
I was wondering the same. I'm not sure, but it doesn't look GOOD to say the least.

 

[dkeso611]

AJF Military IV's looked way better than these Lol. At least on those the color blocking was correct, in a sense.

 

[erik328i]

I was wondering what the difference will be between these and the '06s.

Mr. Fantastickj- Nice! I see your upper straps are yellowing just like my deadstock pair. SMH

Ughh I am going to be in Europe for that release (London). Maybe Nigeria but I dont think so. I need to get a friend to cop em for me. I want those more than I wanted the Techs (which I got)

i love me the military/bred 4's



had the 06 pair in middle school beat as hell they long gone now but i cant wait to cop the 2012's

 

[antonito90]

sit on them shelves

 

[nautyc]

I don't understand all the hype about these shoes. I worked at Footaction when these first dropped. They were hard to sell and although did not sit for very long it was a struggle. No biggie in my opinion.

 

[Bert.]

not sure what to think about these

I think the hype has died down significantly since it's retro release in '06.  
They did go on sale and sat for a while.    

With the way the White/Red XIV's flew off the shelves, I expect this release to follow the same pattern.
