Is the leather quality comparable to the Olympic VII FTLOTG? Those are a bit rigid, but my pair is holding up very well. Hardly any signs of wear. The White/Infrareds are similar in quality, too.

my friends didnt cop, they like X and above, they not old enough lol, guess i like a "bulky shoe" models 3-8 are collectively my first faves, THEN 11-16( 15 were garbage)
just love seeing the evolution from jordan to jordan

i have (worn them all day) & feel the midsole is fine
but, somehow, even with the shoes fitting slightly bigger or longer,
my toes are cramped up in the narrow toe box, ha ha
i would not size down (that might make for a very uncomfortable wear)
on these, better to have a liitle extra room than a tight fit in my opinion
toe box pleather feels like cdp 2 or 07 fire red 3, uh huh it's true
the ankle & tongue have zero padding, but the collar is cut higher, i do like that
overall - slightly more comfy than the miltary blue 4 retro, even though the leather
is slightly cheaper if that makes any sense
the shape is better i guess

Yeah I remember my toes being slightly cramped up when I first got the mars, that's why I stayed with my normal size

All the complaining about shoes creasing got y'all this new material.
The shoes are leather, and a good quality leather.
Nike/JB has obviously developed a process to "cure" the leather to make it more "durable(durabuck)"
Personally never had a major issue with 4s creasing, but I don't wear them everyday all day either.

Trying to be cool by sticking with this "JB did is dirty, let's not get fooled" only goes so far kid. This is a really solid release.

This Release Got Cats Around The Country Actin' FOUL
That Being Said, I Was Fortunate Enough To Have A Homie Hold Me Down On My Pair..... Went Out Early This Morn To Try For #2 But The Local Spot I Was At Sold Out Of Popular Sizes By The 8th Person In Line
In Comparison To Past Releases, These New IV's MOS DEF Run A Tad Bit Big IMO..... Ended Up Settling On A 9.5 To Compensate For The Sizing Difference From These And My Size 10 '99s. As Mentioned By Some, The Leather On These Definitely Has More Of A "Plastic" Feel To It, And The Shoe Does Wear Stiff! Hoping That These Will Break In Over Time With A Few Wears. Lastly, Did Anyone Else Notice The Factory Lace Job On These? At First I Thought I Had Purchased A Pair That Someone Had Already Tried On Because The Shoes Were Tied In Normal Lacing Fashion From The Factory Itself It Seems
All In All, Pleased With The Turn Out On These And To Have A Crisp Pair Of Cements On Hand Again
Some Comparison Shots Of '89's --->'99's ---> 2012's...... ENJOY!

Also, I believe the 2012 version is close to OG but still distinct as a retro.

I think you should wait, Zyzz. I personally wouldn't pay more than $240 for them. The price will level off the rest of the year, and then will increase by next year.

okay kid, the only thing solid about this release was the hype imo.
and good quality leather that has been made more durable? cmon man, good leather is durable enough without having to go through an extra process to make it durabuck. and does good leather smell how this shoe does?
to each his own though. if you feel like you got your moneys worth then thats you.
BTW i dont feel like jb did us dirty; we make the choice to buy the product or pass.
