Every once in a while the Retro AZG pops up on eBay reminding us what it would be like if the first LeBron sneaker was retro’ed. I just really hope that once Nike decides to “refresh” the Air Zoom Generation they won’t forget about this special colorway. Fans seem to like it too, cause every time they go on sale on the black market they fetch up to one thousand bucks (this time it was $800). Of course utilizing House of Hoops, which wasn’t around back in the day, might be a good idea for some nice energy releases. After all we only got 5 AZG’s including the limited “First Game.” I wonder how would that work. What’s your take? 2006 was definitely too soon, but do you think now it’s time for the first LeBron retro?

i wanted that exact pair so bad...to bad they went for 800+....oh well maybe another will pop-up sometime....
i like the Christmas day AZG more, but the camo's are too nice
Yea, these are siick, and Tomas what Christmas Day AZG?? Do you mean the Playoff AZG thats Black, or the Olympic ones? Awesome shoes anyway. GO CAVS!
too early for a lebron retro. I think they gotta go for another 2 or 3 years before they retro. They gotta continue to prove that the brand is great. This year was def. monumental for that cuz of the 6. They gotta build up the hype a little more.
As for these... it's a Hummer inspired design so this CW is a HOMERUN for sure! Time to retro? As much as I love the purity of the AZG... I gotta agree with AKOO that it should be a few years yet. Maybe not the 10 year mark but I could see that being a monumental time to bust it out!?!?
way too soon to start with the retro. give it a few more years.
They look alright, but what's up with the camo Soldier 1's? Those were NICE!!!
I also think its too early for the retro but from a collectors POV, a retro would push the value up of "OG" AZGs.....
