From JJ... Cushioning in the Stacks and 96 is amazing. The KJ, not as good as the previous 2. How's the fit and cushioning with the 97?

So they could paint the midsole correctly in the 90s yet almost 2 decades later with improvements in manufacturing technology it's actually harder?

Peep out this dope video of the Top 10 Plays of the Week from April 8, 1995 on where Jamal Mashburn in #8 you could see him wearing the FILA Mashburn's.

Sounds similar to their excuse as to why they didn't bring the red lines all the way down on the stacks. I feel like they're just being lazy unfortunately.

Word. I remember how at first they was going to release the Stack 2's with the line going all the way down to the bottom. But then they decided to change their minds. This is how at first they was looking like.

TBH I think it was our fault the lines didn't go all the way down on the Stack2s, anybody remember how hard we went on the lines not lining up on the 96s?
Fila was prob like screw them we ain't getting that same complaint

One of my 96s line up perfectly and the other shoe is way off. Drives me nuts. I would rather them both be off or on point.
The Stacks should have the line all the way down though. That's weak on their part.
The Mashburn's are weird. Don't understand how they can't do it right. Doesn't bother me too much, I'll buy them for $40 or less in a few months.

I'd venture that it costs more to have the midsoles painted a certain way. It may be an actual 'manual' process vs. it being automated by a machine.
The reality is that most FILA product is only being purchased on very steep discount so there's no real incentive for them to spend more on the manufacturing costs.

Sad, but probably true.
I am torn on the Mashburns. Loved them in the '90s, but the midsole is actually bothering me enough to stop me getting the retro I think.

They can make them the same though.
Why on earth couldnt they reverse the paint?
It makes no sense unless they ran out of black paint
Lets not compare them to nike because we need to compare them to fila. They did a great job with the fila 96.
How couldnt they reverse the paint???

Seems common with Fila. I saw this happen on multiple pairs on the heels of my 96's and Cage.
