They'll get the color right this time I'm sure. JB remaster isn't 100% accurate but they're actually trying now. I really hope we get metal instead of plastic on these.

I'm hoping the OG colors will have that added touch. Not holding my breath though. They actually used metal instead of plastic on the 13 lows this year didn't they?

Tbh that's that thing I care about the most is the shade of red used. I need something close to the OG red for me to cop. The shade of red used on the '09 pair is a travesty
 
They better fix that damn outsole. My 2009 pair started oxidizing about a year after I bought them. If you go on ebay right now, the DS pairs are oxidized as if the shoe is 20 years old. **** is wack
 
Dang, y'all really got me worried now. JB been wooing and finessing us this year with good leather on some retros. While good leather will be nice on these, since everyone's so interested in the leather, they may skip out on the padding of the upper!! On the OGs and 2003 versions, the padding around the upper was very apparent, it looked as if the leather was bulging through the seems. 

But the 2015 pair, "The Master" 12s look at the stitching seems along the upper. It looks flat like retros 2009 retros. I had the White/ Red Ogs The padding made the OGs feel like pillows on your feet. 

WHile yall may hit me with the "why you complaining" comment, I like my shoes to have decent cushioning and comfort not just nice leather.

If that's the final version of the master 12s

I'm passing on those and the Flu Games

Looking like some Regular Quality Knockoffs

I thought the Jumpman was near the heel. Maybe I'm just getting old. Did the OG lows have plastic too?

ooh...you mean the jumpman logo. i thought you were saying the eyelet were metal. my bad. 

@jaylaw15  i'm okay with the paddings on the sides. they do need more padding for the top of the tongue. the taxis had almost no padding and the folded edge of the tongue digs into the ankle when you lace it to the second loop if you play ball in them.

box looks good. 

same here, pretty much expect these remastered 12s to look and feel like the 2003s.

And yet they refuse to remaster an xi and flip that jumpman around. The games they play

I think they will. The OG colors have all been done true to form minus shape. The 72-10 not being a original, I didn't expect the full remastered treatment. Mainly the flipped jump man. Let's see what happens going forward.
 
The Chicago 10s from this year sho nuff had both jumpmans facing the same direction. But then again JB might still fix the XIs; I' awaiting the "Why is the jumpman facing the wrong way?" comments from the newbs

they'll do it and smack us with $240-250 price tag. just wait and watch... 

if anyone fail to notice they called the 72-10 "three-quarter" which most likely is used to setting up the future release when they retro a true OG remastered with the correct jumpman, higher PL cut, and screen printed 23.

They're probably not going to raise the price anymore my friend, other original shoes like the Reebok Kamikazes and CB '94 have been the same prices since their original release.  The only reasons JB/Nike keeps raising the price is because of the so called "remastered" gimmick and the resellers.  Inflation is a small factor but doesn't cost a price increase that enormous.

Also the put the "three-quarter" because that's the height of the shoe (considered as a mid top)

Nike/JB keeps raising the price because they know people will keep buying it for the most part and see how much money was made in the aftermarket for retros. Can't do that with other retros from Nike like the JB retros from 2012-2014

And I don't think we are gonna see a price increase going into next year we would've seen something about it on the retros coming out by now I'm sure. Although I'm sure if they were to increase the price of retros it would be during the holiday season
