Sometimes they will notify you by the SNKRS app but I have the @j23app that notifies me. What you're talking about is exclusive access.

Yeah...I was on the fence...not because I was waiting on details...but because I was *fine* with my 2014 pair. However gettin a look at these now...it might have to happen once they drop. I grabbed Concords easily from SNKRS so I hope that these will be almost as plentiful as they were.

They are it's an All Star Weekend release, should have similar production numbers to the Nike Air 3s last year.

The tongue isn’t high but it still looks wide. That’s just fine with me

Damn Nike couldn't even photo shop the scuff on the toe box out?
I think it's safe to say that certain Jordan models will never be close to OG. Whether its materials, or lasts, or just effort, they'll never get certain models -- like the III -- 100% right. The VI is clearly one of those models. The 2000s were definitely the closest in many ways, but even those weren't perfect. We didn't get the heel contrast that we would like, but we got a subtle contrast. We didn't get the layered ankle pods, but we still got 3M and the proper infrared shade. We'll have to wait until one of the OG collectors does a side by side, but I'm willing to bet the infrared shade on this 2019 version is the closest to the OG we've seen. I'd also be willing to bet that these are the most comfortable VIs since the originals.

These are looking nice. I’m more excited to get these then I was getting Concords. It’s been awhile sense I had a wearable pair of VI’s with NA on them.

These are closer to OG than the 2000 in almost every way. The 2000 had a terrible banana shape, no 3M, a different shade of infrared and were extremely uncomfortable. I had the 2000 and loved them at the time but they were actually a really bad retro. At the time I was just happy to have the chance to own a Jordan 6 for the first time in my life.

It sucks that they keep making the indention so shallow but that seems easier to fix at home than any other error they couldve made.
Also, check out the tongue height...

Indented then. The indent does give them a layered effect. Either way the 2019 still doesn't have it. Which does suck imo. However, they got enough right I'm in for at least 2 pairs.

look at how the three lines of the collar line up with the bottom and hole of the tongue. It absolutely makes more sense design-wise to have the tongue sit lower like that.
