Copped these AI's from the Hanon sale for £52 reduced from £130... I wouldnt pay £130 for them but at £52 I had to cop them for the nostalgia, Ive not had any A.I's since the early 00's...

The Question Mid #6 is a nod to the 2002 NBA All Star Game where Iverson wore the #6 jersey to honour Dr. J, instead of his usual #3 jersey... So the heel also has the number #6 instead of the #3 too...

Entered 6 raffles for these 'Reimagined' 3's but only managed to hit on SNKRS thankfully... Would had like to double up but cant be greedy!!!

Was abit worried about quality control as I saw some terrible sneakers online of the right and left looking totally different...

Thankfully these are good quality for me, theres always slight differences on the left and right shoe (even back in the 80's)...

I defo think these retros are closest looking to 1988 OG's, even more so than the 94's... From the shape and details like the tongue, eyelets, stitching, the box and also the tissue in the box, the final results are great...

I would've copped if they were the fire red

I always felt like 3s were missing something and they just never really did it for me because they lack a lot of detail. For some that's why people love them

3s have always just been ok to me except for the black cements

3's are my favoute Jordans as the shape is perfect to me... You can wear them with sweats, jeans, cargos and shorts, even suits haha

You right with those Fire Reds though, I was so pissed that I missed them the end of last year... I tried catch a restock but had no luck and I refuse to buy from resllers so had to settle for lucking out...

TBH Ive pretty much given up buying loads of sneakers like I used to, as aside from the culture being wack with these young resllers hypbeasting everything, it felt like I was wasting money buying sneakers Ive alredy got (and hardly wearing) and the quality with Nike was lacking...

Its not until I saw how well done the Fire Reds were I was gutted that I missed them, they were alot better then all the previous Fire Red retros or any retros in forever... Feels like Nike really upped their game with those, the Jordan 2 Chicagos and these Reimagined joints... Its not just the materials but the shape and toe box too...

Still Im only picking and choosing a couple OGs retros from now (if Im able), aslong as they keep the quality up... Other than Im just catching gems in the sales... Im on the hunt to find some replacement New Balance ML999's next, my go to grey/ blue ones are starting to look abit worn...

they had like sum factory insoles for bout $15-20, not as comfortable tho

so I rolled w/ what I got

Yeah theyre dope bro....

The company you bought sneakers from should of sent you out some insole though, or give you a partial refund or a discount code... I'd defo hit them up...

yea

when I talked to the lady she was sayin sum shit but I'd have to send the shoes back & wait a few wks for the refund

then when she seen they were sold out in my size I was pretty much sol on gettin a new pair if I returned them



& I'm the type to cut my losses & keep it pushin

Yeah I get that... What I mean you coulda said just hit you with $30 discount code for next time or a partial refund of $20 or something...

My Jordan 2's had a rough/sharp eyelet so everytime I pulled the lace to tie them it would serrate the lace... They obviously sold out though so I couldnt send them back so I told Nike I'll take them to a local cobblers and get them smooth it out, which an easy 2 second job but told Nike to hit me with a discount code for the hassle... I got 20% off code which was more than I thought they would give tbh
