BOOTLEGS WAS NEVER HOT
Dont think i forgot that sucker ass "MIKE MAN" conversation from like 06 nikka
nikka,..i am in chicago.
you in michigan trying to hop on our trend, when it comes to jordan's.
when retro's was out.
nikkaz were not cop'n them like that in chicago.
as they were made from inferior materials than og's.
og's if you tried hard enough you probably could have copped any og deadstocked jordan when you liked.
when the jordan boom came again,..
retro's did not have traction because people in the chi.
were cop'n og replica's or bootlegs.
this went on for a while till about o6.
you just in michigan. where you are latching on to chicago swag jordan wise.
so to feel official,..you need to have a pair of authentic mike's all the time.
in chicago,..you used to be able to hit the road and find any retro or og jordan, period.
till the new mike jordan collector boom happened.
which cut out just getting deadstocked mike's out of any shoe store if you looked hard enough.
which is why bootlegs got popular in the chi for a short time period of about two three years here.
as people wanted the ability to easily cop jordan's in any all colorways.
the way you used to before this new jordan shoe collector boom.
it wasn't till nike and jordan brand.
saw the slash in profits, from retro's of jordan's and air force one's.
did he finally redesign the shoes with better streamlined bootcuts and materials.
which incorporated and made better the og bootleg boot cuts and amalgamted designs and materials as well.
which made og bootleg's of jordan's and air force one's obsolete.
so nikkaz in the chi stopped selling mass amounts of og jordan bootleg's and afi's.
so, now it is not a mikeman on every corner or mobile who sells bootlegs.
you just not in the chi.
where jordan's were made popular so you do not know.
bootleg's served their purposes,...like nikkaz will hoop in bootleg's and have a real pair, just like it i see it all the time,..you just in michigan.
so you are latching onto the jordan. which is a chicago trend.
i know so because you can not tell me.
the original real retail price of what a real pair of og air/sky jordan i's used to cost when originally released.
as i know michigan was not up on jordan's originally like that as a vanity shoe.
so,..stfu, gizzle!!
jordan's is a chicago trend the rest of the world latched on to.
originally nikkaz was not on jordan's like that.
