i didn't start getting into Jordans till the og XI's, but i prefer the rounder toe box (not steel boot toe, but you get what i mean). just personal preference, not a fact. i can only speak for myself, but comparing the remastered cement 4 vs the og shape; i prefer the remastered. the og looks too much like a wedge to me. i was too young to care or remember anything about the 3s or the 4s.
I feel like people are saying this about those 4's because of that pic but you guys don't realize that they're unlaced and the 2016s are choking.
When chipped nikebuck/durabuck is stripped with a knife, and then painted up. It's a common restoration technique.
I don't see how making the elephant print rise up on the retros makes them cheaper than the OGs. And the thin elephant print is a comment about aesthetics not about perceived fit. In fact, most if the comments against OGs are about aesthetics. I'm glad people aren't praising the OGs anymore, it's redundant. You can't even trust half of these comments about got from those who had the OG shoes from 25+ years ago. You mean to tell me you can remember what the material felt like and exactly how the shoe fit?
Material wise, besides the pleather epidemic during Gentry's reign, the materials are of comparable quality. The remaster put in work too, we aren't getting Sport Blue 6 leather again.
That doesn't work on the 5', definately an all jumpman lacelock.
they aren't official but I bet they'll still come with red insoles
Still a early pair
I'd be down for red insoles and red Jumpman on the bottom.
