Precisely. There are so manyThere’s so manyretro + colorways. Just cuz a colorway didn’t originate in 1985 is a wild reason to not want a shoe even if it’s dope. Everyone entitled to their own opinion though.

Side view looks alright & some aren’t as bad as others. But the leather overlay on the toe rises up too far, and it looks worse on the other 85 colorways because of the color contrast. These can be overlooked easier since it’s white on white. But I wouldn’t argue with someone if they say toe complaints are nitpicking lol.What’s the big deal w the toe? Shape is angled, height isn’t any more high, size of the cut is the same?

The air holes are too big as well. And the width of the toebox is scrunched. The whole area of the toebox shape isn’t right. But I will get hate for complaining. I don’t care. Jordan Brand needs to get details right, and they need to stop lying to us saying that they are doing it.Side view looks alright & some aren’t as bad as others.

It’s not a recreation, it’s more of an imitationI’m all in on future 85 releases as well...Toe isn’t ideal for sure but we’ve all been overlooking a great many features, on a great many releases from JB over the years...At this point it’s just whatever, not going to be 100 correct anyway...I’m too damn old to get hung up on a shoe not being 1:1...Only thing that gets me to pass is not getting down with the colorway...
As for what releases...Chicago’s are THE ideal release...But I see JB holding those off for the model’s 40th anniversary...In the meantime anything from the OG 1’s pic will be just fine, and there’s more than enough pairs on there to work with...

It’s supposed to be stiff as it’s a thicker cut and more similar to the og. Same with the shoe being more narrow. The og was a more narrow shoe and these were an attempt to replicate the og.I just don’t understand these, the leather is just too damn stiff. And the sizing is super narrow.

what about the banana toe
That is an absurd exaggeration. If you’re gonna troll, at least do a good job of it. You’re so bland.
Over. And over.Dude keep coming to the thread to say the same shxt lol
Thanks bro. It looks like we all have another opportunity to cop if they release them this spring (if the rumor is true). It was unfortunate that they made the 2015 lows a Euro release for an OG colorway, never made sense to me.Dope collection man![]()
Those lows elude me.
