Some of the wacky retro color ways, basically any “fusion” Jordan, and the overwhelming majority of Jordans after XII are hideous—that goes without saying. Still, back when Jordan were still Jordans, there were some butt ugly ones. White / Black IIs (I think the White / Red II are criminally...

bump Updating the OP with some new info. I original thought the soft soled First VII came in the special tin like the Vs & VIs but they came in the regular box. I also found pics of Sport Blue Baby Jordans VI and Black / Infrared First Jordan VI.

So just a bump to make sure...these aren't dropping tomorrow or next sat but on Monday?

thanks!

when do the Brown Pythons release?

We discussed this a bit earlier in this thread. The Adult Aqua Air Jordan VIII were labeled "Air Jordan 8" on the label. The Black 8s just said Air Jordan, and I'm unsure of the White/Red. Also, throughout the years several of the big kids sizes had roman numerals (some V and VI come to mind)

if you want the white/grey, just get them on ebay they don't go for much over what a new retail would cost from what I've seen. I picked up a deadstock pair about 2 years ago for under $150 in size 13. I hate what they did to the black/red, so I personally would have to go OG on those which...

Trying to make sure I have complete information about the original lace locks. Any help or discussion on the topic would be welcome. OG AJ V: White / Black-Fire Red White / Fire Red-Black Black / Metallic Silver all came with the same Fire Red lace locks, right? White / Grape-Ice did the...

Thanks for the stories...appreciate any info!

Could you expand on this? Do you mean it varies between color ways, or it varies between kids / adults, or do you mean even the same exact size and color might have a different label? I have found them to be relatively consistent within a given year and style to be honest. Most of the...

That's definitely not a universal rule. examples I know for certain from my own collection: -Baby Jordan IV are just called "Baby Jordan" on the label -Sky Jordan V are just called "Sky Jordan" -Sky Jordan VI are just called "Sky Jordan" -Soft Bottomed Crib Jordan V & VI are just called "1st...

Good point, I forgot about that but not entirely true. The OG Air Jordan VIII was titled "Air Jordan 8" on the label. (note 8 not roman numerals VIII) Not sure about the adult sizes but my boxed OG Baby Jordan VII are titled "Baby Jordan VII" The Air Jordan XII had "Air Jordan XII" on the...

so you think the typo is on the kid's box then? and why does the black and red not have it in the shoe name if it isn't the color?

The white / grey retros of these are fine, but they didn't include the I.E. anywhere on the label. They ruined the black and red retro imo, the shadow elephant looks terrible compared to the OG, not to mention the smoked soles (not sure if the OG had slightly tinted soles, but the retros are...

I think most people referred to them as the "AJ XI Low", because they basically were. They came out between the AJ XI and the AJ XII, they had the same midsole, air unit, and sole as the AJ XI and Jordan wore them during the playoffs, switching off between the standard XI high. I was just...
