Got a question.
I own a pair of OG powder x's and have for a while, my mate recently picked up a pair and we noticed 1 difference. On my pair at the heel both my jumpman are facing too the left, like ogs. His has the left facing too the right and on the right shoe the jumpman is facing the left. Both are def 20 yrs old going by smell n feel. Was there 2 releases? We are stumped.
 
Let me do my David Blaine impression...

Your pair were made in Taiwan ...your friends pair were made in Korea?

The OG Xs had three production countries, and the Jumpman logos faced direction accordingly...

Tawain <<

Korea ><

China <>

The general release colorways (Steels, Powders, Shadows) were made in all three countries.

As far as I can remember, the City series were made in Taiwan only (but possibly Korea as well)

All retro Xs have been made in China and face to the right >>
I've heard some people say otherwise and say they maybe have a pair of Xs made in Korea that face << for example ...but when asked to post a pic for proof they couldn't.
