09 is bout to be a nice year for the retro....

I have mixed feelings about it. All these jays are classics for different reasons. Nubucks (black/university blue 12s) came in a package that was only supposedly available on Jordan website, you only got the envelope in the mail tellin u about it if u were a member or had "connections". The white/red 12 dropped in January of 97' and had the masses goin crazy cause it was one of the "regulars" (black/red, all black, or white/black colorways) which almost always drew attention. Last but not least, the SPACE JAMS, may be the most adored of all the XIs due to the fact they were worn by MJ in the 1996 movie Space Jam. All the jays below are set for release sometime this year. I have only one problem. Classics, originals or OGs as we like to call them are SUPPOSED to be hard to find, and have some sort sentimental and nostalgic value. The re-release are usually NOT of the same quality and they have usually changed something on the sneaker in the first place that ANY sneakerhead will be able identify. At the current moment, Im pretty much gonna say im disappointed in the Jordan Brand, their recently releases reek of desperation. All these GOD-AWFUL hybrids taking away from the original idea or tryna combine ideas from originals and mix them with a random number jordan (example). Whoever's responsible for this rubbish should be FIRED, no bullshit. Why u think mad ppl who used to collect Jordans heavy and cop every jay that drops are "retiring"? The game aint the same anymore....
