Those VIIs are beautiful. My boy got a pair and I would love to have a pair myself. The nickname makes no sense but I know thats how alot of people see themas.
I remember when LS were coming out. Didnt know much about them til this thread but I copped the olives and REALLY wanted the CG 3s. Some good jays came out.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. IMO the packages where stupid. Theres a lot of people who dont like the higher number(i.e. 15, 17, 18, 19)so for the people who wanted the 5s they had to deal with the 18s. In the end JB got its money but it got some peoplpe mad. And Mars are better again IMO.
I went with my boy to buy his griffeys(royal/volt) and they wouldnt take a coupon he had even though we checked the fine print and it said nothing on newerreleases. Then I asked my friend who works there and she said they cant even get a discount. Not sure about the 20% thing. But its...
IMO It depends on the buyer. If its somebody who just wants the colorwave then they'll prefer the re-retros, but for those who like the actual shoethey'll spend a little more for the retros.
Retro cards never really phased me. The poster of "The Shot" that came with the black cat IV was good. I have that posted on my wall. Ill startselling retro cards if people would buy them.
I wish I started earlier. Just turned 18 and passed up countless opportunities to get some heat. Just buy what you like, haters will hate but let them. I justbought some DS Mars IV and thats my most significant buy and thats not saying much. Good luck with your collection!
