No way resell would be $350, they're making a ton of these. Probably as much as fire red 5's, if not more.

If they’re at least on par with the BC’s I’ll be happy.

Jordan Brand can fix the shape whenever they want, it's been proven.
I can no longer find the post, but I saw a post on IG with a recent Eminem 4 Sample. But the shape was exactly like the 2004 mold instead of 2012 and later...my mind was blown.
I wish I could find it...I'll never forget seeing it. Just shows Nike has been lying to us the entire time.
That being said, idc enough to pass. I enjoy my retros. Yes I'm 27, was a kid when OGs were out so I didn't experience them the same way. Yes I wish they looked more liked the OGs and early retros, but not enough to the point where I won't cop. And if it did bother be that much, I would just pass to be honest.
Edit: this is what I was talking about:
I want to highlight this post because this argument comes up all the time. They can, it's just that they won't. Whether it's about cutting cost, milking OGs as long as they can, or just not caring enough to make changes, they can clearly make it happen.

Idk man those PSG's are hitting hard on resell and the BC4s from last year are super expensive. So I'm thinking they're gonna blow up with them being a OG colorway and it being OG branding.

110% bs the Jb cant replicate the shape or lost the molds here is the OG fire red with the 2018 OG shape sample undefeated 4s!

Excat specs. They do it for Drake and make them OG shaped so there is 0 excuses for the bs shape in 2020

You guys really think these look like the same mold? Look at the toe. The top pair looks 1000X better.

Do you think over time Jordan Brand/Nike has lost its engineering/design documents or certain suppliers and that’s one of the reasons they can’t duplicate things? Has anyone on this board emailed/written a letter personally to Gentry or anyone else discussing there concerns or wants? I always wondered what Tinker and Mark think of Gentry.

There's plenty of OGs still around. Even if they did lose the molds (doubt it) they could easily take apart someone's OGs, trace/3D scan the cuts and voila. I always found that discussion strange, we're not talking about some one of a kind 300 year old piece of clothing.

No way this is the same mold, look at the difference in the toes and the height of the wing.

Did you see the undefeated pair I posted? That's 2 different shoes from different owners they can do the OG specs bro theh lie. Or it must be way easier to mass produce B.S then it is to so a new shape!

It's not the same mold, the top pair is the pair we're talking about. The bottom pair was just posted to show the differences in shape.

Technological advances allow them to make a better, more consistent model to the OG than even some OG pairs (discontinued materials aside). By using the excuse that retros are no longer performance shoes, they can continue to cut corners.

They wouldn't even need OG's. 99's are hella close to the original molds. Closer than any other retro has been.

Just like everyone saying look at the new air max 90s reshape it is so butter. They can make w.e they want at this point there is no way they can just not make the OG shape.

Sorry guys I’m extremely confused by what you are trying to show with these pictures. The og Eminem and undefeated both had trash shape. I can see that one of each pair looks a little better (I assume they’re the new samples?) just like all 4s produced after 2016 look better than anything from 2004-2015.
I don’t see anything og 1989 in any of those 4 pictures but I agree with your point that they can easily do it if they want to.
Also guys have you thought that majority of buyers just don't care about having the og shape not would they notice. I mean who are we to say that everyone would prefer the og mold? I'm sure the people who had the ogs and ate still buying Jordans today make up a very niche portion of the buyer's today.
