Thanks for jinxing me, you clown
I don't know about that re: toe slant on the WCs. My two pairs of those, the toes are basically straight as a board with zero slant whatsoever. I don't think it's geometrically possibly to make a straighter toe on these.
That back tab ... I want to compare it side by side with the WCs. I'm wondering if the fact that they seem to have raised the height of the nubuck panel surrounding that area hasn't actually resulted in the heel tab being covered up a bit more than before. In other words, did they have less exposed plastic space to fit the Nike and Air onto, forcing them to fudge the alignment? That would be about right for JB: Throw a half-assed fix to one ongoing complaint on the shoes, only to have it cause a whole new stupid inaccuracy/problem. I could be wrong on this one, though, it just crossed my mind earlier.
EDIT:

's pic above seems to validate this theory, but maybe my eye's are playing tricks on me. I'm pretty convinced, though.

Everyone keeps mentioning Chi 1’s as a possible/probable release during All Star Week 2020 in Chicago.I personally think they might retro the White Cement 3’s as they Debuted during All Star Week 88’ in Chicago.Anyone else think it’s a possibility?

For years I've been trying to understand why they don't do this, or at least why they don't do it a lot more than they do. They spend a lot of time designing and pumping out some of the wackest apparel, when they've got an entire archive of stuff they could just reissue. Par for the course with these fools, as usual.

How'd you keep the nubuck on the 2012's in such good condition?

I want to hate but those are kind of gorgeous. Guess I got to get a pair
They do kind of look weird from the front and the toebox is a bit excessive.

This shot actually seems to reverse what I was thinking about the Nike Air. They raised the cut of the nubuck back there but also appear to have modified the height/dimensions of the heel tab itself to accommodate it. Almost looks like they had more space to deal with as a result and, as I think has been mentioned, increased the font size of the AIR as a solution. I can't tell from the photos if the actual Nike and swoosh have changed size compared to the WCs. Kind of looks like not, or just barely. That would probably explain it: Swoosh and NIKE stay the same, but the AIR has to grow to fill out the extra space below and there you have it, a mismatch. Oh well.
