So I found a size 12 locally but the kid is wanting a pair of 01 Cords and either Varsity Red 2s or Sport Blue 3s for 8.5/10 88s. I don't care about the 2 or 3s but do the Cords hold the same "value" ?

Seeing as these will prob release again down the line I would say dont do it for 01 Concords, since 2001 Concords have the quality that any future Concord retro wont haveSo I found a size 12 locally but the kid is wanting a pair of 01 Cords and either Varsity Red 2s or Sport Blue 3s for 8.5/10 88s.

I hard from some owners of the Cement '88s that they were uncomfortable (from what I heard) and you can't compare tumbled leather to smooth leather.These are made much better than the cement 4s IMO. Leather is much better. Having Nike instead of Jordan underneath the shoe does nothing for me.
The 88s are definitely better material/craftsmanship than the new cement 4s and it's not really close. They're one of the best pairs jb has put out in the last few years imo. The Jordan on the bottom is annoying but that would be my only complaint honestly. I have a few complaints on the 4s. Both worth the price tag to me though.I hard from some owners of the Cement '88s that they were uncomfortable (from what I heard) and you can't compare tumbled leather to smooth leather.
Shattered Backboard 1s, Chicago 1s, Columbia 4s, Oreo 4s, and more have better material/craftsmanship too. I also said you can compare to different types of leather.The 88s are definitely better material/craftsmanship than the new cement 4s and it's not really close.

I just wouldn't hold out for a "better" white/cement 3 any time soon. They'll give us Nike on the bottom and take something else away.
What are the prices looking like for these now?
Lol wrong ^ , sz 12 DS going for 375-$450 max , same with most other sizes , dudes dropping $500+ on these ain't looking hard enough
What is the point of comparing a shoe that was released years ago to one now.I hard from some owners of the Cement '88s that they were uncomfortable (from what I heard) and you can't compare tumbled leather to smooth leather.
All of these you just named were released post - remastered series. Besides the Chicago's, do you even own any of these since you are throwing comparisons and trashing the 88s??

i found a sz 11 DS on ebay for $350 and brought it to FC and sold for $750. its possible but not oftenShow me where. I'm talking about real DS aka BNIB, not walked around the house with them, pics for IG and then up for sale. $375 is not a realistic price. A quick search on eBay shows lots of pairs for $400 but they're all used. FC is $700+.
