Any retro OG wears release?!?...ex. any "Flight" Suit, Tees, etc???!? Or, also just post up some Dope matchups gear wise to rock with cememt 4s.

My gut is telling me Jordan Brand is outsourcing their production to multiple factories in China. Each factory may be using different materials and Nike/JB isn't doing a A+ job of monitoring their quality control practices overseas. There's less centralization going on in my opinion and the easiest way for JB to produce a million pairs of WC 4s, a million pairs of 72-10s, etc is to use multiple production facilities. And in China, they're a dime a dozen.

This can also partly explain the reason why over the last couple of years, fake (aka UA/GM) pairs are getting much closer to looking and feeling like the real thing.

Interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Earlier last year I had the same experiences with the Laser IV's and the Black and White Jordan 1's. I think people who got recent 1's also noticed the random leathers on various pairs. It's definitely not all consistent.

Also between the 2 pairs, the Villa pair fits huuuge... loose. It's the toe box room on the bigger craftsmanship. The NDC pair fit me TTS. This could explain some folks complaining about how the sizing is so off while others just can't seem to understand how because their pair fits their normal sizing.

My pair arrived yesterday. I'm pretty satisfied with them. Not 100% perfect, but none of the major flaws shown a few pages back. These are super fresh in person though.

OG >>>>> '99, '16 & '12​

 ​

Yes @Salacious Crumb, the netting areas where one of the BEST features on the OG's & '99 pair...​

 ​

But I'm happy with my 2016 pair. Sorry NT, I'm been sick the last couple of days, so I haven't posted up any pics.​

 ​

I will later on today, when I get home from work.  I promise.​

 ​

Edit: My bad y'all, it's a pic of the 2016's in there also... I can't delete it for some reason...​

I don't know if you guys can tell from the image but look at that toebox height difference and shape.

Right pair (11/17 end date) has the dreaded shape, the left pair (10/09 end date) actually looks decently flushed.

I'll try to snap some more detailed pictures later on.

 

[hypebeastftwlol]

Thanks marztherealist. Just brought back wonderful memories. Perfect specles, strong tabs, beautiful leather. Overall perfection. My first pair ever. Thank you.

Why are the production dates different

It's usually always the case. I'm telling you man, sometimes they are made in different locations as well. Not like the left side, right side factories like people have have been joking lol but its common for shoes to be put together at different timeframes with similar materials that are suppose to be the same. Ever wonder why a pair of shoes sometimes arent identical?

Little late but it was a busy work week for Me. United the two. Cannot be more satisfied with the quality.

I relaced mine and skipped the second hole from the bottom (where the "wings" are), and only put them through the top middle hole on the upper wings, the bottom part looked too crowded IMO...the laces are long enough to leave unlaced like this, but decent length to tie

[bayarea23]

Damn threat still moving but same old non sense...

View media item 1919049

Only time I clean my soles is when I switch rotation, and if I know I'm not going to wear the shoes for a while.

Thought I was the only one that did this! Now I'm excited. It looks perfect

To the people who did the toebox fix, how are they holding up? Is it a temporary fix or does it stay well put? Jw
