The Air Jordan XV OG Black/Red returns Spring 2017

Here are some comparison pics of my 07's and 17's. I'll let you guys figure out which pair is which.

All in all; I prefer the 07' model to the 17'. The 2017 doesn't have the same fitting as the 07'.

The 2017 booty is a lot less looser than the 07' is. The 07' actually feels like it hugs your foot - and the forefront zoom air is much more apparent in the 07's - which we're always my favorite thing about the 15. The 2017's lacks that particular 'hugging' feel, only except they feel tighter - but ultimately I think the sizing aspect has changed on the 17's.

The quality of both the leather and upper woven feel almost identical, with a few exceptions. The 'stealth' part on the 17' isn't really stealth, it's just an anthracite grey that just doesn't blend in with the shoe to me as much as the stealth does on the 07's and OG's.

Good points! I realized the stealth (arch area) isnt right haha there u pointed it out. I guess the fitting is similar to the latest retro Xs. Its totally differ then the og. Never own the retro. Midsole is more thicker n overall the materials that also applies to all remastered that they used is much harder n thicker in quality. however, I like what they do to the remastered:8,9,13 n 14 so far.

This picture explains why I like the 07 version better.. The shape of the shoe was waaay truer on that pair. The 2017 is this weird flat sleek shape.. JB always finds a way to drop the ball but theyre nice nonetheless. I would hunt for an 07 pair but they are hard to find at this point and I have the 17 version already.
Wow. Seems the exact opposite to me. The 07 is far more bulky than the OG, and the '17 is sleek like the OG. I have all three release in hand to compare and it seems obvious to me, shrug.
 
@RipCityThree i received my pair from Centre today. I ordered them Saturday night. I live in Kansas.
huh weird I ordered Saturday night as well get the order conf. email that night and then received the shipping conf. email Tuesday. I've checked the tracker on usps using tracking number and yesterday it updated to say in transit and delivery date is 1-12-17 but then today no arrival and no new updates or package scans on usps? I live in Oregon.
 
Bought yesterday afternoon from CityBlue but didn't get hit with a shipping confirmation today.

if it doesn't update tomorrow then I'd probably try to call usps and see if they can provide an update. I've had several experiences where the tracking updates are delayed online. Hope you get them soon.

thanks for the info/advice @sip24 . Repped! Curious how they come from centre, were yours double boxed and or bubble wrap etc?

The inches of snow are not helping either. All backed up I'm sure.

They were double boxed and that was basically it. No bubble wrap or anything extra but the shoe box still came in perfect condition.
 
Anyone who ordered off centre214 receive there [emoji]127824[/emoji] yet? Received shipping conf. And then yesterday it said estimated delivery date was 1-12-17(today) but mine still says "In transit" on usps website and didn't come today?

I got shipment confirmation on Tuesday with a delivery date of Friday but they ddnt move until Wednesday & my expected delivery date is now Saturday....my pair was shipped FedEx btw

Take it easy

.. I'm fine with the possibility of me being wrong because I did not own OG's but I was 15 when they dropped so my memory is pretty good.. idk.. that's just how I remember them. But again.. maybe I'm wrong. Im going to search the thread.. there were a few comparison vids posted but Im not sure if one was of the OG.
 
This box was huge like the XII box.

I like these. I wish they had a higher leather cut, but they're still nice. I'm happy to get these at $130.

I don't know if I like Jordan XIX's enough to get those to complete my series though :lol:

I just got a cancellation email from City Blue saying they had insufficient stock.

Honestly not even mad.

Appreciate those spreading the deal hookups in here.

Edit: they sent me a $20 giftcard as well I guess as an apology. Solid CS on their part.

that's good CS unlike some other places. I think it's just a matter of time before you find a similar deal or an even better deal assuming you'll still want them.

With word breaking about an impending AZG retro I was thinking should not have bought those XVs on impulse so if the price is right next time around we will see what it do.

Got my eyes on those Royal Foamposites later this month and the XIII release next month.
 
If you half size up on these, they're extremely comfortable. The back is a little clunky but they feel great in the forefoot. You could actually feel the zoom air while walking.

I've been hearing a lot about folks sizing up on these. Maybe because I have skinny ankles but I got my TTS (10.5) and they feel really long (look at my Achilles area). I'm hesitant to size down because they are on the narrow size. Last time I remember sizing down was for the 4's back in 2012.

I would prolly just wear thicker socks. If yu sized down they would prolly fit too tight in the toe area
