Sunday steal ($60) at my local consignment store. DS but the soles are a bit yellowed and I have to dust them and clean them a bit.

Funny you say that. Here in L.A., just two nights ago I was in my nearby Ralph's and saw a guy wearing the Wu-Tang's. I may have seen someone here wearing foams once or twice before, but I don't remember if I actually have. Definitely not a common sight in my corner of the world over here LOL

Sorry, been a minute but finally around to take pics!
Main differences:
- 2023 is a Deeper and Glossier Black versus 2020
- Matte Finish and more Greytone Black
- Penny Logo on Tongue has smaller and darker emblem
- Overall cut of the shoe and threaded areas seem a bit tighter on the 2023. 2020 slightly bulkier.
- Grooves are a bit Deeper on the 2023. Deep Black shade and gloss also add to this effect to make it more pronounced.
Also, I’ve been wearing my 2020’s heavily for 3 years, but the finish hasn’t changed.

From those pics I like the 23 more. The matte finish is nice but they look gray in comparison.

Well I stand corrected.
I never owned the 2020, but from pics they looked like they had solid black soles, but they in fact have dark smoked translucent soles.

If we got snow (I’m also in LA), maybe they’d be more popular? I remember busting out my foams any time it rained, snowed, sleeted, hailed, whatever back when I was on the east coast…I’m also from DC so foams are in my dna

Nah it's solid .. I believe the lighting gives it a translucent look in the pictures. My 2020s are beat.

BTW, thank you for taking the time for posting this. I can see pros and cons of each. Regardless, I only have he 2020s, and I have no intention on having both or trying to swap out.
I've been on the fence selling mine as I haven't unDS'd them, which is rare for me. But something tells me I'd regret offloading them. Gotta have at least one foam in the collection. Really need to break them out and wear them in!

BTW, just looked at mine again, they're not translucent or smoked; they're solid black. They also don't have the grey look like in the pics above; they look pure black matte. Perhaps the lighting and contrast with the glossy finish of the '23 makes them look that way.
Anyway, both look great. So how long do these take to break in so that double-stacked zoom kicks in? Out of the box they're pretty freak'n stiff.

Damn, I could hear that voice in my head.
A. Is NBA Jam still a thing?
B. Does this mean I'm old AF for knowing this reference?

Same. I think it's more of the glossier finish that exaggerates the depth of the grooves.
The tongue emblem being different sizes is more annoying than anything
