I find that impossible to believe.

i do agree that the higher price on these Jordans is because of the bling factor. i wasnt arguing that. i was stating my personal experience with higher end athletic shoes and how they actually benefit me.
i dont even wear them for bling...i wouldnt be caught dead in a jersey and matching kicks. hell, i rarely wear them outside of the gym or the basketball court.

most i've spent on athletic shoes is $90. Bought them like 6 years ago and just wore them yesterday (only wear them once in a while). Still getting my moneys worth. :eek3:
I never really liked Jordan's. I always wore the Reebok Black Tops back in the day.

well...most jordans w/ the gucci pattern are usually fake. can u take pics of the waaay inside (sole) cuz if there's a jumpman symbol there, its real or on the toungue there should be a size chart.
:dunno: i kno my jordans and i kno usually how to tell fakes from authentics/retros
