All I see are In my best Charles Barkley voice these are TURRABLE What a shame. With these Pics I am out on these. No use paying for something I can't stand to look at.

I wonder if these are going to have those PU type insoles they’ve been putting in a lot of the OG Jordans for the past few years.

You can't iron the toe box and shape it same way dudes in the 3s/4s/5s threads be doing?

To me it’s not even the toe box, it’s the shape of the outsole that’s the problem. Should be more flat.

The 5 Stages of Grief:

1. Anger

Nike STOP with curly elf sole. Nobody foot is shaped like that. These aren’t running shoes.

2. Denial

Navy
3M
Suede midsole
Tongue height
No

3. Depression

Beautiful. OGs were just timeless. Really takes me back to my childhood and simpler time. Of course I want them to look like this but such is life.

4. Bargaining

You can't iron the toe box and shape it same way dudes in the 3s/4s/5s threads be doing?

5. Acceptance

It's close enough.

I’m buying.

As someone who successfully ironed the toes of the black/cement IVs, I don't think so. The entire toe box on 13s is really stiff. Also, on the IVs, all you're really doing is ironing out the actual front of the toes to give the toe rand some slope/curve. These 13s need the entire toe box reshaped, not just the tip of it.

To me it’s not even the toe box, it’s the shape of the outsole that’s the problem. Should be more flat.

Yup. But careful with that, it's like shining a Bat Signal right in tonytobacco 's eyes

I really dont hate the shape that much on the 13s in the last few years. When I wear my white and black pair, they look normal to me. Back then, 98 and on. I really wasnt paying attention that much to how they looked out the box. But what I do remember, they were banana shot to hell when I got done with em. The curved up toe look gonna happen eventually.

Went and pulled this from the archives....but I had done a side by side of the 2017 Bred to the OG. Kinda hard to tell the shape, but the banana wasn't as bad as the last set of pics posted for the Flints. You can see the toe curl on the pic from the front though. I just hope I don't end up with a pair that bad.

OG is on the left or top of all pics

 

[HellRazor1978]

Really sad to see what they done to the shape of 13's. I'll cop a pair of Flints but this SHOULD be a double. Not happening with that shape.

Looking forward to the 5's more honestly.

 

[Kierris]

Khaled posted them. They look great

Still from that video:

 

[g-time]

I’m in. Wanted them when they originally released, never got them. Just need one.

 

[dhtowng]

Looking pretty damn good in Khalids video . In (was never out).

 

[thegamemodo9]

You can see the toe curl a little....but **** it. I was getting them regardless. I'll deal with it the same way I did on the Breds.....wearing em.

Still from that video:

The toe box looks like a steel toe boot

No, It dont. Assuming you have to wear and or have seen Steel Toe shoes, not even close.

 

[trulyfit]

those look nice. Need at least 2 pair

Great points. For these reasons, the shape of the toe box is a non-issue (for me).

I want the colors to be accurate. And true-to-OG contours are necessary for the quilted material and suede on the lateral side of the shoe -- particularly around the pinky toe area.

If I can find a left and right that each have what you called the "suede dip", I'll be ready to overlook the other shortcomings.

CAN'T WAIT!!! PULLING OUT THAT NUDIE JEAN JACKET BABY!!!

 

[jordans01]

No, It dont. Assuming you have to wear and or have seen Steel Toe shoes, not even close.

Glad you like them.

I will never forget that bleeding suede.

13 only model that had a better shape in 2011 than it does now. Definitely didn’t want these bananas but this happened last week.
