I haven't played ball since High School, I am a wood-pusher; I'll ask a few of my friends what they wear on the black top.

Those were an AJ Xs that fell apart, coincidence?

My friend just showed me a link about that last night. I did not read the blog but I told him: "if NIKE is making the materials better and charging a little more for the pair, I'd rather keep my OGs and just keep replacing the midsoles if it blows, LOL!" Anyway, my AJ 4s quality(particularly the 4 Retro + that were released in 1999/2000) I think has the best, better than any that came out these past three years. If the remastered is similar to or the same as my OG IV Oreos not like the currently used stiff material, then I may be inclined to a purchase.
But seriously, just as any Jordan shoes that came out this year, with the added PREMIUM label on the box it surely will not make the purchase easier for a common person just to get a pair. The resellers kills it even with the increased retail price tag; look at the recent AJ 3 '5LAB3' release that sold for $225. Even the 'B-Grade' shoes that ends up in the NIKE Outlet Stores get bought out. I could also imagine what a monumental task is involved to produce, store, and move 20,000 pairs of one particular shoe amongst the other pairs NIKE manufactures at one time.
Only if there's such a "rain-check" program... Or have a hook up in the Philippines, my buddy seem to always get a pair of AJs easily in NIKE Store there on every release. May be because he's a size 14 and the small sizes always make it out of the store.
