Man, it gets worse and worse every time, kids talking about imaginary OG's that never existed....
1st retro version does not = OG
that's like calling the 01 Cool Grey XI OG's
I think it's funny as well, but in all honesty it's not as far fetched as the "all black concords" or "oreo space jams."
The Nubuck XII has an '03 and '09 version. I have the '03 version. If someone asks me if those are the original Nubucks, I will sometimes say that they are the original Nubucks and not the re-retro.
The proper technical name is retro+ and that is how I've called them for a while now, so I agree with what FrenchBlue said about the retro+ label, but a lot of people don't know what that means. Part of this is because they don't put retro+ on the box labels anymore. That's why sometimes I will just say the original Altitudes or Nubucks.
Imma give riceeeeeeeeee a pass

Back in our day, they were called Retro+, don't know why it would be referred as an OG? Retro is a Retro no matter the colorway, even if it was re-released.
They don't call the 00's Spacejams OG's do they??
space jams were a OG colorway though....
but everything that wasn't a OG color during its initial run is a retro + colorway.

Agreed. The spacejams might not be released to the public,But they were exclusive for MJs movie.Yes, they both had the 23 at the heel andboth had varsity royal traction pods and jumpman.But the ones MJ wore in the 1995 playoffs wereOthers, not only had they 45 written horizontallyBut the traction pods and jumpman was much darkerAlmost dark concord or at least midn. Navy.

yeah true but '00s are damn near impossible to wear daily due to age and constant paint chipping. I'll take a fresh pair of 2012 Oly 6 beaters all day!
Yeah, I agree with everyone that the video presented the shoe very poorly. Pre-creases reminded me of the garbage 2006 IV's Jordan Brand released six years ago. I hope the release pair doesn't look that bad. I never got the one released in 2000 so I will definitely be getting at least one pair of these. I also like the subtle hits of red on this shoe. Really sets it off.

hmmm....after that video I'm really on the fence now.
The hump should not crease like that at all.
I had the 2000 White/Navys and they never looked like that
even after I beat them to death.
Hypebeasts, resellers....I think you can have mine ^^

^ This.
Its one of those releases I wouldn't bend my back over.
I know this an easy pair, because in other pics they look great.
Watch once JB pics surface in the next week or so, people that say they are passing are gonna change their minds.
For me, I still want because I like the c/w.

Can't see how a video means anything. How do you know that they're a final pair?
