I said "as far as ive seen" tho. no retro I have (or had) has what id consider og quality leather on it. or quality durabuck for that matter, but that's a different rant. I like how the command leather looks and feels over the awful 180s, but that's going to be a subjective opinion obviously. I don't have any of the ones you mentioned to evaluate. ive been so disappointed with retro quality in general I just don't buy them unless its something special like these. if you say they do, then ok brah, but I haven't seen it myself.
no disagreements here that nike cheaps out whenever possible, but from my point of view, I was expecting it (fool me once) somewhere on these by default. they could have done better sure, but it wasn't very likely to happen imo. no retro is ever going to be og perfect man.
I borrowed the og insoles and laces from the 180 restorations I did a few years back cause those are easy swaps to do and make them more og. ill prolly put an og command force insole in when I can pick up an 11 later this month tho. but you don't have to change them at all, I just suggested that if you don't find them to your liking.
they clearly aren't og exceptional, but for my part I like them well enough to get a couple more pairs and wear each one into the ground.
