Why you still in here hating on these? You made your point. And everyone buying these is definitely buying Concords too

It didn't even take nearly that long for the eyelets to turn a shade of green, my pair did it within months of release.
The mochas are underrated. They seem like a bad idea until you have them in person and they can be worn with a lot of stuff. At least that's how I feel about them. I bought them the first time just because I wanted a 3 and there was nothing else available. Once I got them, I genuinely liked them, way more than I ever expected. But I won't buy them again because they just don't stay looking good for long. The midsole starts to yellow/brown (it seemed like the mocha color bled into it), the back tab yellows quickly, and those green eyelets ... I suppose it's possible JB will have corrected all that with this retro, but I don't need them bad enough to spend the money to find out.

Mochas > Mint Mochas 
Maybe they did little touchups to avoid these issues. But why am i talking you into buying my shoe?

Mine probably weren't AS green as the ones in that pic above, but they discolored noticeably pretty fast, and definitely had a green/blue tint to them.
The uppers held up great, it was just the discoloration of the tab and midsole more than anything that turned me off. They just didn't stay looking nice for very long, relatively speaking.

This is a colorway that looks great with some wear though. The mocha is a nice accent for the dirt and aging.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I thought they looked like poop (almost literally) once they started turning brown and yellow

I'm old and will be going for the Mocha's haha. Pass on the Concords for me (not a fan of 11's). Hoping the Mocha's will be an easy cop. This will be my first 3, missed out on the 2001's and not really a fan of the others.
