Id imagine they'll have it right for production. If the 8s awere done right then I don't see them screwing these up.
 
Lookin good but the real question is....are these real? Either way the final product will be copped!
 
But why is the tongue netting black? It just looks odd without the contrast of the black laces in front of the translucent tongue.

Not sure if even real, if it is. I hope JB fixes that.

Damn good eye. I didn't even notice that. I'm sure they'll fix it. That pair might not even be legit
 
you bout 2 cop an early pair?
no I'm talking about the release pair. Even if the insole isn't remastered if still be down.

Still not as much noise being made about these as u thought. I thought these were most people's grails.

These are the best, most accurate Jordan Retro in years IMO!!!
 ​
Like @Super Producer J said, ABSOLUTE SNEAKER PERFECTION!!!!
 ​
This is one of the BEST Jordan's of ALL-TIME (In my top 5), and a proper retro has been LONG over due!!!
 ​
I must have no less than 2 pairs h***, maybe three pairs!!!
 ​
I wish they'd put this much effort, into makin' the 4s look this good.

Hopefully, we don't have to wait until Black Friday 2016. But, I'm not trippin' if I have to, I just wanna make sure I have my $460-$700 ready!!!
 ​
So far, this is the MOST anticipated Nike/JB release of 2016 IMO....
 ​
These are one of my Jordan grails (Top 5 All-Time) and they just passed the WC 4's by a ****** landslide!!!

 ​
I pray to the "Sneaker Gods" that they're NOT limited, and all of NTers eat easliy....
 ​
But, since they're gettin' rid of certified release dates, they're might be bloodshed over these.
 ​
Repped to the unadulterated fullest @louytromps & @kennmo08 for the new pics!!!!
 ​
It's funny, I was just about to look and see If I could find some new pics of these, and low and behold....
 ​
Y'all already posted em.

 ​
Once I get two pairs of these in my possession, my 2011's will become beaters...
 ​
They're already not aging well.

Repped again @jaylaw15, the 3m tongue is super on point. It's also d*** nice to see Nike back on the lace lock finally. My only major concern is the black netting on the tongue.

My thirst is so hard that I didn't even notice, and still wouldn't have unless @AirThompson didn't point it out. Good eye G, repped also.

also back then, the nike air on the insole faced each other...that is...the font on the left shoe was flipped 180 degrees
cant remember retros getting that og treatment
 
They may not change it, they purposely kept the Olive on the back of the bordeauxs and the tongue despite fixing the green on the outsole. While the color on the insole isnt a big deal the black netting on the tongue is quite disrespectful.

Yeah I know these are probably fakes (or samples) but they really need to change that netting under the tongue. Also do you guys think they will do a true clear sole like the OGs had (and the maroon 6's this year) instead of that new blue crap that was on the infrared 6's

I doubt they'd keep the smoked outsole. I hope they just bring back the good ole' clear outsoles. Didn't people's maroons and 72-10s come yellowed? I'm not a fan of the blue sole too much but I'd take that over the cream sole.
