The lower mockup resembles the previous "tuxedo" release and early sample (sans red bottom)...heard perhaps that OG sample may be released as the full-height version by end of next year.
They need to release these on June 5 but 2026 is technically a milestone anniversary (1996).
*quick adjustments to the reference images for clarity of shoe collar, depicts 5 bands on the side of the cordura vs the regular 6 bands on the higher cut pairs and all black carbon fiber vs white/black.
I expect to see shoes-only listings (sellers keeping the case) before the fakes hit…wonder what the price will reflect and how muddy the waters will get when the fakes take hold?
