I think dudes on here think that if the exact same shoe comes out, they expect the exact same shoe. I'm one of them. At least with Jordan's you can say, well it's been ten years, but Nike can't even get a pair of kicks right that just released last year. Which symbolizes the problem with Nike and Jordan Brand over the past ten years, and seems only to be getting worse. How come New Balance can retro kicks in England, China and here, and there's no difference.
1. The color is duller, and doesn't have the same gloss
2. The grooves do matter
3. The blue tint to the icey sole being different
It might not be that noticeable to anyone who doesn't have the 2009's, but fake Jordan's aren't noticeable either to people who don't buy them. Besides the carbon plate being good, you would think they were. Each time I pick them up, I'm like wow these are different. At first I was thinking it was the lighting in the store or something.
So it's like how I hear dudes say those are quality fakes.
I don't mind, because I have 2009's, and I think if you took the risk with Nike, you deserve to get what they shove at you.
