      Hey everyone! question for you! Have you ever accepted Jesus as your personal savior from your sins? Please let me explain real quick... Jesus died for you! We have all sinned and our sins required a blood sacrifice, so God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to earth to die for our sins and make the sacrifice for our sins so we wouldn't have to! Jesus died for our sins, but He rose again from the dead and beat death! Our sins doom us to hell, but Jesus died so we could be saved! We must repent of our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ! Will you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Call out to Jesus today and ask Jesus to forgive your sins and save your soul!
      Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

      Actually it's the shoes, not the testers. Nike uses different, stiffer PU for retro midsole on jordans rn than they did back then. The shoes were legitimately better leather and better PU midsoles back then. Wish I could have been there and into shoes at the time and felt og fresh PU jordans but time is a vicious mistress

      Most retros use a very hard polyurethane foam in the midsole. It's meant to keep its shape without the creasing lines you see on softer midsoles that are actually comfortable.
      This is what happens when fashion concerns overtake function.
