As with Nike, we are all familiar that when it comes to retroes, there's gonna be a new mold. And if you imagine the various products Nike and Jordan produces, they will run out of the higher quality materials and lean towards the more sufficient and cheaper materials. If they kept the old molds and if there was an ample supply of the older materials, we would of had bomb *** retroes, but there is no sign of thatOriginally Posted by LDJ

Its not that nessesarily its just I look at all these retros and then I look at my kicks and im sorry they just seem like overly priced cheap poorly made remakes of the real deal. So how is that different then what so called fakes are? im sorry but my og fire red v's are different then any of the retros ive ever seen. As far as qaulity as far as details, the packaging the box etc... Everything ppl are saying about those aj3 in this post seems to be the same for the aj3 i see being retroed in the fl, champs, fa etc.. My aj3's have nike air on the back. the elephant print is different both in looks and materials as well as other aspects of the shoes. Another example is my aj ix, the overal materials is cheaper and different, even the cut of the shoes, the amount of laceloops, the stitching, the hue of some of the shoe colors, the craftmanship etc. They are poorly made and cheap. and on top of that cost more then what I can recall the costing. So are ppl saying cheap pale imitations are ok so long as they get them from a retailer like a footlocker, champs etc. But if someone gets poorly made cheap imitations of a shoe from a unauthorized dealer, or unknown dealer then its not ok?
Im sorry i just dont quite understand it, and maybe thats why im not in the game anymore, but isnt it essentially something collectable or valuable or og means just that og and original and not a remake? Thats like saying a nike swingman jordan jersey is the real deal jersey that jordan wore because you bought it from champs, but a nike jordan jersey that was made at nike but wasnt authorized to be sold by nike is fake. Either way both are fake cause neither is the actually jerseys that were made and produced by nike for jordan to wear in the nba. They both are replicas remakes..
I didn't want to call them fakes, but while watching through multiple videos and inspecting multiple pics, they are not the same shoe compared to the pairs sold by authorized retailers. If you believe the retroes today are lower in quality compared to the OGs, you're right. As for the pairs sold under unauthorized retailers, they are stoops lower than the new retroes. This video proves it: . The appearance is uncanny, but the quality isn't. We don't know how they were produced and where, but it couldn't be under Nike's supervision. The little details are crucial to spot fakes from the real deal. But then again, these early releases remain a mystery; we can't necessarily call them fakes, but they are not the real. Hence, why i call them unauthorized. I just wanted to warn the people that it is risky to buy from these early releases and you're better off buying from authorized retailers. It saves them from the fear of buying fakes and making threads like these.
I bought a pair of retro 4 "Breds" From them and people did say they mix in early releases they didn't sell so people asumed they were Replica's But the Retro 4's I bought seemed 100% Authendict The sneaker for sure looked 100% LEGIT, but the box it even had the little white square sticker that tells what stor it was stocked at. ill paste a pic of what i mean mine was from footaction so it said FTA. The pic is just a example of what i am talking about.im sorry but im on my phone and cannot access any other board. can anyone tell me if these guys are legit or not? im just sitting here debating if i should cancel the order or not, any personal reviews?
UPDATE
so i got em in. legit or not? please help me NT
as in my opinion, these look like b-grades, still nice for me, but i need your info NT, ty
sorry for the ninja sized pictures

why do you keep bumping this thread when we have an official unauthorized jordan thread lmaoI've been buying and wearing Jordans since jr high i'm 31 now so i am used to the og's, but only 4's and 11's i buy but sometimes 9's and 5's on special og releases, but i'm not going to argue that vmvinc is legit or selling knockoff replicas which just to be clear i cant stand chumps selling this garbage there ruining the game. But i ordered ounce from them a pair of retro 4 breds my girls friend wanted them for her man so i took a chance it was after the release at the time and i was not going to pay outrageous prices on ebay so i ordered them not that vmvinc was much cheaper but a little lol. I did recive them in the mail about a week later and compared them to the pair i bought from nike.com for myself that no way in hell i was selling,but what i can say no difference in the sneakers and the box even had the white little square tag thats on legit pairs like footlocker it will say FTL or Footaction FTA Or Eastbay ETB etc.... But maybe i got lucky i don't know the answer but they were legit.
