I assume you're talking about me..
Look at the leather density on the back of the shoe on the sides.. on the older retros the stitching dips in and creates almost "columns" of leather.
After taking a look at one of the pictures posted on the other page, the back of these has the stitching at the same level of the leather. Gives the leather a thin look. The stitching should be dug into the leather to give it a chunky thick look like I'm used to seeing on the back of the XIIs.
^ see the leather indentation on the back due to the stitching?
I know I'm probably being real anal about that, but I don't know what you want me to tell you.
If you think I'm arguing just to argue, go ahead. Those last pics look a lot better than the other ones I saw before, but man I'm hoping that I'm just seeing things too critical or something.. I love this colorway. That's really my only gripe about these so far is the leather indentation not being there from what I saw. Other than that, the colors / blocking stayed true for the most part so I'm happy.
