For me the BBs and the 90s are quite similar. BBs are definitely noticeable softer, but BBs are too far off. Really hoping these 180s are on the softer side!
The Red BBs? Unlike standard 1s, my Red BBs have a lot of give/cushion and give me that OG feeling when Air used to be the best cushion available back then.
Anxiously waiting to hear where these were acquired!
This is how releases used to be. Release day required some work, but wasn't impossible to hit. Otherwise there'd be restocks throughout the day, and Monday morning always had links to easily purchase. Hope this continues!
Can't wait for this release, even more than the Military 4s.....maybe b/c I hit on the SD for those or b/c I have a closet full of 4s. Really hoping these are as comfy as they appear to be and hit like the BB 1s and the Infrared AM90s from '20. Hope they're an easy cop.
Attempt number 10 ;-)....Anyone want to trade or sell me your blue laces? I don't like the look of the red. The after market blue laces don't come close to matching this color, or at least I haven't found one that could look close. Anyone? Thanks!
That may very well be true, but the pics above don't support that premise....wing height is damn near identical, and the upper collar looks within millimeters. I have no horse in this game.....Just an objective observation.
What are you talking about? They look damn near the same height, and '24s even look slightly taller in some angles. The toe box shape is quite different, but otherwise it's pretty freak'n close; whole shoe is as close as they've ever gotten.
Agreed; mine fit perfect. It takes some time to break-in the midsole, but no real complaints. Actually like the fit much better than the '16 space jams/black concord PEs; those always felt too bulky and clunky to me. Looked great, but never enjoyed wearing them and recently got rid of them.
I don't know...look at some of these vintage images; swoosh doesn't look like anything special....largely the same as we're seeing for this release, no?

Thanks for pulling those pics. Seems like an important and super easy detail if they're trying to match OG. Personally think the grey is better. So is Nike confused over what was actually OG, or were they grey and Nike just wants to make these less than 100% to make sure they have something...
I'm not a 180 expert, but the shape is looking pretty good on these. Thoughts? Wish this was the shock drop. 5/24...a Friday launch....hmm....I'm good with that.
It's a damn shame they don't make all 4s as comfortable as the SBs. I'd replace all of my 4s with the same colorway to get that comfort, or even better use modern super foams (without changing the look)...call it remastered reimagined retro protro ultra plus premium campaign ;-).
That was always my understanding, but now when I pull up OG/Vintage pics where the wings haven't yellowed, they do look white. There's only an apparent contrast b/c the leather is not white, but off-white.
For this release the blue in most pics is way darker than reality; in hand, without...
