When the light hits it right, the OG created this fade effect. Retro don't do that. Plus the OG lateral clear mesh never yellowed either.

These are basically reimagined, at this point they’re not giving us three straight-up OG colorways in one year. I think the next regular release will have the 23.Would have been the perfect one to bring back the og 23 font for. But nope. Gotta happen with the black tongue FR
It could be the stiff interfacing beneath the fabric. It holds the shape over time but breaks in with more wear.It's crazy how JB is just obsessed with the giant toe bulk in all these releases. Many have said it's the molds, or it's "for new generation style" and so on.
But the OGs were just....not this. The toes especially were flat. It's the same thing release after release. You wear these you look like you are wearing steeltoe boots just like what they did to the 3s for decades (and so on).
I admit certain ones look better but it's ridiculous how many releases JB puts out of just this shoe alone where something always just seems off.
Probably cause the shoe is coming with white laces. That would be my guess.Why are all the early look photos show white laces?

True indeedLooking close to the 2016s
'20 Fire Reds got a better toebox than these. Not by much sure, but it's enough to notice. All they had to do was tweak the overall shape/tooling so that from the top of the collar down to the toe, it'll have that aerodynamic shape that naturally flattens out at the toebox/toe rand. If they'd actually gone the extra mile and cared enough to do that, then outside of the cruddy nubuck, these would have been at least an 8 of even 9/10. Shame to see JB barely try (again)
