    wait so you were a collector, and now you're saying that collecting is a waste of time? which one is it? Like I quoted above....Nike Air should've never had this mentality as a "precious pedestal to collectors" to preserve the collectors and OGs J's. That was Gentry's stupid thinking.

    To be really discouraged at JB because Nike Air is returning on an Air Jordan, shows the real mindset on how people look at Jordans. Being that the mindset isn't truly sentimental at all to begin with.

    I'm good with my 2011's. Good to see OG collectors getting ******* on. I love when they cry about their precious OG's.

    Maybe not you, but they know that most ppl who copped last year will be gunning for these. It's pretty much a slap in the face.

    That makes no sense. You're talking about the 01 retros and then the OG's. The OG's lost little to no value when the 2001's came out. Stop man. I remember that plain as day.

    Of course, the ones who've never seen Mike actually play ball will be wearing these :x :smh:.

    Congrats to those who are going crazy now. I was buying retro's when they first released them with the NA.

    Didn't cop the white cements.
    Those will be copped.. Me.. My wife..and I will get her fam n my fam to all try n cop.

    This completely BLOWS for anyone with an OG or a 94 retro. Makes them almost worthless.. And pointless for taking care of
    Them

    Wow. The hype is gonna be real for these, but I don't expect it to be as big as the Yeezys unless they are super limited (around 3000 pairs made) and online only. First time the Nike Air on the White Cement 3's makes a comeback since 1994 :wow:

    Really hope these are a General Release so everybody has a chance to purchase and wear.

    No, not completely true. The OG's and 94 retros were made very well with a higher ankle cut, so from a collectors standpoint it's still a higher valued rendition.

    This just confirms I'm selling my entire collection now. Obviously they can bring out the Nike Air logo anytime so the garbage I have now will all be sold.
