The model still needs some work, obviously since this is Nike after all…That being said, if the build quality is on par with the Cherry’s from last year then these will be just fine in my book…

Idk they look fairly close to me but like with any Jordan it seems to vary from pair to pair. Your pairs look pretty good imo.
It is a little strange to me that we aren’t getting Taxi’s or Obsidians yet, but I’m ok with getting black/reds again, it’s tied with Playoffs as my second fav 12 behind white/reds.

By far the biggest issue is the width of the vamp and mudguard height…They won’t fix either 
…If the build quality is as good as the Cherry’s it’ll be fine for me, otherwise we all know what buying a retro 12 in modern times brings with it 
…
As an aside…I absolutely hated the faux leather they used on the 2016 Flu Games pair…**** creased all weird and made them look unnatural after a couple wears…

Maybe I’m in the minority but the 2023 shape is far worst than the 2016 and they didn’t get the outsole right either. The 2023 sole was supposed to be just as transparent as the 2016. So I’m sure the 2025s will be garbage.
I’m glad your 2016 pair looks as good as they do man! The two pairs I bought were absolutely trash…They do look good in your pics though no doubt…

TAXI 
2016 I returned my pair due to over glue and crazy scratch on the toe. These will be welcomed.

Agreed, I hope they make em more puffy between the stitching. Had the ones from 03' and passed on 16'. Long overdue so Im in.

Top is 03 bottom is 2022
I really don't notice that big of a difference in the shape but the leather is way better on the 03's. It's softer and tougher at the same time.

New white/reds are lowkey trash
I hope they improve 12s cause I want to like them again.

03’ 12’s were nice quality, I had both playoffs and black/reds and the leather was truly nice. 2004 black/red 13’s were an incredible retro too. We need those again!!

These better not be identical to the 2016s. I’m expecting improvements
