. A lot of cities and NT'ers will never even get a whiff of these shoes and have to settle for things like those awful blue chips I or Max Go and such.

I cant wait to get my pair and rock them ASAP. Besides most of the RETROS are for casualwear not for serious players. If you want to play get some Lebrons, Kobes or choose from some really great balling shoes with great tech inside.

We all keep complaining about quality, logos and such when there are people that dont even have money to buy at Payless much less JB.

I remember when I had to buy spalding shoes to play ball and how much in awe I when I saw these and the Pippen I. Now that Im older I can happily buy these and enjoy them so much more.

*Puts flame suit on* Bring the fire boys I dont care I loved these Shoes

Couldn't agree with you more. and i had those spalding shoes in 7th grade when all the dudes around me had the VI OGs (1991). I wanted em sooo bad but the family didn't have money for that type stuff...its all good. got the retros in 2000 and sold em after i beat em to hell 5 yrs later(paint crackin, rubber peelin, durabuck peelin) ...got $87 on ebay

. I picked up 2 pr this time around and may get a 3rd. I love em. In fact, i may like these better than my Black/Red XIs(not quality just overall looks)...but maybe it's just a sentimental thing

Nice to know I wasnt the only one rocking spalding wanna be CB34's

. When I saw the VI, I went back in time to my high school days when one pair of shoes lasted at least 1 year and I only took them off when they felt like socks

. So glad I could catch thes (Online order pending). I still saw some 8.5 and 7's in So Cal. Brought a tear to me eye.

Oh memories! I wanted those OG's so bad back then too. At least my dad got me LA Gear B424's and not Spaldings.

Went to my local mall on Sat at 10AM (no early openings in CBUS), bout 10 people waiting around...i walked straight in, got my 2nd pair 10.5 with ease.
Props to hotbutter for shipping me a pair early...glad i could help an NTer catch a break on the SJs since I had extras.

Yo, on the real, I used to have these joints in 1991 (I was 11 yrs old) and they were my favorite shoe of all times...hands down.. When I saw that they weren't infrared and that JB was using suede, I was like "f-that"...until I saw them in person.

After I saw them in person, I just could not resist. Slipping the shoe on was like I was 11 years old again, sliding on my Jordan VI.

Would I have rather had it made w/nubuck and infrared? YES

Do I regret the fact that I copped two pair? NOPE

Bottom line is that these shoes are cold as hell and the VI have one of the best shoe silhouettes of a shoe of all time.

Commence to hate...

[gottabdashoes]

^ Took the lace locks off of mine. They look g a y like that to me. No offense to anyone though. lol

 

[jordandub3]

I'm glad I didn't have to wait in line for these. Got to the local mall at 3pm and they still had my size left. I guess the Space Jams put a dent in everybodys wallet.

 

[mcfly22]

i had mine a week early and paid the extra 25 bucks to have em early and there wasnt a major demand for em....then couldnt even rock em early cuz its been rainin for the las 2 weeks...ohhh well...pretty good show, but why the GS joints nubuck???

[detrick177]

my pair was held up because somehow i didnt pay for tax...? called champs today and my order is all cleared

Not only that but the motorsports are around the corner so everyone is saving up for those. If i dont get a pair, i will be sad for many many years.

Very nice. I might try that out later on and see how it looks. What about some red laces on them? Any pictures from anyone with red laces? I would do it buy i have no red laces and plus I'm too lazy.

Lets get some more pics of people rocking 'em.
