Thin ep in 2018 would piss some people off, many would love it. I think the thin pl on the 11s only look bad on the concords and bred 11s
I don’t mind Ep unless it’s really high or isn’t properly aligned like my true blue 3s

Ruin what? You're complaining about nothing, you and I both know they're not going to look like that

I like the higher EP. That's all I've ever known. I understand the OG had the Goku toe, thin EP but I was born in 88 damn it. All I've ever seen since I can remember is the higher cut EP and I think it looks good.

I would like them to put out the OGs again. The thin EP makes the whole shoe look different than any other versions that came after it.
But at this point, I'll take a '94, '01, '03 or even the '09 EU mold than the trash they giving us now

This is a shoe I will never say that the OG is superior for in regard to shape. I love the OG shape on 2s, 4s, 6s, 7-14 and that’s it

Everybody co.plains about Nike releasing the same shoes over and over again, now here we are with an opportunity to switch things up. NO KEEP IT THE SAME
Look at the 94s again. They're TRASH.
They started by F'ing up the midsole and then everything fell out of place from there.
Look at the black painted part and how much longer it is. Look at how they shortened it on the 94. Now look at how the upper doesn't fit it anymore. See how the rear EP over laps it. That's garbage.
Then the tongue. The backing starts to show in 94 then only got worse after that. It's designed to be hidden and it's obvious. Someone who doesn't design very well clearly took the reigns on the 94 silhouette.
The 88s look like bullets.
94s look like snowboard boots.
I won't even mention the toe cap
Trash.

Love the OG's also love the 94's both are
But I gotta agree with you guys, 94's look better.

1988.
Perfect.
I'm not mad at anyone that is partial to 94s or 01s, because unless you had the originals, the higher cut on the EP is what you are used to.

I prefer the 94s because of the slightly higher elephant print and more importantly, because the tounges are better rounded. A lot of the OG 3s has jagged cut tongues and were super thin.

Did you own a pair of the III's in 88 or have you ever owned a pair of the originals?

you're in da extreme minority.
88's arguably look da way they do cuz of constraints on manufacturing technology, and 94 actually make them a more polished product.

I was 4 in 1988. No, I didn’t own a pair of 3s in 1988.
I did own the 1994 white cements as a adult though and really liked the shape and leather quality. The midsole was still dyed on them so they didn’t chip, the color just faded with wear

Wow rich kid
I didn’t own any Jordan 3s until 26
Midsole was dyed? That’s everyone’s dream
No paint strokes, no repaint....
