possible. I don't see them available on SNKRS or Nike.com desktop. Too early to be hitting outlets already right ?

If you wear them in the rain and don't step in a lot of dirt/mud, it actually serves the same purpose as you cleaning them. Next time you wear a pair in the rain, take a look at the bottom of your shoe. It cleans them nicely. I used to be afraid of wearing kicks in the rain, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

Haven't experienced any squeaking on my pair. May be due to the fact I haven't worn themlol.
yea same, havent heard a peep from my box
I remember i was using simple green to clean my sneakers for a while lol
If I had reps to give I certainly would, yeah that tongue is SUPER shiny. I always thought the tongue on JB shoes now are super high now.
I took some quick comparison pics between the 2000 and 2016 pairs.
It's interesting to see how much higher the 2016 tongue is compared to the 2000.
As I've mentioned in my previous post, the 2016 tongue is obnoxiously shiny, almost to the point of being a distraction.
Aside from the tongue, the overall build and quality of the 2016 is really great.
It seems that Nike is making strides in getting back to doing retros the right way.
I was pleasantly surprised with the way the black Supreme 5s came out and these took that momentum a step further.
I agree that the height of the tongue is closer to the OG 1990 version.
If you look at the OGs on foot, the the wider part of the tongue before it narrows to the top portion is at the top of the shoe; it's supposed to be aligned that way in my opinion; i.e. the tongue is the perfect OG height. It think it's really the sheen/oil look is the only thing that's off on these, but if that prevents cracking over time, that would be good. Overall, it's an awesome release. I just hope JB does this for all future releases. Personally, I think they'll cut back a bit, but hopefully it'll land somewhere between the WC4 and these. So long as I can cop on RD without stress, I'm good. I'm going to wear these asap so if there's s squeaking issue I can buy another pair while they're in stock. That's the benefit of having these sit for a while!
Makes sense. Maybe it'll loosen up with wear and won't be a comfort issue. I can't comment on the current comfort as I haven't worn them yet. Need another hour for the spray to dry!
I agree that the height of the tongue is closer to the OG 1990 version.
The problem with going back to such a height is that the new 3M material is not nearly as forgiving as the OG and 2000 3M.
The 3M on my 2000 pair is much softer and pliable; allowing it to flex easily when in motion.
The older 3M also looked great when it wasn't illuminated.
Again, this is just me nitpicking from being able to go off of a direct comparison.
The 2016s are still a fantastic retro and absolutely worth a purchase.
Don't spray them with nothing ruins the shoe in the long run!
