Looks so weird.
Bro, I believe the '99 retro's had a black on the back of the tongue as well.

^
they do..
it's just on the older ones, the front leather/suede of the tongue is rolled into the top stitching
so you can't see what color the back of the tongue is from the front - a cleaner look
 
ya, but this is what i mean below, they kind of do the stitching in reverse now on top of the tongue

cause since 04, you can see the back tongue color over the front

You're more than welcome to buy that fake pair that was posted on the last page if you want white on the back of the tongue.

+1 to all of that. A pair of shoes is frankly no good to me unless I can wear them, especially one that I'd have to pay 400-500+ for. I know the older retros/OGs have better quality, owning several pairs myself, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.

 I wouldn't pay MP for a unwearable used pair, but would pay MP for a DS pair (to stock and leave on ice)....if I found a cheap used pair that was wearable, I'd just beat em to death. I don't see what the big deal is with buying certain pairs to collect, but not wear. I've seen many collections of just DS pair after DS pair, it's not that uncommon either, especially with vintage (70-80s) stuff. Yeah I agree with buying unwearable shoes for high prices, unless they are DS. Of course there is a line though, if they have noticeable cracks, peeling, etc then I'll pass, but if I found a PERFECT DS pair of 99s then why not?

Even buying them DS is a waste. The older they are, the more fragile they are. And the more you handle them, the more likely they are to crack, peel, etc. For me, it would be a slap a face to have a beautiful shoe and know that I could never wear them. That would be like be buying size 7 shoes knowing damn well I wear a 10-10.5
Anyone else think the 2012s have a higher speckle ratio than the 99s? Especially around the wings and back tab. Its hard to tell for me, but they look like they have slightly more speckles than the 99s but still not nearly enough as the 89s. Also, is it me or do these have a different shape than the DB IVs? It seems the DB IVs have the 2006 shape and these have a newer, more visually appealing shape.

Nope, saw the "early samples" of the "tech grey", they looked darker. Are you saying lighter than the 99's cement grey? Can you get lighter than that?

99s and originals are listed as white/black. It doesn't even say what color the grey was, but I would say that tech grey is probably closer to the 99s than what the cement grey of today looks like. Cement grey has changed a few shades over the years though. This is tech grey btw.
