    wonder if they would ever retro the socks they wore with them back in the day? Just above the ankle with NIKE in block lettering across the front.

    yeah that navy (if that's the color) is not bad, but I think I'm good on them.

    I just want the cobalts.

    I already have like 2-3 different retro's of the blk/grey's too so I'm good on those now.

    Patiently waiting on those cobalts. Those Don C Michigan shorts are awful.

    Wow... really... they had one job.

    Man I truly cannot understand this company sometimes.

    Why deviate from the OG looks and colorblocking.

    Turrible.

    I'm not buying either... I'm tired of settling for "good enough".

    Looks like the ankle color splatter finally returns. It the color of the tongue changed to all black...not a great look against the white laces. It allows them to use the same materials for the black/gray one during this product run.

    You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me! The tongue and strap look like a pleather material. Toe cap should be half Cobalt.

    :smh:. They should have just went all the way and made it vac tech to insult us even more. I hope that's not the final product. Even if they had it right, they probably would have sat long enough for those who truly appreciate this shoe to get our pair.

    Don't give NSW any bright ideas :lol:
    I'm still tight after what they did to the Air Up's :smh:
    (I'll be honest I still purchased a pair of Orlando Air Ups when they hit $35 at my outlet....nostalgia got the best of me)

    I'll hold off till we see retail pairs, but I'm not holding my breath with NSW.
    Just be a conscious shopper. Speak with your dollars.

    Billy’s images don’t seem to match (the cobalt toe actually looks photoshopped): 05C58F2B-A0F0-4B6A-8023-8387EC91B241.jpeg C19EB30F-218C-480D-B51E-7BA20D9ABD35.jpeg 42C3935F-9D32-4AFA-B078-9A2D3646BC9A.jpeg DANG, just noticed the outsole at the toe is missing the coloration! Even the black hyper fuse version featured that detail...I was hoping these were the kids sizes but the CM conversion says otherwise. My OG pair will keep crumbling away as a relic...

    I'm so annoyed by Nike and the disrespect of classic retroes and then they wonder why they sit

    You can tell they have a bunch of people who don't care about their past history in lifestyle.

    Why is this so hard for Nike? I really find it hard to believe that they can’t replicate their own past products.

    The OG toe cap was actually half cobalt, half black.

    I honestly think that this is one of those instances where the full Cobalt toe cap looks better than the half Cobalt OG or not.
