    Like the title says, does anyone think that there are some retro+ colorways that are better than their OG counterparts? If so, give the colorway you like and the OG you think this colorway is better than.

    I myself think the:
    white/stealth V is better than the grapes
    flint grey and cool grey IX are better than the olive IX
    any retro XIV is better than the chutney XIV low
    the black/chambaray VII along with the white/flint-purple VII are better than the Cardinals and Hares.

    These lists will be subject to high scrutiny so have your flame suits on!

    In general, I was never a fan of the Retro Plus concept, but it's become such a large part of the hobby since it was introduced, I've either warmed to the idea or just given in to the fact that they're going to be there.

    Having said that, of course there are SOME retro plus colorwars that are better than SOME of their original colorway counterparts. It would be extremely sad if, with all the retro pluses that have come out, Jordan Brand had yet to release a single retro plus colorway that surpassed one of the original colorways of each model.

    I thought that the cool grey IXs and the black/carolina XIIs actually surpassed most of the original colorways of those models. I liked the chartreuse XIVs better than the white/red originals. These are just a few examples.

    In general, original colorways as a group are better, but there have been some hot retro pluses over the last half-decade plus that they've been producing them.

A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed and blew it out."​

    I agree about the Ice Blue X's. They are my favorite X ever released.....besides that OG kills all, not because they are original colorways....I just dig them more.

    i hate the hare's. they look weird with the green and red. they also look plain.


    white/grey/purple viis > hares

    i got the feelin that people only like them cuz they are an OG colorway, and if jordan had played in the greywhitepurple ones first, then they would be sayin they were better then the hares if the hares were a retro + colorway.

    ^^co-sign, some people just follow the "hype" of the OG's, and only dislike other shoes just because they aren't OG.
    I don't need a sig to fit in...
