Cherrys - 11 years, Playoffs and Obsidians 8 years, Taxis 7 years.
Meanwhile other jordan models have been retroed as little as 4- 5 years.
Smh.

I don’t casually throw out the word “need” for a pair of overpriced sneakers but I really need the playoffs to retro again soon. Amazingly never owned a pair.

I feel the same about cherries. I remember being 8 years old and thinking they were the coolest shoes i have ever seen; I still think they are.

The 12s were the shoes the got me into Jordans. The Cherries, Taxis, and Flu games are my favorite Jordans of any model/colorway.
I had the taxis but they were stolen from me unfortunately and i'm still waiting on an attempt to even buy the cherries; I was too broke back in 2009.

Yup. I found a chick that's going to reglue the toe of my Cherries so I'm not going to wear those again until I get them done.
Matter of fact, I'm going to throw on my Taxis tomorrow when I go pick up my Flint 13s.

I still have all 5 OG colors. Now my Taxis are beat, as I wore them the most (played outdoors in them back then). But my road aways (white/reds) home playoffs, road playoffs and Obsidians are all in great shape other than needing a reglue in spots. I have the Barge just have to watch a video on how to do it right without getting excess glue on the carbon plate. I think it was Vic who used painters tape, traced the pattern, took off the pieces of tape that aren't needed and then glued the soles down. Gonna have to watch it again.

I want OGs and am willing to pay OG prices but ONLY if they’re wearable. Which has been dumb hard to come by in a size 12. Most are cracked.

I have their Infinity Cement. It's the one you see on all the restorer's videos (Vic, John Manalo, Etc).
For example, if the rubber sole is completely off the midsole, you need to clean off all the old glue from each piece. Then, apply a layer of cement on the sole and midsole. Let it cure for 20 minutes or so. Once it's cured, all that is needed is heat (a heat gun or hair dryer on high)to activate it and have each half adhere to each other. A little clamping down (taping the soles tightly) is a good idea.

Glad to help buddy. The best thing is to pull up a video on YouTube from John Manalo. Guy is amazing at doing reglues and sole swaps. It doesn't look hard, just gotta get the stuff and give it a go.

After seeing the UNDFTD-esque AJ1s, I'll be passing on those, and I may 3X up on these instead. Roughly one month and a half away 'til we feast on these!
