Heh, yeah, they're always changing up the terms when the prevailing one isn't doing what they want, or gets off track. ex. Remastered didn't seem to go over properly.
BTW, halfway through your latest 2023 pickup vid; thanks for doing that!

I think they named it Retro+ b/c the shade of red wasn't OG. And wasn't this version missing the 3M? Regardless, I think we can all agree that they're naming convention and "program strategy" names was and continues to be poo on toast.

That actually was a mistake. I believe some boxes had it and some didn’t. Infrared is also misspelled.
This must’ve been a mistake then

Or that it was originally supposed to be that Eastbay sample? Typos happened back then but yeah couldve just been mistake. Any other OG's tagged retro + back then?

Yea good point they might’ve switched it up when they decided against the reverse infrareds. This was the only og that was ever mislabeled as retro+ as far as I know.

Kanyizzy hit it. Definitely was a mistake, but because it was supposed to be that sample pair with the infrared and black reversed, and the infrared Nike Air on the back.

Yes, the + was added intentionally because it was going to be different from the OGs.

These are way better than the leather version. The 2024 Reminds me of the aj3 black cement when they released a version with shiny leather

Imma say no. That issue plagued a lot of Nikes back then and seems to have been solved.

This is why I'm only getting two pairs of the Reimagineds, too much hoarding already.

No hate but that's some pretty bad work. Dude gotta keep practicing on his own pairs before he attempts work on someone else's.
