True.
But people were still calling the Knicks anyways, and they are the same colors.
So I don't think it matters, people were still hype.

I can share some of my opinions on this issue from experience. I am currently selling my collection now because of financial hardship, but not having much luck, even on some of my deadstock sneakers. It might be a great idea at the moment to buy what's hot and in now, but later down the road most of the sneakers lose their hype and depreciate in value. I am very surprised it was going to be this hard to sell old sneakers that are BRAND NEW. For example, I cannot sell my deadstock Olympic 6's (200for the life of me. They were the ones that were multi-colored with the embroidering on the toe box. They were "limited" and retailed at $175. I'm lucky if I get $175 back, but I wouldn't get the tax that I paid for back, which was like $15. Basically I lost money and time. After I experienced this, I realized I have purchased many sneakers that were not flying off my shelves as I would like. But, again, I am dealing with people from craigslist
. freakin' hagglers.
MANY traditional "investments" result in losses...that doesn't mean they aren't investments. Anybody own Ford stock? Probably not, but it was once a solid investment that has crumbled. You guys are making the term "investment" and "profitable" interchangeable, which they are not.
Aside from the fact that I specifically used the terms "almost" and "OG"...those (terrible) oly VI's are not OG's...they were also whack when they released and they're whack now.
Still missing the point like a freethrow shot...

They just do happen to release them in a Cavs colorway, on an anniversary and same week "the shot" happened.
Theres no way they can be Cavs and not Knicks. (sarcastic)

Lol at ppl having their own theories on shoe names based off colors... Instead of being on niketalk so much some of y'all need to go to YouTube and watch some Jordan highlights....

I can't believe I got scammed. Found out another user did too.
I hope some will be availaibe on the 11th or so of June when i get my next check.
I know. I just didn't want to put your name out there. Are you trying to get another pair? I will but I won't get paid till mid June. Ill try to scoop these and the militaries at the same time. If not, at least ill be getting all the OG colors.
Yea I still want A pair but need to prep for a crazy June next month. These seem to be widely available anyhow.
