yesterday, old school "jordan 9" by nike came out again-
and my friends and i stood in the line even before the mall opened to get them, since it's in such low quantity. (there were 20 people or so in the line.)

i used love these "jordan 9"s when i was in middle school, so the resale of these retro version was such a big news to me- and i wanted them again for the sake of my "childhood" memory and such...

well, after i got it and brought it home, i found out that it slightly diff. than the original...
and i absolutely hate it!

so, what do you think...

1)keep it... it's still jordan 9...
2)return it...
3)keep it, but not wear it for a while... and sell it on e- bay or something.

 

I used to be a big Nike collector a few years ago, and since they started re-issuing models I've stopped.
Part of the (elitist and snobbish) pleasure was to have exclusive shoes that no one else would have, and it vanished with nike's commercial politics...
I have the ones you show, seung, but the real ones, and I must admit they are not my favorites, so I don't really care if they re-launch them. However I'd be pissed off if they were to do the same with the summer '96 Jordans, the ones with the mesh grille, low cut. I have 2 pairs of those, including the almighty white & grey leather ones, which were VERY rare.
Now I only wear Helmut lang black leather shoes.

Shoes are a bit like cars, you can't stop collecting them, they're often considered as penis extensions, and they say a lot about who you are (well I know this sounds like low-level psychology but it's a bit true)...

 

By the way just keep them but use them a lot so that they dont look too new.

 

if your not happy then RETURN it.. if you want to keep it for your chilhood memories then keep it and dont wear it.

 

Never did like Jordans... everyone gets them.

 

When I saw this thread I though it was asking about running shoes.

Do people really COLLECT shoes?

 

indeed : http://www.sneakerfan.com/


I have 45 pairs I think!

 

yup, i have about 80 pairs... sneakers, casual shoes, dress shoes... etc, etc...

 

sell it and buy Jordan 12 (my favorite)
