I love nicekicks because of their comparisons and articles like this

The originals are just gorgeous. The leather, the 3m, the GLOWING infrared.

The 2000 retro was definitely different, but still beautiful.

The 2010 retro.....eh.....i guess an icy sole makes up for a sloppy representation.
 
What do we get out of comparing and complaining about quality then and quality now? Obviously the originals were better. Duh, wouldn't you put out a top notch product the first time around? Makes perfect business sense. Look at the Lebrons. Shoes with yellowed bottoms look like crap anyway. Should have worn them when you still could have. Sea glow them!
 
My '91s are so faded (i guess) that they look kind of pink. Leather definately different.
versus 2010 on right...

Great to see post with all 3 in good shape.

sumbody said the whole back heel was 3m while the front was durabuck...tahts wat i was referring to...but i never even noticed the 3m on the inside. that is a nice touch tho
 
Is there a reason that JB continues to use suede on retroes instead of nubuck? They have to know that nubuck looks 100 times better....
 
Is there a reason why JB continues to use suede on each retro? They have to know that nubuck looks 100% better....

   Thanks for your patience.

The material on the shoes is Nubuck leather. This is a Full Grain leather that has a really fine, buffed surface. It’s like they took 320 grit sand paper to the top of the leather to give it a nice, soft nap.

If you have any other questions please feel free to email me back.

Have a great day!

Neither Retro has the 3M underneath the ankle panel, and for that reason the original is STILL THE BEST. Very big difference to leave out of both Retro's imo

2010s are totally gorss. A poor mans Varsity Red VI, hehe...
