Lighten up dude, it was posted in fun. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this board or in this hobby who goes a little over the top when their absolute single favorite shoe of all time comes back for a re-release. There are several deeper reasons this specific shoe means THAT much to me, but...

THIS is OD. :lol:

You must have never seen the picture of Mars Blackmon in his room with all the Jordan V's. Actually, I was going to stop at 10 pairs for myself, which is a nice round number, but in about a week the size 13's dried up locally and I wasn't going to give my business to resellers. :lol:

Yup. It's my favorite shoe of all time. Whenever this shoe releases, I plan for the long haul, LOL. I bought 7 for myself the first day, then 2 more shortly thereafter. In addition to one GS for my daughter, one big kid's for my stepson (that my daughter has inherited now), and a men's 8.5 for...

Today (6/29) is actually the exact day I bought my first pair in 1990. Many pairs and 29 years later, I still acknowledge this day every year. Pictured is one of the nine pairs I bought in 2016, still as DS today as the day I took the pic. The one 2016 pair I've worn is still doing pretty well...

3 years ago, I was somewhat apprehensive about that too when actual pics started coming out, because the tongue looked "pearlescent" and even a little bloated. But believe me, the newer tongue is a definite improvement. WAY more durable and longer lasting than even the OG tongue, because the...

I tried calling them a few months back and the guy I talked to said they sold out last summer.

Right off the bat, your best bet is to find a smaller sized OG jacket (meaning one actually produced in 1990) on eBay. Here's what I know, as well as my own personal rant, about the 2017 AJ V Vault (a.k.a. 1990 Jordan Flight Warmup Retro) line: For one, the remastered apparel never came in a...

I wouldn't recommend ever keeping them in any kind of bag. I don't even keep any of my DS V's in the plastic tissue that they've been coming in the past few years; I fold it up and put it in the corner of the box. Ever watch Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when bodies are unwrapped...

For those of you getting yellowing mesh already, are you wearing these that heavily? The mesh on my worn Grapes from 2013 hasn't even started yellowing yet, and I've probably worn them between 200-300 times. The blue tint on the sole has mostly worn off and they're kind of creased, but they...

I need some help with an AJ V sole issue. This is NOT oxidation yellowing. In early June I stepped in something that stained part of one of my AJ V's and I didn't realize it for a couple days. By the time I noticed, it was some kind of dried up pinkish brownish dirt-like substance. It might have...

I'd pick the 2007's every time, unless you're planning to get some 2011's and beat them into the ground. For one, the upper material on the 2007's is basically that year's equivalent of Nike's Durabuck formula, which I liked better than the Nubuck they used on the 2011's. For two, even if the...

:lol I don't think this is an opinion shared by many.

Some people say these fit tight, but both V's and IV's have always been pretty much TTS for me, and these are no different.

I was thinking the same thing. Jordan tees can be up to $40-$45 new these days. Just for a simple TEE, and it's not like the screen printing has gotten better with time; if anything, it's noticeably worse and the shirts wear out quicker. Depending on the shirt, $25 total can be a really good...
