the 85's feel better because of the better PU insole that came with it
the midsole and boardlast don't improve the comfort

Jawns look straight plastic and I'm all for it 
So sick of tumbled wrinkly butter.

Leather looks bad, but overall these look good to me.
Bigger swoosh, shape looks good,......we'll see what that height really looking like.

totally fine with the smooth leather look so long as it's real leather and not that terrible mid pleather junk

I'm assuming these will have the same leather as the Neutral Grey's, Black/Whites, etc. Even though they're charging $250 for these I doubt we actually get super good leather on these

I’m ok with that leather. Anything less quality wise they are being even bigger scum bags than usual.

I don’t know Jack about leather quality.
But NightWing’s review seemed to make the case that the leather on the NGs was higher quality than the soft buttery variety.
Personally I’ll take the soft tumbled kind all day.

2 pairs Davey. After that I'll never need another pair of Black/Reds again.

In that comparison picture, they look more like 94s than any other pair released prior. I’m not mad at it but the Jordan 1 is a $250-350 max shoe IMO and that’s for resale.

Don’t scare me like that!
I was having flashbacks of paying $475 for the Lost and Founds.

Crazy how the leaked 1st pic seems like a 100% legit pair. No shady potato photo or typical fake leak thats usually off somehow from retail pairs. Don't see this often

Surprised everyone’s so cool with the shape. So far they look like mids with a weird shape IMO. Will still copp for the collection no doubt.

I mean the shape towards to front half of the shoe is great but the back around the heel, collar and wings logo looks off compared to the OG. Maybe it’s just me.

Dawg these cats is blind…I see it too, even with the last set of pics.
Shape towards the back looks disgusting.

That’s because the fake factories still haven’t been able to nail down the ‘85 1’s yet and get their super close reps out there for the model…This pair in particular would be even more difficult for them to get right since it has changes from what the other ‘85 colorways have had…
It’s really the perfect example that most of that super early leak stuff is pairs that are fake…
