3M tongue Fire Red's > Black tongue Fire Red's
for sure I never really liked the black tongues as much either.. black tongues and grapes hit outlets hard in 1990 3m tongues did not.

Bugging. The Black tongues are sick and will always be better than these to me. I also like the tongue so far, its not supposed to be that low but I think they OD'd on the 2016 Metallics. That 3M was great but they were odd.

Matter of taste. Never liked black tongues, and in my school back then, I remember back in ‘90 most of us didn’t care and felt like they were stale. How times change LOL

I agree! The amount of people JB hoodwinked on the last metallic retro is still kinda hilarious.
These V's continue to be absolute TANKS, and shape-wise look nothing like they are supposed to. But we all fall for better materials and NA so they are must cop.

Yeah 3M’s for me too...Was my first Jordan sneaker...Probably posted my story before so I won’t get into it again...Not saying I’d pass on the black tongue pair but 3M’s take it...

'16 Black Metallics don't deserve any slander. Those shoes are perfect on feet. We didn't even get the aerodynamic toe or durabuck collar on the '00 retros and those were only 10 year removed from the OG's. Easily the best Jordan from the remastered series along with the '15 Aqua 8's

You must have a low bar if you think those Vs are perfect on feet (I don't blame you, honestly)They essentially took the OG V, gave it steroids, and added a workboot toe for final touch.

Could be wishful thinking but with as many pics of these that we have already......I think we could see these a lot sooner than March
I agree by far one of the best retros to date, they are super comfy and the materials are probably the best were going to get from JB at this point. I honestly can't believe some of you are talking bad about this last metallic retro they are seriously one of the best made releases that were very close to og that we have seen in years.

The 2016 black metallics are an EXCELLENT RETRO!!! They’re a bit bulkier around the ankle than OG, but they fit and look

also true you can actually feel them around your ankle. but that might also be more padding than ogs too

This pair has the exact same issue with the nike air... look at the gap under the NA on the left vs the right side
