Glad they put regular laces in them Curry’s…Pickup post because I haven't seen anyone anywhere with in hand shots yet. Just got them from my UPS man from revolve, two day shipping to NY from California.
Thoughts: I don't think they ever made the '99s in my size 11.5 (can't do 11 comfortably in lows) and I didn't like the vntg retro so I'm geeked to finally have some reverse curries in some way shape or form. For retail, these are cool. They pale in comparison to shape and quality from '99, obviously. I think the color is a little off as well. I never had the '99s but these 2024s appear to have a lighter and more orange hue. Best evidenced by the sole - it's a slightly different shade from the upper, and both a little orange. The leather is decent. Better than pandas, on par with other made in Vietnam dunks in recent years. The sockliner material is plush - not quite satin/sateen but soft to the touch and well cushioned. I think I'm gonna go white laces. On foot tomorrow. edit: they shoulda brought back the black/red box with these
Hopefully they horde one colorway like the first ones (olive brown whatever it was called) and stick to that and leave the rest for us
Yeah for sure there will be many to come, eventually so many that they will hit discount I’m sure least that’s how it seemed to go with the first ones
This model reminds of what Nike tried to do in the 90s but just couldn’t get it right. It’s a beautiful sneaker.

It's a mixed bag. The leather is plasticky, but it's soft and pliable so it's comfy on foot. No stiff or funky creases that dug into my foot. Thicker, more rugged leather would be better quality and break in better for sure, but I'm not mad at out the box comfort at retail cost. Best comparison to another sneaker I own is 2015 UNC 1. These are slightly thicker than UNC and not as pliable.
This picture makes those reds looks super good it’s a hard choice between the 2 but guess that means easier to cop either or

Best non dunk sb in a while. Patiently waiting for an on foot image of these
