Recently I got my first Air Jordan, it's a 5 Fire Red (2020) and I would like to know if it's normal to have a difference on the positions of the lateral netting and when you shed light on the shoe, it's like some parts were
scrathed and aren't shiny as others. I'm sending some pictures of the sneaker:![20200618_113838[1].jpg](https://statich.niketalk.com/attachments/20200618_113838-1-jpg.2593361/ "20200618_113838[1].jpg")

I know I may catch **** but I absolutely hate this new style! I hate off white ruining sneakers too but I cant lie why do people do this to new shoes this oxidization will happen over a year or two of having em.
The customs look like my CDP pair lol. I thought the original mesh didnt really yellow that much. I will never understand the intentional aged look. Its like the kids around town here buy the cowboy boots, then dirty them up on purpose to make them look like they have had them forever. To me that is looking the part more than it being real.I know some sneakers are deliberately designed and released pre aged but for these I can't see why anyone would think "Oh yeah, THIS is IT!" Natural aging is better because it's, as the term implies, natural. But if they really wanted to go for the aged look then either removing the opaque tint from the netting and making it a more grayish transparent like the 1990 OG while yellowing the sole a little would've made more sense.
Or using more pale yellow on the netting instead of the lemonade yellow they applied to it, if they're trying to mimic a DS 2000 pair.
These do not crease anywhere near as bad as any other 5s i’ve ever owned.. Ive put some serious miles on mine and am shocked at the lack of creasing.
I chalk it up to kids trying to go for that "grungy" look I guess I dunno. Just seems dumb to me.
People need to just wear their shoes and enjoy em. Each crease and scuff, the oxidation of the midsole, outsole, or uppers depending on material, it all tells a genuine story. Making a shoe look aged for the aesthetic doesn't tell a story. Like you said it just shows that they're trying to chase a look rather than actively playing the part.
I've only worn mine around the house but I agree, they certainly didn't "crease immediately" when I put them on LOL
I swear the day the brand drops pre yellowed Cords I am out. Lol. It is totally different if their your shoes that yellow over time. Your shoes, your story, your history with em. But straight out the box? NO. Giving JB more bad ideas here.
