There was also the patent ID options within the last year. I'd guess we'll get new options soonish.

I think those options were in addition to the canvas/perf leather options

No they were separate. They were $10 more too, just checked my order history, I ordered one of each.
I remember the canvas/perf options only being around for a very short time. Patent was around for awhile.

Nonetheless, both options were pretty lackluster to say the least.

I meant ran at the same time. I thought that for a while you could either choose the canvas/perf leather options or the patent/suede options.
You couldn't mix and match, but you could choose to do either/or for a period in time

Yea there was definitely some overlap in the time they were available.

Nah on theculturepdx it's a 10.5
The sole needs to be repainted and the suede mudguard is faded/dirty
The airbags are fogged but the seller says they are firm.

Materials are always good on the premium releases, the options/color blocking is the big issue.

Nipsey, you have the grey JDI's, correct? Have you placed these GR's alongside them? I feel like the only difference between the two are the color of the air bubble. I'm sure there's more but from the stock photos thats the feel I get

The above shoe has a piped tongue. The grey JDI does not.

Definitely similar in colorway. For some, one or the other may do just fine...not mad at that. Other than the obvious hits of orange on the jdi there are slight differences in the tone across the sneaker. It's like they took the grey jdi and said, "let's drop a few drops of grey in across the board."
The mudguard, quarter panel and mesh seem to be a shade darker than the grey jdi. Even the laces on the gr are a shade of grey as opposed to white on the jdi. Tongue piping as

mentioned before is present in the gr. Midsole and swoosh is sail on the gr and white on the jdi. Mesh is different too. Jdi has a nylon tongue, grey has mesh tongue. U throat on gr is a different suede than the mudguard and not the same material as the quarter panel. Jdi u throat is consistent with the quarter panels. Both swoosh are tumbled leather on both. The gr definitely gives off a "new balance" feel. Both are great!

Appreciate the comparison review and provided photos, Nipsey!
Can see the similarities but there are definite differences as well. The GR makes me feel like it was Nike's consolation prize to the consumer for not having the JDI's in the states.
I'm sure if it were the other way around, most would want the piped tongue on the JDI's.

Those greys are nice, but I prefer the old mesh as used on the JDIs.
