That’s how you know Gentry is in charge. MF’er is giving us crazy colorways and a patent leather bukkake.
Damn. Yeah it was announced he was taking over JB again around this timeframe. I’m kind of mind blown by this lol.

Now I’m super eager to see what gimmick those ‘New Beginnings‘ joints are going to come with.
 
That first pic was a size 11 direct from ndc, here is pic of an 11 from stockx.. Otherwise, they both look identical to me. I don't think there is anything to worry about since this shoe was not that limited or even desirable.

Doubt even them factories wanted to make fakes of these monstrosities lol

i had the opportunity to snap a photo of my chicagos. dont have the 2015s (the price is too steep for me as i have other responsibilities and buying a pair might cost me one month of my salary lol) so i'll try my best to cop a pair of chicagos next year haha

My pair is from Vietnam. No issues I can see other then the R's and seller said he got them from snkrs but never seen a snkrs pair with a sticker on the box before.

Only thing I dont get about that klekt review is the wings logo part. Are your wings logos actually smooth?

Na that's how they suppose to be, the Vietnam pair had that Jumpman on the lace bag, China pairs did not.

I was talking about on the box lid sticker but not a big deal just something I noticed that I've never noticed before. Appreciate the feedback
 
Just realized the last OG colorway we got was Shadows, smh.
That’s crazy. Never really thought about it. And instead we keep getting weird remixes of OGs we really want (I’m looking at you Pandas). But this rumored 85/New Beginnings/Remastered/whatever it’s called program, might change some of that.

That "New Beginnings" name worries me :lol:

Nope mine is embossed and I have 3 100% legit China pairs...

I never saw that sticker before but I bought used Lettermans last week and they came in box with almost identiacal sticker just more information on it, there was also GOAT pamphlet in the box but I think that is not related...

My guess is that it is sticker of some retailer like Offspring UK has on their boxes
 
That’s because they aren’t SBBs, y’all just got fooled into thinking they were.
I thought the SBB label was just another “gimmick”? They’re AJ1s in a different orange-colorblocking. The only people who were “fooled” were people who only bought the other SBBs because they had a story behind it and a different insole, which these did not. And the people constantly reminding themselves that this is not a “SBB” by still posting that fact on NT and reddit are pathetic lol.

These are so clearly and obviously SBBs that it’s not funny, but obviously there’s always going to be a contingent of people who say they’re not, so whatever.

But let’s be real...if they weren’t atrocious, and they turned out to be dope and what everyone was hoping for (Orange/Black in Blk/Red color blocking using NORMAL LEATHER), NO ONE would be trying to defend the notion that they are somehow not SBBs. Insole or not, being called SBB or not by Nike/JB officially, all those that keep saying they’re not SBB wouldn’t be saying so. But most don’t like them, they don’t have the same love/admiration/hype surrounding them, and most don’t like what they did to them (in particular the leather), so many keep trying to explain them away as NOT being SBBs.
