Which playoffs were you watching?
Best to just call them the Bulls DMP VII

i really dont know what kind of playoffs YOU were watching, but he actually did wear these in the '92 postseason since he only wore his white shoes during the regular season. Take a look:


MJ vs Knicks (Playoffs)




MJ vs Blazers (Finals) 



  


SMH @ guys not doing their homework

 

Owned.


And dude actually went out and tried to cross out your whole statement smh



Agree on the Raptor thing. Raptors didn't even exist when these dropped, one of the worst nicknames along with Cherry XII's

I guess my comment was a bit out of line. So I apologize to you man ^
Doesn't change my stance on my comment though. What I meant was the DMP VII isn't true enough to the original release for the OG blk/red VII and the DMP VII to be considered the same shoes. I may be the only one who feels this way. Just how you can't say Jordan wore the "Flu Game" XII's in the "Flu Game" as they both are drastically different shoes imo.

OG cw

These are not the same as what he's wearing. That was my point. Nothing less, and nothing more.

Retro+ cw

 

I know enough about shoes and their history. No need for homework studies. It's already in my head.

.............back to the topic at hand.

my DMP Raptor VII's kinda remind me of the Bordeaux's whenever i wear them and look down at em. They arent OG, but they were still a nice shoe IMO

What's funny though is that the DMP's are actually MORE like the OG's, not Retro's as far as looks.. OG's had the 2 tone like nubuck/durabuck or whatever it was...

^^^^ True. I've always wondered why the DMP 60+ got so much hate towards it when the black vii was more towards the OG. OG has a charcoal and black on the shoe. The 02 retro was the one that was %%$*## up. It was mostly all black and yall cry when JB gets something right by releasing the Retro with the charcoal.

Not exactly. The OG's only became two toned after much wear and tear. Fresh out the box they were a dark black nubuck (See the MJ pics posted). They eventually faded over time due to the weathered durabuck they used.

"Raptors" are probably my most hated nickname I can think of. There's just so many levels of wrong about the term. And it actually sickens me that more and more shoe heads associate the black/red VII's with an expansion team's old colors, who by the way, DID NOT EXIST in 1992.

I actually contemplated editing the title for the OP so it'd be more accurate. Seriously.

But, I get where you're coming from ninjahood. It's spilled milk. We should get over it. Will I ever? Probably not.

I stated, "as far as looks".. I understand wear added to the looks of OG's that we see now.. But aesthetically when we look at Originals (when the DMP came out) the 2 looked so similar as to how they aged, if you understand what I mean.. It was like "pre aged" in a sense to make it look like an original pair, to me that was cool!
