I am always searching for whats in my closet from like 95 that i still have in 10/10 condition and always come across OG Jordans that make me question, "when are they going to retro these"? I love the Retro's because they allow me to keep the OG's locked away. I see the team at Nice Kicks had the same question and provided a recap of a few J's that took forever to come back. Enjoy!
"Be back soon? Not always. While the pace of retros has hit an all-time high, some OG Jordans still took their sweet time. While absence makes the heart grow fonder and hype makes the lines grow longer, we were definitely glad to see all these return. We count down the ten longest waits and also call for five more slowpokes to come out of retirement. Just how long did it take for some OG Jordans to retro? Read on to find out." - Nicekicks.com
Air Jordan 6 “Sport Blue”

What’s the deal with these? Since it’s original release, the Air Jordan 6 has seen two proper retro runs. This non-Bulls colorway takes the cake as the most overdue Jordan. The “Maroon” pair is also requested.

We’ll gladly buy the Navy or Chutney colorway, just make sure it’s 3M and suede.
