What's good folks,
So, I've been waiting for this release for some time now. The 2015 Air Jordan retro VII "Bordeaux". Now supposedly this is the remastered version. in 2011 Jordan band retroe'd this colorway for the first time. I had a pair of the 2011's , but sold them wasn't real happy with the qaultiy and shape wise. the 2011 pair was a very wide shoe, looked mid not high top. Te toe box was squared and soo much other errors. You I understand that we cannot duplicate the original but there was majo flaws. Anyways, back to the 2015 release which in my opinion is 3x better and closer to the OG model.
I got to admit being apart of the sneaker culture for decades the smell of brand new kicks is a major deal. It's like a drug or smelling gasoline. You just can't stop smelling a new pair of Jays. The smell of the Bordeaux ha that "OG" sneaker smell. Call me weird but "DAMN SON!!" brings me back just like that....The midsole color is a dark charcoal just like the og pair, the Bordeaux color is more liek a 'Bordeaux' color to the original. They added more bright colors on the bottoms. The tongue is petty good: Shapes and more colors like Army green, Yellow, Photo blue etc. Finally, the shape is beautiful. That slim like high top shoe from the 90's this release has definitely fulfilled that role.
These shoe's were on of my major grails for me in the sneaker culture. In 92' I had the black/red/charcoal pair. One day at a family function, I seen my little cousin and he had a pair of Bordeaux, and I was like, "whoa dere! I need that pair!" The color was so out there. It definitely grabbed my sights. I was real jelly for some quite time. Im thankfull that Nike/Jordan have brought these out for a second time and have finally done justice. I get it Jordan Brand, I get it! We'll always have a hate/love releationship Jordan Brand.
One more thing.....If you like this pair go out there and grab one. I see alot of so-called, wannabe sneakerfiends out there. AKA hypebeast. train riders....saying, "Let me just pull out my 2011 pair" or "The 2011 pairs are way better than the 2015". Im just going to say it, STOP. The 2011 pair isn't better than the 2015. Yea folks have opinions but I'm being real, it isnt. So stop kids, The reason why they're saying that is because they just wan't to show the audience that they've been here for too long(which they really haven't they prolly had 5 years tops TBH. No kind of seniority) or they just simply love to grab attention.
