Let's get some better pics going before we judge them.

The angle of the shoe and the way the laces are choked up, don't compliment the shoe at all.

man im here breaking my neck, and i dont see what they're talking about when they say "banana shaped"

usually u would atleast need a clear side shot to determine the "banana-like" shape smh

Too bad the shape of the 03 04 retros were identical to the 09s.

The white part on my shoes (toe/sole) is yellowed/dirty & I don't like it.

That I can 100% NOT agree with 

 

[frenchblue23]

It's not a big difference though. I still want these obsidians if they're on point.

I do, and I'm telling you the side profile shape is the same. I'm looking at my pairs side by side this very moment. Not to mention I just posted a link filled with comparison pics. The only real differences were the tongue and padding.

I don't even think the 2009's had padding did they?  They were flatter than Kesha's !!$.  

 
But judging from those sample pics, the tongues are looking alright. 

 

[dtb00201]

Lol yea that padding was pathetic. Overall, I loved the 09 retro though. I just wish they would fix the tongue and stop sewing the back material over top of the leather on the tongue. They've basically done that with every Jordan retro since 2004. I think it's a much cleaner look when Jordan's don't have the padding sticking up higher. It is especially annoying when it's two different colors, like on the 2009 nubucks.

Hate that crap too.  
2003 

2009

 

[dtb00201]

I realllllllllly hate it on 13s because it tends to look all jagged and what not.


side note: I picked up a pair of worn once 03 nubucks on ebay for $115 shipped about a month ago

I ran mine to the ground, and been trying to look for a pair (2003) since.  
Still have the hat laying around somewhere, sold the sweater cuz it was too big.  

 

[asilva23]

i wrongly assumed we wouldn't see anymore 12s for a while.

i'm glad i was wrong!!!

 

[sensezfail]

cant wait for these and the playoffs. fingers crossed on the quality but im not really expecting to be blown away.

 

[imui for2oh]
