Where'd you hear this?
I was speculating that's what would happen given their change to the midsole paint and sizing for the Fire Red 3.

as in the sizing will be different from the grapes?? I definitely had to go half a size down with the grapes, you think they'll make these TTS?

I hope so, but the white ones weren't hard for me to get and these should be more widespread
How many times did you wear them

They dont yellow really fast.Yellow looks better with red & black rather than a purple-ish blue with black and red, just my opinion.

My 06 pair is in amazing shape still. I wear them maybe 5 times a year? Last picture I took of them, maybe 6 months ago. They're in such good shape I'm not going to even bother with this release.

How you keep them so icy? Dang.

The soles do have some yellowing, but that's to be expected. Actually I think the right shoe has a tiny bit of yellow tint on the mesh so I won't claim they are 100% icy. That's probably due to how I have them in the box with the right shoe mesh facing the top of the box. I just keep them in the box with a silica packet, nothing special.

Exactly they want the "OG" model but then wanna change something ... Well then it's not OG ... Call it the modified OGs lol
I don't get it

Because these people don't know anything about the shoe
lol that's the easiest way to put it. I don't mind the 23 on older releases that were OG cws and I don't mind them trying to keep it OG either I'm indifferent to the 23

I used to hate the 23, but grew to not care. I realized it didn't look as bad as I thought on the fire red 2006's. Maybe it's because of how often JB has disappointed me as a consumer.

But if there is one colorway that should have the 23 it's these, seeing as how they were the only OG colorway that released with it. The real complaint should be why they REFUSE to use the original font 
Unless they are saving it for the "retro 5 OG 90"

How would y'all know if it looks better if y'all never seen a model of this shoe without it? I'm sure if it wasn't there ppl would complain too can't keep everyone happy but mind as well keep the shoe the same
