I hate it when every thread turns into a "which year was the best" conversation.

Usually happens towards the tail end of the shoe year but with these being such a dud it's just come sooner. We got the ID thread ecstatic that they made all grey or all white shoes for 230

I went to try on the Chester elite lows and I was wearing shattered back board 1s. So funny the difference in tech and support from back in the day to now lol.

I thought all retro Jordans (without visible air) had zoom in them?

Zoom is different than nike air. 1's had nike air in the heel. Not all Retros have the same support or tech.

I know the difference between zoom air and air. I was just asking if the Jordan 1 went from an air set-up to zoom like other of retro Jordan shoes

Ok I'm convinced you're a troll but I will take the bait. 85 has nike air. Shattered back board has nike air. That is the only tech in the shoe it's the same thing. The SBB is remastered to the higher mold and the quality is very good. Probably the best quality Jordan in the last 5 years. If you haven't seen and felt these in person don't comment.
Sorry to derail the thread.

i never troll, just because leather is soft doesnt mean its quality, you guys with no textiles backgrounds but constantly wanna say somethin is quality leather kill me
and youre seriously naive if you think the air bag in your 1s are like the air bags in the 1s that came out in 85, jb dont even make retros to hoop in anymore so what makes you think its the same exact pair??
jb stopped makin retros for the court in 2005, my black/red 12s from 03 feel completely different than any of my 12s i got in 2012 "but its the same tech"
how did them orange lows feel doe?

Ever heard of Jordan 6 "Pistons" or "Lakers"?....I guess those two teams were never rivals of the Bulls back in 91. There's Jordan 8 "Suns" too....
There is already precedent set for Nike/JB for having colorways of rival or beaten teams.

Leroy Smith 1s, rival person why do people care so much about the inspiration of colorways?

Went to the mall yesterday and convinced myself to try on the Chester's (Is that what they're called? Haven't been really paying attention to shoes in a while man) and I must say, I had the urge to buy them.
They look dope on feet, if they go on discount might have to pull the trigger.
BTW, my list goes for top five models:
8>6>9 low>5>10 elite low

no matter what justification you want nike to tell you or whatever, that CW concept attaches mr. chester-cheetah to it. you can convince yourself and others that it's just an orange colorway, or mango, or Halloween thing, or rivalry, but the CW just trigger 'mr. cheetah'.
regardless, i still think it stems from the fact that the CWs are marketed differently now. shoes were made to match uniform and 'endorsed' by players. it makes perfect sense to bring out colorways attached to the player's team. this is why we saw the Lakers CW, but we did not see this release the same way. my thoughts are the same though; it's because nike wants to milk every single thing out of the model.
i dunno how you can attach every single holiday/event/school/etc. etc. to a signature shoe and not release a lakers tone CW. miss the inlines period. what about the MLPS concept? the whole 'pain' thing was weak.

I dont like these contrasting toe elites - makes the shoe look like a bell end, I hope they bring out some CWs without this effect.
