Tongue looks funky for sure and short but w/e .. I hope it angers everyone enough to get them for the low.

Favorite 5 colorway here. I passed on the Black Metallics due to the tongue. These still look really good though.

Hate to say it but this tongue appears to be identical to blk/metallics

LOL. Been a long day. See the previous page in the thread for my thoughts already posted. My only issue (from what we've seen so far) is that tongue. Now it looks misshapen and too low. The actual finish/3M on it is annoying, too. But OK, whatever. That shape and height of the tongue, though? Eeeesh. No idea what is happening over there at the moment. But maybe it's just one pair.

You think? To me it looks way lower and the shape is off. ****, from that video, now I'd be happy with the black/metallic tongue

Yeah, it looks like they jacked up the tongue. JB can do things right and they’re not. It’s pissing me off. I’ll be in my 80’s before they finally get it right...and then I won’t even care. Stupid people.

Oh NOW we're both gonna be 100 years old
Nah, I am getting these. One pair, like I said before. But I'm beyond done buying crap I don't have time to wear, anyway, unless it is done right. You know what I mean LOL

I‘m getting at least one pair because I don’t have time to keep passing until they get them right...if they ever do...but I’m thinking they never will. They just don’t care about giving us correct quality and build anymore, they just want to milk people for profit margin. Sad.

I appreciate the attempt by JB and I hope this pushes someone to unload their 1990 pair for a good price on ebay.

Agree, that tongue is trash...
BUT I’m on the wrong side of my 30’s y’all...I’m in for the wear...Getting too old to be picky...This was my first Jordan sneaker so I may have gotten myself too hyped...
