Bro, I believe the '99 retro's had a black on the back of the tongue as well.Originally Posted by Chosen One
Eew, why'd they change the color on the back of the tongue to black though?
Looks so weird.

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 10-10.5Originally Posted by elcerrito91

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?

You are aware that tech grey is much lighter than cement grey, right?

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.

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?
