What? They just released these in the 85’ mold . Absolutely NO reason for this release. They sniffing paint thinner up at Nike HQ these days?

Which is more disappointing yall think? These being reimagined or black/red 12’s getting canceled? I think these getting reimagined takes the cake for me. I really needed a Metallic 5 og proper in my life. I still have my 2016 flu games.

It’s true there is some shoes that are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue for a rerelease, more than the 12s. And among 12s, Taxis are more due. The Charcoal 7 comes to mind first. White/Infra 6. Fire Red/black tongue 5. Bugs Bunny 8. Charcoal 9. To name a few. I’m still super salty we are getting...

Yea not big on the white laces with these, but that’s an easy enough fix. I’m curios about everything else though.

Why does JB f around with the 12 so much. They KNOW we want Taxis and Obsidians (to a lesser extent) yet keep hitting us with these gimmick colorways nobody asked for. It would be comical if it wasn’t so ridiculous at this point.

I’ll wait for pics before I judge, the description is pretty vague.

Somewhat bummed, but money saved I suppose.

Yea sometimes og details aren’t always the best. IMO, all 11’s should have a stitched 23 on the back, even if that’s not how the originals were. But it’s hard enough to get JB to get retros as good as OG’s let alone improve them.

In.

I’m pretty sure 3-9 crumbles. However, I believe 7 retro midsoles are made with a different material than the OG’s, so maybe those won’t anymore.

The album in my avatar, would have loved to seen it recorded in real time.

Mike playing in them would have helped a bit but even still it was a HUGE step down from the 14, even Tinker admitted this. That tongue sticking forward wasn’t it, and they felt like bricks on foot. EDIT: can yall fix the site CONSTANTLY refreshing? Seems like it’s getting worse.

I’m happy with the FR3 release. Sure the print could have been thinner, but it’s a bit more forgiving since the print is darker than on the cements.

Black reds plz. Just need those in the new 13 shape and I’m done with 13s.

All of those are great, but I think these 4’s are as close to a 1:1 retro as we ever got.
