Dude if we eat right and say our prayers and take our vitamins we might be on our deathbed to see the 100 which is genuinely insane to even think about.
^^2016 sucked dude. Looking down on them was like dump trucks or something man. Totally removed any and all Tinker shape from the equation. Didn’t look like Air Jordan’s at all.
I didn’t love the 2006 release, but at least I could take the Birds Eye view on those.
Anyone who says these need the 23 simply wasn’t there in 94
The lack of 23 made them special, almost the same effect for us 90s kids as seeing the aj7 have a 9 on the back. Just made them their own amazing magical thing.
I can imagine being under 35 or and having only seen retro 9s my entire...
Was gonna say these new ones are pretty much spot on from how I remember the originals looking back in the day. Obviously the mind can play tricks, but most of what you’re seeing as a difference is due to aging.
These playoffs smoke the 2011. Put it this way these were the first 13s I’ve purchased and enjoyed since 2004 lol. They even stand toe to toe with my originals and hang tough without getting thoroughly laughed off the coffee table. The switch back to genuine leather toes was huge. 2011 was super...
I did not care for 2003 12s at all. They were definitely super zoomy and the uppers were really malleable out the box, but that was the issue to me. I much prefer the subtle cushioning in the 1997 originals as well as the tonka truck like super thick leathers they used.
I remember clowning a kid down the street in ‘94 who had these because kids are jerks and I was a moron, only to buy them in ‘02 and dye them…. Only to regret it immediately. I’m beyond ready for any and every original colorway 9 in this updated mold.
Would also love some cool grays.
Do y’all think the slightly beefier OG-thick laces features in the gratitudes will be a staple going forward? The thick puffy laces are so important to the vibe IMO.
