I like the clean look with no 23

It is. P-51 Mustang was the inspiration for that part. A-10 Thunderbolt/Warthog typically has these as well. The font issue on the retros before 2016, used the font from USAF tail codes. The initial PEs didn’t have that font.Thought it was the fighter plane, with the teeth on the midsole
This is what I was saying. I’ll take a 23 if it has the original font. The retros had a totally different font it’s not a matter of execution. Idk what that guy is going on about with the bomber nonsense. Either put the original 23 like the PE or leave it off.

I kind of regret getting rid of my Vapor Flash jacket a few years ago. Would have looked great with these.3M Nike Air is cold…Might have to go for 2 pairs
Yup. Out of the reimagined series that have come out so far, these are the least “reimagined”.I’m usually pretty skeptical of reimagined Jordans but I’m diggin these. Really brings new meaning to them being called ‘Metallics’, but it doesn’t look over bearing either. They easily could have overdone it by making the netting and/or laces metallic also.
I like the white better but DO THEY COME WITH BLK LACES ALSO ?
Yeah we’re splitting hairs about whether the 2011 version with 23 on them is a “different” font. It’s not a different font or someone could point out what that font actually is. It’s just a half assed stitch job which we’re all aware of. Doesn’t change the fact that it should release with 23.
I’m not going to keep engaging in this kind of anal retentive debate but if someone doesn’t believe that’s the same font used on the B52 I don’t really care what they think. Plain as day in this photo.
Dude you’re the one who said those of us talking about font were wrong (“missing the point”) and didn’t understand how it was supposed to be. Then you said the B52 was the inspiration for the shoe. Neither statement is factual, so don’t get bent and dismiss it as “anal retentive” when people point that out
I wasn't a fan of the white laces but they're starting to grow on me now.Switched to playoff mode for a change for a bit
the shape is good man
All the shoes we are seeing now are fakes. This is the same thing that happened in the reimagined 4 thread. All fakes until that first official pic right before the SNKRS app podcast came out officially introducing them.So strange how these drop in Feb.....but already in hands? Not the bred 1s or bc3s.....idk bruh....these might be a stupid fake where they are assuming it'll look like that
M marztharealist upon closer look.. you are correct. I am not stuck on the material.. but more so excited about the shape at this point in time. As dakingii mentioned, these are all unauthorized pairs from these factories. Possibly the factory that made this pair, used the materials from the White Thunder 4's just to pump it out.
I'm not trying to be negative or anything because I do like these, but looking closer at the pics, it looks like they are using that VERY cheap, ashy nubuck, simliar to the recent White Thunder 4's or the 2011 release. I was hoping that they just used the same nubuck as the 2016's, but you know Nike/JB always has to change something. 90% of the time it's ALWAYS for the worse.
