Could you just cut the insole?

3. the insoles are cut that the ventilation hole on the innerside in the midsole can fully breathe!
especially when you walk outside, you can feel the fresh air flowing in!
4. lacetips are made of metal
retro XIV black/reds from 2005:
1. the leather on the toe and around the Ferrari-styled Jumpman logo is clearly made of suede,
looking and feeling similar to the suede of the XVIII black/sport royals!
2. tongue is longer than on the OG
3. insoles are regular cut blocking the ventilation hole and prevents the cooling effect
4. lacetips are made of chrome painted plastic
Retro XIV black /reds from 2011:
almost like the 2005 retros but somehow JB messed up the heel colorblocking
with the red
Overall the 2005 retros feel at least the same like on the OG, and qualitywise it still belongs to the
more authentic retros.
