I think he is talking about me.
Let’s see your pristine pair.Guy comes in here and accuses all 85s of a banana toe, when in reality it’s a couple here and there. Mine are pristine. Acting like this is the Carmines with every damn pair being pink.
The lows are the winner here. Wish I had those. It kicks the retro ‘85 out of the car while moving. Even check the swoosh size.pair just came in and yeah toebox stands out but not that bad and i’m beating these so not a big deal to me
lows and comparison with the OG chicago
The thing about the lows is the leather is complete garbage. It’s like tissue paper thin. All of the og low pairs are like that, unfortunately. Also the 3M swooshes are kind of a bummer.The lows are the winner here. Wish I had those. It kicks the retro ‘85 out of the car while moving. Even check the swoosh size.
Yes, they need to up the leather quality on the lows. That is true. They should‘ve had the same leather as those lows MJ wore in the Last Dance.
Don’t got the air ships from the pack but the banneds. Those are true to size
Most lacklustre review tho
The leather on those Metallic Navy lows was actually alright. Way better than the Metallic red lows.
That was an SB collab tho. That’s probably why the leather was better.
I think he’s talking about these:
Wow, look at that difference with the wings logo.
Oh, my mistake. Yeah, they went cheap on the leather for sure with the lows.I think he’s talking about these:
Although I completely disagree that they had decent leather.
Jb aint ****
toes have been hit or miss. But when they’re a miss, they’re borderline ski slopes. Overall not mad at these.
I wish JB did more due diligence when it came to redoing retros. Those AMIII (90s) were damn near flawless from: reshaping the outsole/lip, packaging, and shape. The fact they made these Neutral over Natural grey was an air-ball. Stepping down from my sneaker snob mentality, I’m fine w these.

Love that shape.
weren’t NGs primarily produced in the ST-P factory back then? there are dudes that theorized that the shoe that was deconstructed and what the 85 mold is based off of, was a BY factory shoe...based on the measurements and proportions of the new beginnings and reverse breds.
