I used to wear my OG pair without the strap. Didn’t really affect performance and I don’t really like straps period so it worked out for me

They look HUGE around the ankle with the straps on to me.

Stop it. Them joints were HEH-VY. I had the OG black/white/red color. Loved them, but id rather play a game in some Timbs.
It's ok to admit you have weak legs.

Haha yeah I remember not being a fan of the NIKE sign on them… isn’t the strap reversible? I kinda remember that about the OG bred pair but not 100% sure

Only used the straps when balling. Felt more secure. Took them off otherwise

Not reversible like flipping it over but you can swap out on each shoe to the other.

OG Maccabi vs Retro comparison. Not much difference to me. Just color & width.

Minor differences aside, they got damn close with the retro’s…This is how JB should be approaching their retro line…

I notice a color difference in the gold. Retros are brighter & ogs are more muted. I like the ogs better in this regard. The zoom air bag is more transparent on the ogs while the retro is a solid color. Last thang i noticed was the ogs are cut higher. You wouldn’t be able to tell unless/until you put both shoes on. And it’s not going to make a difference in the overall performance or comfort of the shoe.
Anything else yall see?

He mentioned in the caption that on pic #5 he labeled the pics wrong so it should be the retro thats higher. But yeah, not much differences. Nike executed fine IMO.

I was young back when I rocked the 4s and I guess you didn’t really care back in those days. Now? Yeah I’d probably pass on them lol

Would wear the 4’s causally… there’s far more superior hoop shoes available these days

4’s are no worse than Foamposite’s…If you get down with one then there’s no reason to skip on the other 
…Plus that hefty insole on the 4’s was next level…

Exactly this. Any Lebron head thats been around since the beginning knows how desirable all the PEs/F&F pairs were. Don't get me wrong id love the OG blk/red and asg pairs, but id much rather have PEs first. The PE 7/8 that dropped were pure magic. Ill be in on those animal 2s no questions asked. For old lebron fans these PE retros are unbelievable.

All In if the Safari’s really do drop. It Was my vote to win that Lebron Watch tournament thing last year.

Had no idea so many people were up on the safari pair…Glad y’all getting them…
They need to keep up with the PE drops but please release colorways like Chamber of Fear’s, home PE’s, and Dunkman’s…Until word drops on these I’m good with the Mac’s and Navy OG’s whenever they eventually release…Have to set my focus on the next upcoming Pebble’s 4’s…

Oh god I forgot about that. The lebron vote thing was worse than the 2000, 2016, and 2020 elections combined. Both the shoes they chose for it and the ones people voted for were mostly trash.

the Safari was not the PE that I would have expected or wanted to drop. so many better colorways.
