Go back in this thread. There's a closeup comparison of OG/05/11 leather. The leather is way better than the '05's and nearly on par with the grain quality of the OG's. People just talk out of their %%*$% around here, but yeah, keep living in the past!
in every pic of these ive seen it appears as though the sides of the shoes (ribs) can barely hold themselves up, they dont stand tall, and there is little to no perforation of the ribs inbetween the stitching
Also, the top rib is supposed to be more accentuated and turned up and these are not.
XIVs are a top 3 Jordan for me and as many times and Ive combed over all of mine and savored every detail about them, I can say the way these are put together is inferior to all prior XIVs
I've held these in my hand and they are a pretty good retro.
