I need that track suit!!
the collection dropping on NIKE this year for this shoe is trash!

They retro’ed this suit back with the 5’s recently.


I copped all four of them.

 

[sickickz23]

Fire red 3s with NA next please

 

[pwguy]

Nah...FR4s are a higher priority!

Yours will be flawless.

Thanks for jinxing me, you clown

The toe slant still isn't what it should be; even the WC4s were more slanted, and the "AIR" being off on the back tab. Wonder if the product/design team approved this, or it went into production off spec, and it was too late to make an adjustment. Oh well...been waiting 30 years for these (didn't buy ANY retros until 2013, and won't pay resell).

So what's up with the OG box returning comments? Isn't this the same 4s box we've been getting?

I don't know about that re: toe slant on the WCs. My two pairs of those, the toes are basically straight as a board with zero slant whatsoever. I don't think it's geometrically possibly to make a straighter toe on these.
That back tab ... I want to compare it side by side with the WCs. I'm wondering if the fact that they seem to have raised the height of the nubuck panel surrounding that area hasn't actually resulted in the heel tab being covered up a bit more than before. In other words, did they have less exposed plastic space to fit the Nike and Air onto, forcing them to fudge the alignment? That would be about right for JB: Throw a half-assed fix to one ongoing complaint on the shoes, only to have it cause a whole new stupid inaccuracy/problem. I could be wrong on this one, though, it just crossed my mind earlier.
EDIT: solecitor 's pic above seems to validate this theory, but maybe my eye's are playing tricks on me. I'm pretty convinced, though.

Everyone keeps mentioning Chi 1’s as a possible/probable release during All Star Week 2020 in Chicago.I personally think they might retro the White Cement 3’s as they Debuted during All Star Week 88’ in Chicago.Anyone else think it’s a possibility?

Just got them in.

I hope to beat these like I did these 2012

Guess I need to get the 5s too.

That apparel collection is a joke. Why not just retro the OG apparel along with the shoes?

For years I've been trying to understand why they don't do this, or at least why they don't do it a lot more than they do. They spend a lot of time designing and pumping out some of the wackest apparel, when they've got an entire archive of stuff they could just reissue. Par for the course with these fools, as usual.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Yea the apparel sucks Was hoping to get a shirt with the shot over Ehlo on it

 

[solecitor]

JB did wonderful with the BC3 apparel, it’s a shame they dropped the ball for these.

How'd you keep the nubuck on the 2012's in such good condition?

 

[Vile.in.Va]

Nike Air

Sick bro, that's how my collection looks minus the white 3s. Nike Air all day

I want to hate but those are kind of gorgeous. Guess I got to get a pair

They do kind of look weird from the front and the toebox is a bit excessive.

 

[dhtowng]

Ugh the freaking toe box. Idk why it’s bothering me today man. Can’t ignore it. Gonna chalk it up to Foamer having big feet lol.

This shot actually seems to reverse what I was thinking about the Nike Air. They raised the cut of the nubuck back there but also appear to have modified the height/dimensions of the heel tab itself to accommodate it. Almost looks like they had more space to deal with as a result and, as I think has been mentioned, increased the font size of the AIR as a solution. I can't tell from the photos if the actual Nike and swoosh have changed size compared to the WCs. Kind of looks like not, or just barely. That would probably explain it: Swoosh and NIKE stay the same, but the AIR has to grow to fill out the extra space below and there you have it, a mismatch. Oh well.

 

[mega.]

definitely going for 2 pairs and one for the little cousin

 

[noblekane]

after those pics still only one pair.

they didnt even try just slapped nike air on the shoe
