OG's weren't painted. It was raw foam. That was a problem back in the day because if you scuffed them, they were damn near impossible to get clean. Ended up discoloring the entire midsole. I remember finding this out the hard way with my Air Force 5 Lows. Caught my heel on something the first night I wore them out and never was able to get them right again. That's what jrepp is talking about with the 94's.

reading these pages give me a headache. The amount of false info makes me laugh. If it were 10yrs ago I’d have the energy to educate. Now I’m entertained by it.
People just deem a shoe fake off of the slightest reasons. Most pairs floating are legit from Nike.
y’all got it tho

Missed out on the 2s because I thought they released today instead of yesterday. Not paying the resell prices people are currently asking for them on eBay so its full steam ahead on these. Just need one pair but gonna try for 2.

OG midsoles yellowed and so did early retros.
Until they started putting that layer of paint OVER the foam. Before that the paint was like dyed into the foam.

Yep, exactly. You can see it really well on these OG Solo Flights. That foam around the Royal Blue used to be pure white. That's exactly why they started painting the midsoles on the retros. Sealed the foam AND allowed them to stay white longer.

I also have wondered if the closed-cell PU doesn’t work for dyeing. I could be wrong.Yep, exactly. You can see it really well on these OG Solo Flights.

That pair above the packaging box has the best looks.Aight so here’s some screenshot from early reviewers. (I was bored)
This one below has the thin print and came out of a Nike shipping box. No widows peak on his pair.
It’s gonna be a real ish show come release date.
Also this guys pairs has different type of elephant print on the heel tab on both shoes.

It’s still gonna be a gamble. This feels like the Air Randy milky toe incident of 2011 all over again.

The fakes of these are dog sh*t as of now. Shapes completely off, toe box is huge, ep is bold.
Fakes only start getting good closer to release or months and month after, hell they just starting getting the WC4s "close" 5 years later.

If you're planning on buying an early pair now and you want to spend the $$ personally I wouldn't worry about getting ripped off with some fakes.

10 years ago it was easy to tell the difference. Today, Nikes’ contracted factories workmanship is worst than what the replica factories put out. It’s not being wrong or misinformed, it’s these subtle differences that are telling signs.

Our company has been working for many years, owns its own factory, and once worked for Nike, so we have the technology. Later, our labor cost went up, and after the contract expired, Nike went to other countries to seek lower labor force for production. From rep workers

Many people will say this isn't the case. I've given up on trying to figure out who's right.

Dudes still in here acting like they can tell early pairs apart in terms of real and fake, on some sneakers they never held a retail pair of?
A lot of what I’m seeing in here just looks like standard mass produced sneaker variations. Come release some of y’all gon get pairs straight off SNKRS and still be on here like “Do you guys think Nike sold me fakes?

I still don't know how people are legit checking LF's.
I got two retail pairs and they have enough variation between the two I would never buy a pair secondary market.
