yes they have, they just have used a more bulkier OG for the default shape when nike designed the first retros, back in the 90s the shape from the OG am90 was very inconsistent not one pair was the same, and QC was horrible compared to nowadays standards
check this comparison here
yeah, the one and only, the rest are all persian violet behind the tongueany info on the 2000 BW retro? It's the only retro with black back of tongue.
I think they're fairly true to the OG's. If you give a look to 1991 huaraches, for example, you'll see that the colors on the upper truly pop as if they were neon-powered. I'm taking that pair as a support to my theory cause these colors aged well due to not being spray painted on the sole but integrated to the knit, lining, etc, which made them be timeproof in some way. The red areas on 1990 Air Max III's soles aged over time, they gradually yellowed and got ashy and such, which probably made them lose that "pop" the retros have. But I really think the Nike Retro team did a good job at restituing what the AMIIIs looked like back in the days, plus they probably based their work on OG ads that showed the shoes shining a bit as your pair does. I dunno if my answer sounds logic, especially since my English is faulty on many aspects, but I hope it will do the job.I have a question about the 2020 Air Max III Radiant Red, which I bought recently. The box, the shape and the goodies are great, but is the color really close to the OG? Its very neon-stylish and when I compare these to the OG and even the former retros, they all look more like the red of the box, more varsity red than neon red. Could anyone of the Air Max 90 purists and experts confirm that this 30th anniversary edition really is the closest version to the OG? Especially with the color which feels wrong to me but due the aging process of the 1990 model there is no out of the box comparison possible anymore. Maybe it had a neon red, too back then.
I posted 2 comparison pics of my best og pair versus the retro just a few pages back,so everyone could see for themselves how close they have come.I think they're fairly true to the OG's.

Here you get a glimpse at how glowy the red can look on a pair of true OG's.
Re-re-re-Edit: I love shoes......
Dope socks.
They seem pretty similar to the wooly lining option that was available with the pendleton id's last year. They aren't made super thick that you needed to half size up. I have wide feet and went tts and they fit fine.Anyone know if those Christmas joints fit tight due to the lining?
I've gone tts and my mates accidentally ordered full size up which would be a half size up for me. Will swap with him if they aren't massive on me.
They’re not an issue. In this case. Wear the classics and enjoy it. Imperfections were around in 90 and they’re around today. Massed produced shoe and I’m happy they did.waiting for my infrareds to be delivered today. are the toe dents that big of an issue for people? wont they dent on their own with wear?
Top 5 release this year too! Such a vibrant shoe!Easy cop on Concords this morning. They are totally sitting.
A couple pairs showed up. And yes, every last pair will get run into the ground.
I’ve seen it all and tried it all.Any special treatment for storage or just the shoes in the box? Not sure if things like putting the shoes in ziplocs are really effective, I read evrything and its opposite on this particular subject
