Got my pair in, really satisfied. Solid leather, good shape, NA.
Elephant print don't bother me one bit. Rather have more than less. Shrugs

The insole is much thicker and better on 2018s than the 2011s. I appreciate that a lot.

The only sneaker I ever doubled up on were the Concords and I ended up selling the other pair. I'm not hard on my sneakers so no need to double up on anything really.

For one of my top 3 pairs of all time, I’m definitely doubling up on the 17th

Happy with my pair, glad to finally own these.
Funny to me because, IMO, the leather is the same as the TB3.
But people will say these are better quality, just because
Anyway, hope everyone eats on release day.
If this is true then I'm wondering if people actually wore them. I can understand craftmanship issues on them but after wearing them for a while the leather will soften up.

Wow that might be the thickest EP cut I’ve ever seen
Pair just landed.
2018 is much better to me. More vibrant red, more padding, chunky EP, and no glossy midsoles. Leather quality is a little better than 2011 but nothing crazy. Very happy with my pair.
I guess if you prefer the thicker cut then you lucked out. Personally I would be looking for a new pair on release day.
I can see from the recent pictures that some people got some nice pairs but I’ve seen a lot of the same inconsistencies and flaws that the tb3s had, unfortunately.

I assume those on the left are '94s? Nike definitely went a little OD on the perforations this year, but overall it's a very respectable retro in my opinion. Similar to the '16 WC4 execution. Leather isn't pinnacle/BIN quality, but leagues better than the other 3s I have. Amazing how quality differs so drastically across shoes and releases; would love to hear how those boardroom mtgs about materials decisitions go down!

It’s always been a piece of mind thing with me, I feel like I can wear them normal and know I have backup in case they get too beat up. It’s usually never the case though, and I rarely break out the other pair, but I guess I can always at least get retail back for them.

Ah...I lost track of what year NA was replaced with the jumpman.
I really like these (and a few years ago I wasn't even into 3s....only 4, 5, 6...I know...blasphemy, right!). Tempted to double up, but know that's a waste (at least for me). I had two WC4s and returned one, and those are one of my grails. I get more stressed knowing unworn shoes are rotting in the closet and becoming unwearable, than the stress of beating the ones I'm wearing. Absolutely worst case is they can be had on the resell market, and likely pretty close to retail (only marked up for seller fees they're trying to cover). Anyway, my two cents...to each their own. I can see how it would be extremely tempting for long time 3 or BC3 fans to double up though!

You seem to not know the “problem” so best to leave it alone.
I personally wanted the grey elephant print to match the grey on the rest of the shoe like the OGs. Nope.

I have an issue, I’m not exactly sure why I find the need to double up... it’s really weird and it’s damn near hoarding the way I do it with every purchase
I’m a moron TBH
