My standards and expectations are lower than yours so hear me out. The BC3 didnt deliver in a lot of ways compared to the 88 I agree. But my pair seems to satisfy me completely. Do I wear them? No. They are displayed with the Come Fly With Me Video VHS my dad bought for me while he was still around. It will always make me think of him. I dont see the high ep, or toe box. I see a real shoe in front of me that takes me back to a place. I truly love this release and the look overall. To me, its a 3 done good enough.The shape of those IIIs is perfect? Those things are an absolute train wreck. I didn’t buy one pair of them, not even for posterity. JB has absolutely destroyed the III during the course of the past 20-plus years. It’s probably the thing I hate those clowns most for
Yooooo. How did you use the toothpick, exactly? I did my edges with a pencil. I'm unclear on how a toothpick gets the gray onto those minuscule edges, unless you applied paint or just roughed up the edges? Please explain, seriously. I want to complete this job even more if possible.It's a toss up for me. The IIIs were my favorite release last year, however this year I'm starting to see glitter on the cheap black leather (easily brushed off though). The IVs I didn't like at first, but a slight toebox reshape and edging changed my mind. Yes, the areas under the wings and around the netting were a little difficult to do (I used a toothpick).
All of this.
lmaooooo
but the 4s i thought were done well and are my favorite jordans and i love the leather on the 3s so it's a tossup for me. they both get worn regularly.
Your right. Maybe I should not have gone that deep there. lol. Anyway, I know the 3 and 4 are lacking the true shape many of us would like to have but from just a shoe standpoint only, seem to be ok by me. Nike Air on an original color release always has me by the balls if I have always wanted it. BC3 and BC4s are shoes I always wanted as a kid. Im weak. lol.
Nah man, you’re good and I get it. At the end of the day, just having the classics back is the main thing. I just have a thing about IIIs in particular. It’s possibly my favorite shoe of all time or damn close. I’ve bought past retros. But they just didn’t give me the feeling I wanted, due to the nonsensical changes. So I swore I wouldn’t buy another pair till Nike finally does them right, or right enough. These BC IVs aren’t nearly as egregious to me. Especially after I fixed the toes and did the lines, I can just stare at them now and get the right happy feeling. The modern IIIs, they just look like imposters to my eyes anymore.
He did the CG 4s right and the Seattle 10s... plus a few other recent releases...
3s for sure. Leather is decent and just a better shoe overall.
