Ok, just making sure you’re still psyched for these. Your absence had me concerned.

This is one of the rare instances when we’re getting a first retro so long after the OG that the differences are far more glaring and obvious. We’ve ONLY seen these with proper full-grain leather and a slim toe for the last 25 years, so the the split-grain leather and bulbous toe are more apparent. Most Jordan retros are way off from the OG, but they’ve transitioned there, while these make one jump.I don't even care about the shape on these. I hope it's just terrible pics, but why the hell are they so shiny? It's so bad in those pics, it almost makes the nubuck panels clash with the leather. It's really, really weird to me.
Fire the lighting person babyIt’s the lighting boys, always is
Let me know.Looks like the same type of leather they used on the cement pair that came out last year…I’m good with that…
You’ll get Cool Grey’s. Don’t be dumb.I’m on some rare PTO time in northern Michigan. But I haven’t had much to say lately, as 2021 is turning out pretty low-key for me, as I expected. AMMs are the only thing I’ve gone HAM on this year. In for probably four pairs of these and that’s my year. Not even sure I’ll get cool greys. Probably will but won’t really care if not. Just want one pair, for once LOL

I think people are definitely expecting too much. I think from the photos the leather looks pretty decent, the shape looks good overall and the colors look good overall. Very few retros in JB history are near dead match. I think overall it looks like a solid retro and I have a feeling in hand will look even better.Often I’m one to bang on about how a retro is off from the OG, but in this case I’m not sure why anyone is surprised with the shape/materials. This might be one big jump for this specific colorway, but we’ve seen a billion “IE” retros over the years, including two almost-OG retros of this colorway. They’re all the same. I knew odds were extremely low Nike would bring these out with a suddenly new mold closer to the OG shape. Sucks, but I’m not disappointed because I assumed this was what was coming. I’m still just as hyped as ever to finally be able to have new pairs of these after 25 years.

That’s the spirit..Less than two months to go now, I can smell the finish line!
Guessing sometime in August.A little surprised we haven’t seen more in hand early pics yet.
