Just make the outsole like the 3lab5 metalic. The pics make them look blue but in person. They don't look like it, and they have barely yellowed for me.

I may be in the minority but the 23 on the side of the shoe is preferable in my opinion
Regardless these are a Must Have

If JB did it right and released them with Nike Air and the #23 that would be MJ's PE that is a grail of mine.

I pretty sure most people, including me, only have a problem with the 23 because the font is always wrong

The lack of 23 makes the shoe look cleaner IMO. But to be honest the boxy OG font does look easier on the eyes

I've been hearing a lot that wearing your shoes makes them wearable. Never DS your shoes for longevity. My black cat 3s and orange blaze 8s are approaching 10 years and they aren't falling apart yet.

I remember when I bought 2000 pair for only $150 + tax back in 2007. What a steal...This was when everyone wanted the non Nike Air model.
Might try to dig up that photo.

I'm also a size 11 and I felt like the wolf greys ran slightly bigger; they also felt a little wider. But that was the only case. The remainder of the 5s have been good for me.

@Gambit11 where do you see black netting on these, you must be going by the unauthorized pictures my friend.

I mean in both those images you can't see it. The black netting I was talking about is on the tongue, under the laces.

They're using the original 1990 shoe as model for the 2016 (which had clear netting), I believe you're looking at those other photos that were shared in the thread:
As you can see these unauthorized pairs have a blue tint while the picture from Nike (In the post I mentioned you in) has a clear tint.

The pictures from Nike seem to have a blue tint if you ask me. That's not a clear sole

Compared to the unauthorized they look clearer in the second photo from Nike.

I agree with you. Soles look the same to me. Just different lighting IMO.

Its splitting hairs, cuz I agree, but I think the light box under the Nike photo is giving off the bluish tint. They definitely don't seem as blue as the UA's
As far as the #23 goes, as long as JB gives us quality materials and shape Im happy either way.
Although my 2006 Metallic's are still in great condition, so not sure whether Ill need a new pair
