Seriously, how can you dudes say this is normal and nice looking to the eye. You’re delusional.

You can't say this when you were in the Carmine thread caping for the pink midsoles
You definitely pick and chose which OG aspects bother you, same as everyone else on this site.

These 85s are meant to be beat, we forget that these sneakers get better over time. I’m curious to see how my wears age the sneaker. Here’s some wear update on mine.

Na na, I didn’t trash the pink Carmines and then turn around and buy blue tinted tongue NGs. We know who that was, homie.You can't say this when you were in the Carmine thread caping for the pink midsoles

90% of JB retros are jacked up.”That shape is not it.”
They jacked up the high more than the low. Both are essentially jacked up.

recent OGs that have sh*t details:
-black cement 3 (too high elephant print, no slanted toe, tongue not the proper details)
-banned 1 (tumbled leather when it shouldn’t be, not OG shape, glitter)
-infrared 6 (improper materials, tongue not high enough)
-carmine 6 (garbage leather, side perforated ankle collar is way too small, pink midsoles)
-true blue 3 (garbage shape, garbage leather, too high elephant print)
-black cement 4 (steel toe, ankle height too low, improper materials, shin guard paper thin tongues)
the list can go on and on. Essential all retros are inferior. But again, to bag the crap out of these is quite funny.

I bag these because they are not what they claim to be, and the slurping of them is hilarious. Just like the XI, people will realize it when they finally bring out a true looking ’85 retro. Then people will be backtracking like they now do with the XI. Right,

Nostalgia gets the best of us. I just can’t understand the constant bickering over these when 90%+ retros are necked up crap.

2008-2015 11s agreed. 2016 and on they got way better similar to the 2000/2001 and 2006 dmps.I bag these because they are not what they claim to be, and the slurping of them is hilarious.

To me this is more or less all we are getting in closeness to the 85 1s. All previously 1s had the wrong midsole tooling materials etc. I’ll take what I can get and these are better that all the OG High rainbow crap JB steadily puts out that the common folk seeth over

To me it’s a deformed looking put together wannabe ‘85. They can do better and they SHOULD do better. I’m sure one of these days you will see what I mean. It’s too bad they don’t care as much as some of us do. But the NTers who point these things out take the arrows. We are known as complainers. However, when JB gets the product right because of so called complainers, we all win. They just need to do their job properly and care about their legacy.2008-2015 11s agreed. 2016 and on they got way better similar to the 2000/2001 and 2006 dmps.

I agree with this wholeheartedly but for me and the NG pairs I have I am satisfied far more than owning the junk OG High crap they put out. I get it, I preached on here for a while about 11s needing higher patent and a slanted toe, 3s needing lower elephant and a wrapped tongue, 4s needing a slanted toe, shorter tongues with thicker padding and higher ankle collars. They yet to get the majority of retros right.
I’ll be the first one to point out mass flaws on 3/4/5/6 retros and rain on parades just because tbey haven’t been retroed in 20 plus years but I stand firm that these NG are pretty good. My main gripe is the colour of grey is too light....
I understand your arguments I really do. But to bad on these, come on, I don’t know what current retros you enjoy but those too I’m sure are jaded in the eyes of many. Unless you only buy OGs to look at since most aren’t wearable.

Maybe I’m out to lunch but I think my pairs look fantastic:

Hell I’ve held a few 85/94 1s that are warped and banana toe shaped beyond belief. The narrative that OGs didn’t have flaws or bad batches is also crqzy.

They look amazing, as long as you like em, that's all that matters.
Can you elaborate on the Black Infrared 6s having the wrong material though? I liked the durabuck they use.
