Just got the retro's in today i hanged on to these since i got them a few months after they released around 97/98 A lot of NBA players wore these on the 97/98 season, but to me they will always be tony kucku's Retro's on the left OG on the right Retro's on the left OG on the right OG on the left retro on the right
I have worn mine several times, really like them. The "leather" is the status quo hard plastic material, but no complaints from me, love my pair.
I held the grey "barons" pair in hand today and tried on the blacks. They run bigger than I remember my OGs running, but I'd have to dig them out to be sure. As for the grey ones, I have to say, I was underwhelmed to be honest.
Not gone lie, worked out in mine to break em in, super comfortable, and not heavy at all, im a start hoopin in em monday. If you havent copped a pair idk what youre waitin on.
How is the forefoot cushioning? I've been looking for something with forefoot cushioning. Tried my 21 pe's the past 2 days and they seem no better than the adidas I had been using, even with the IPS bs
Oh, forgot to mention that the laces on the pair I tried on were super short. I only unlaced them a little to get my foot in and that made them not even long enough to reach the top eyelet. Anyone else encounter this? I tried a 13 which may explain some of it.
glad these are getting positive reviews... waiting on the UNC pair to go on super sale so I can hoop in them.
Anyone wearing these casually ? They're one of my all time favorite shoes to hoop in but I refuse to ball anymore since seemingly every time I step on the court now I tear my meniscus
will definitely be picking up an extra pair of these for the gym then. I want em now cause my feet been killing me but I know I will regret not waiting for them to go on sale
these will be stricly for casual wear this time around.. when i first had them i used em for ball and casually
Where can i get these for below retail? i was waiting on the reviews on these, and i'm glad they're good!
Just had to do it but these need black laces asap. I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE GUYS WHO BOUGHT THESE FROM ME
@big1236 fnl has them with free shipping and $20 off with this code 20RMN110 i'm pretty sure if you wait it out tho you can get them lower then that once they drop
I wore them twice casually and the painted white midsole section is already cracking from the seam. I thought it might be the midsole separating from the upper but certain it's paint cracking. Not tripping to be honest, knew this would be expected with JB retro quality, or lack of. Gonna use them as beaters now.
this also happened with the OGs, but not after 2 casual wears. more like everyday for both casual and playing bball outdoors. thats quality for you these days
hopefully that doesn't happen with the white pairs. really looking forward to the white/royal for casual wear if they really release. Waiting it out for a price drop before I scoop either the black or the white/unc for the gym
I am heading down to Las Vegas in a few weeks (they dont have them locally - Canada), but I was surprised no stores on the strip seem to have these... at least not what online is telling me. Does anyone know any stores on the strip that currently have these? Thanks in advance!
When will the black/ white version release? It says mid April, well today is mid April! The carolina one is already out! Thanks
Think im gonna say F it and hoop in these today. They just feel heavy compared to playing in Kobe 8s and Hyperdunks all the time
