OG Nike Air Jordan III Retro True Blue BLACK FRIDAY '16

I just got my TB pair, thought I'd post pics of them with my WC 88s:

View media item 2288442I am by no means an expert but what jumps out at me is the TB lacking in leather quality, tongue doesn't seem as nice as 88s and thicker EP on TB as discussed. Cut seems a bit different as well, overall feeling 88s much better. I think TB only for die hard 3 lovers, causal fans should pass.
You have a pair from 88? Dayum! Repped
 
finally bought the TB's from FInishline since i got $35, figured I'd sell my old pair (the 2011 release) to help pay for em, but the right shoe feels really tight on me. 3's have always fit great for me. Has anyone else had issues with these running small? I'm a 12, so finding a 12.5 is nearly impossible. I might just return em :/ Or do you guys think maybe it's just this specific pair? Maybe I could try on a different size 12

Besides the cw itself the 88s look no better to me here. I'm assuming the OGs TBs did not have a tumbled leather toungue so that would explain that difference. Honestly the 16' TBs just look better than those 88s in these particular pics. Just my opinion and observation though.

These do run a little small. Ordered a 12 ( white cement ivs i wear a 12 just fine) but sent them back to Nike to exchange them for a 12.5
