On closer examination, I realized that although the stitching, glue, etc. are all flawless, there's major symmetry issues between the two shoes that I find extremely irritating now that I notice it.  First, the toe box is much wider on the right shoe that the left; probably at least 0.5cm.  the pic isn't that great (first one) as it looks like it might just be the camera angle, but it's not.  You can also see that the toe wraps up higher on the left than the right.  Overall, the left shoe is a much nicer shape. 

Very noticeable in the 2nd pic is space from the midsole.  The speckles are also a different density, but not that bad....It's these general shape issues that are really bad.  With the shoe in hand you can also see that the tongue space between the toe box and the laces is also longer on the right shoe.  It's as though the two lines working on the left and right show were working from completely different design specs/molds.

Hopefully over time I'll forget these details (unlikely!)...or at least enough that when I look down it won't irritate me like it currently does.  I know they're made in China, etc., but for remastered workmanship, and the overall quality of every other aspect of the shoe, I expect the shape to at least have much better symmetry....

I've noticed toe box shape/symmetry issues on other shoes I have, including retro Jordans and Air Max, however, this seems more than usual, and given how much I love this overall shoe, I'm a little disappointed.  If they were in stock, I'd take them back and search for a better matching pair....oh well....Still the best retro Jordan pickup ever for me.....I guess I can't expect perfection....

My left shoes speckle-to-Oreo ratio is 17% greater than my right shoe when my foot is slanted at a 30 degree angle. Lmao [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
It's as simple as I don't like looking down at my shoes and seeing different shapes. Looks like most people don't see that detail or care.

At least it was a good laugh for you all...!

Your left and right feet aren't the same either. Does that bother you so also?

Personally, my pairs don't crease the same due to that so who cares if they aren't identical at that point?
 
Dam, just wore my Oreos out in the cold, the leather change it's form by the bottom of tongue
