That shape

Man when they bring us the playoff next year supposedly they said they will bring the OG shape and colors etc. At least make it like the 02 shape that was really nice looking pair of playoffs.

I think I’m in on these

That photo looks much better. I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning more toward copping.

Same but I know if i don't cop, I will regret it later.

Had a pair back in the day but this new shade is definitely throwing them off...

Hopefully I'm able to grab a pair and if I don't like them I'll just send them back

 

[ccastro02]

Yea it’s not even the shade of grey that bothers me so much. It’s the horrible shape I can’t get past.

Can people who really know the VIIs give me a breakdown of the bad shape problems?

Unlike the terrible IVs for example, Ive never really been able put my finger on what seems wrong about most retro VIIs

This pic reeled me back in. I was ready to pass with some of the previous pics that have been coming out.

I wonder how quick these will move on release day. I remember the more recent pairs of 7s like the Ray Allens sat and even went on sale but then again that was before covid and this a much more sought after colorway.

They are selling out ASAP

Yeah I don't see it either. Slightly off, but not nearly as butchered as other models. OGs seem more narrow and less bulky than the mid -late 00s retros. The more recent retros have improved on this, but it's still a bit off.

I've lost track of what the actual OG shape but to my mind its close to 03 Olys and closer to a Jordan VI shape like the Infrared VI toe box on the 2019 pair. Based on that: 1. The heel shouldn't lean in as much and 2. The toe box shouldn't be this lumpy looking puff.

I think 2015 Bordeaux were like that.

My man JRepp23 would know though. I think he loves the VII.

I prefer the shape from the early 2000’s which is def more triangular. Since the CDP’s, we’ve been getting a slight triangle shape with a banana curve at the toebox.

This is an image I found online of the 2002 retro. I think that would be my ideal shape.

Got these back when the flints originally released. They are the highest quality basketball shorts I've ever had. The materials are great and the shorts are heavy as hell. I'd probably drown if I went swimming in these.

I think they were around $70 back then, they'd probably be around $100+ nowadays if they retroed with this quality.

The matching shirts, I have a two of each, still DS.

I think in the 2000s, this was the first Jordan Retro that had a lot of purple in it, so I went crazy on the matching clothes.

I posted these in another thread. These are 2002s. It's not the OG shape. The OG shape is really slim and has huge wings.

I like this shape too though, this pair has a great toe. The toe is super-sleek, it has that downward slope that a lot of OG Jordans had. At least my pair does, idk if they all did in 2002.

See, I like this shape better than early-mid 2000 7's. More og-like imo. 2015 Bordeaux are dang near perfect besides the toe bump.

You’re not passing. You who kidding.

I notice the flints doesn’t have that toe bump so it might be a cop for me it’s just so much heat dropping !

Oh ok I get you on that. It’s the darker shade of grey on this pair that throws me off.

You right .
