This is women's sizing I presume?
 
There is a huge confusion going on with the Men's version of the 2015 release regarding the mudguard being patent leather...

or PVC or whatever the plastic material they used instead of decent genuine leather.

Can anyone confirm this for MEN'S release of the 'OG' cw?

I'm pretty sure it's leather but cheap leather which explains the patent look
 
Serious question for the OG 90 heads here.

A lot of people give me sh* for liking the 2013 'vintaged' OG 90s for looking like c*ap.

But the pictures above is what the OG would be looking like if they were kept deadstock ...

How could people not love the 2013 release? Really curious what people here thinks about that.

The mesh on them looks totally different from the kind that Nike used for years and years on all kinds of AMs, different not in a good way. The 2015s have that same type of mesh. I also remember the mudguard material looking kind of strange, not as flat and smooth as on my HOAs. And the preyellowed midsole also looks s**t.

Also they were one of the first 90s that have this new really narrow shape/look, that didn't help either.

I think the issue is with the idea of this false "aged" look. It's one thing to have a wearable pair of DS kicks, although I doubt many Air max from 1990 are still wearable. I think what people want more is for the shoe to look like it did when they dropped, and as close to OG shape and materials as possible. They can easily do it with every retro, it's just cheaper not to.

THIS!!


But still I'm not even sure if they could ever pull it off again, with all the synthetic materials used I'm sure new machining comes with the process. Just the way things are mass produced now makes me think they could never come close, even if they actually wanted to. :smh:
 
Nice! I'm still trying to snag the denims in size 8 without paying 300+..... Anyone know places still selling denims in size 8 that's not crazy resell eBay prices? Thanks nters

Just keep an eye out on eBay constantly. I just saw a pair earlier this week go for $150 shipped sz 10. I looked up the sold listings and a lot of them ended up under $200
 
I love the OG 90s that dropped in 13, I'd rather get another pair of those than the new ones... might actually just do that :lol:

Your ordered a mens pair. When you goggle the style number mens pairs show up.
 
^^ No prob. I've ordered from SL before. Their shipping isn't too bad. Not too long, I want to say 8-9 days?
