the whole shoe
the shoe is very light in weight from the 1998 and 2005
i guess thats good for some
but thats what i come to expect cheap materials at a premium price
The leather on the sides of the black/reds is cheep and stiff and shiny
The nubuck on the toe is hard and is going to crease like crazy. Totally different than the suede on the OG's
As soon as I saw these I knew I couldnt cop, they dont look anything like the OG's and they hurt your feet
Oh ok, yeah I can agree. I have OG's and I've noticed the differences in weight in past releases.
No zoom? The XIV's was an excellent basketball sneaker, it would be a shame if they changed that

if these are still available a week after the concords release then i'll cop. i think it's bad timing for this shoe to drop.

I am lucky enough to own 2 OG pairs of 14's and the zoom has a great feel. The midsoles in this years 14s feel like a pair of Reebok classics or some Nike MS78's or something with a solid PU midsole. Rock hard and almost painful to wear

with each retro release of most shoes the quality is not there anymore and the OG technology is lost by cutting corners and the shoe are less to make for nike and more to buy for the customers

If these sit long enough to get discounted on Swoosh, then I'll cop. Would like a pair, but $160 is too steep for a sneaker that can only be pulled off in the warmer months (since it sounds like this retro will be horrible for ballin)
